Cheers for the responses! It's much clearer now.

When it completes a revolution it will have also gained 'height' as it will have moved 'up' the spiral. So you're angular velocity will have to account for that direction as well. However with your angular acceleration, as long as it is moving 'up' the spiral at constant velocity the equations...

Ahhh that's a much easier definition to understand. So it really has no relevance as an absolute quantity. Cheers for that. However now another question springs to mind: if it's modelling a constant pressure process then why can we use it to find the work done in a turbine in which there is a...
