3. Adiabatic flow of a perfect gas in a cylindrical pipe

This adiabatic flow, which does not respect the evolution of the cross-section Ω of an isentropic flow, is essentially irreversible. It is extremely common in practice, and is known as Fanno flow.

3.1 Fanno flow equations

The general equations, applied to this particular case, can be written as follows.

Continuity (2) :

ρ1v1=ρ2v2=
