    Entropy Plot
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on plotting the Fanno flow entropy equation in a temperature-entropy (T-s) plot, specifically addressing the relationship between entropy change (S2-S1) and temperature ratios (T2/T1). Participants inquire about the specific variables to plot, such as whether to plot S2-S1 against T2 or T2/T1. The Mach number's dependency on temperature and entropy is also questioned, suggesting that if it varies with both, a contour plot would be necessary. A brute force method for creating a contour plot involves generating a grid of S and T points to visualize the equation's solutions. The conversation emphasizes the complexities of plotting Fanno flow characteristics accurately.

Hi everybody, I have a problem with this equation:
it represents the motion of a gas in a duct with friction (Fanno flow). I need to plot this function in a T-s plot, do you have any ideas? the Mach number changes along the curve...

R=constant
S2-S1=R*(M2-1)*log(T2/T1)$

What exactly do you want to plot? S2-S1 vs. T2, or vs. T2/T1?

What variables does M (the Mach number?) depend on? Is it just a function of T? S and T?

If it depends on both you'll need to do a contour plot. (The brute force way of doing a contour plot is basically to generate a grid of S and T points and then plot a point for every pair of values (T,S) that satisfy the equation).
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
