16.1 Introducerea (Introduction)
This chapter focuses the application of the laws of thermodynamics on the behavior of a very specific type of fluid, a compressible fluid. An incompressible fluid has a constant density independent of the magnitude of the applied pressure, but the density of a compressible fluid varies with the applied pressure.
What is a Compressible Fluid?
A compressible fluid is any fluid ...
