De Laval Nozzle
Wolfram Research
A de Laval nozzle is a tube that is pinched in the middle, making a carefully balanced, asymmetric hourglass shape. It is used to accelerate a hot, pressurized gas passing through it to a higher supersonic speed in th...

Heat Capacity of an Ideal Gas by Amount
Wolfram Research
Heat capacity or thermal capacity of an ideal gas is a measurable physical quantity equal to the ratio of the heat added (or removed) to the resulting temperature change. An ideal gas is a theoretical gas composed of ...

Heat Capacity Ratio Using Heat Capacities
Wolfram Research
The heat capacity ratio is the ratio of the heat capacity at constant pressure to heat capacity at constant volume.
Keywords:
Isobaric Process
Wolfram Research
An isobaric process is a thermodynamic process in which the pressure stays constant.
Keywords:
Isochoric Process
Wolfram Research
An isochoric process is a thermodynamic process during which the volume of the closed system undergoing such a process remains constant.
Keywords:
Polytropic Process
Wolfram Research
A polytropic process is a thermodynamic process that obeys the relation that the pressure times the specific volume to the power of the polytropic index equals a constant.
