Here are some of the basic engineering formulas/equations related to energy conversion systems which are built into the Engineering Software product line:

Continuity Equation

m = vA

Momentum Equation

F = (vm + pA)out - in

Energy Equation

Q - W = ((h + v2/2 + gh)m)out - in

State Equation for Ideal Gas

pv = RT/MW

Perfect Gas

cp = constant

k = cp / cv

Isentropic Compression

T2 / T1  =  (p2 / p1)(k-1)/k

T2 / T1  =  (V1 / V2)(k-1)

p2 / p1  =  (V1 / V2)k

Combustion

hreactants  =  hproducts

Isentropic Expansion

T1 / T2  =  (p1 / p2)(k-1)/k

T1 / T2  =  (V2 / V1)(k-1)

p1 / p2  =  (V2 / V1)k

Sonic Velocity

vs  =  (kRT/MW)1/2

Mach Number

M =  v/vs

Isentropic Flow

Tt / T  =  (1 + M2(k - 1)/2)

pt / p  =  (1 + M2(k - 1)/2)k/(k-1)

ht  =  (h + v2/2)

Tt  =  (T + v2/(2cp))

Thrust

Thrust =  vm + (p - pa)A
