4. Reversible flow of a perfect gas in a cylindrical pipe

This flow, known as Rayleigh flow, which takes place at Ω = Cte while respecting reversibility, can only develop with a controlled q heat exchange. This necessity makes it infrequent in practice.

4.1 Rayleigh flow equations

The general equations applied to this particular case are as follows:

  • continuity (2) : ρ1  v1  =  ρ2  v2  =
