Fanno Flow

An adiabatic flow with friction is named after Ginno Fanno a Jewish engineer. This model is the second pipe flow model described here. The main restriction for this model is that heat transfer is negligible and can be ignored ^9.1. This model is applicable to flow processes which are very fast compared to heat transfer mechanisms with small Eckert number.

This model explains many industrial flow processes which includes emptying of pressured container through a relatively short tube, exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, compressed air systems, etc. As this model raised from need to explain the steam flow in turbines.
