Fanno Line Formulations:
• Choking Parameter: (4fL*/D) = (1−M²)/(γM²) + [(γ+1)/(2γ)] ln[(γ+1)M² / (2 + (γ−1)M²)]
• Max Choking Length: Lmax = (4fL*/D)₁ · D / (4f) [m]
• Stagnation Pressure Drop: P₀₂ / P₀₁ = (P₀/P₀*)₂ / (P₀/P₀*)₁
• Wall Friction drives subsonic flows toward M=1 and decelerates supersonic flows.
• Choking Parameter: (4fL*/D) = (1−M²)/(γM²) + [(γ+1)/(2γ)] ln[(γ+1)M² / (2 + (γ−1)M²)]
• Max Choking Length: Lmax = (4fL*/D)₁ · D / (4f) [m]
• Stagnation Pressure Drop: P₀₂ / P₀₁ = (P₀/P₀*)₂ / (P₀/P₀*)₁
• Wall Friction drives subsonic flows toward M=1 and decelerates supersonic flows.

📘 Calculation Methodology & Fanno Flow Standards
Fanno Line Thermodynamics
Adiabatic friction in a constant-area duct drives the flow toward maximum entropy, which always occurs at the sonic state ($M=1$):
4fL*/D = (1−M²)/(γM²) + [(γ+1)/(2γ)] ln[(γ+1)M² / (2 + (γ−1)M²)]
Sonic Choking Phenomenon
If actual duct length $L \ge L_{max}$, the flow chokes at the exit ($M_2 = 1.0$), forcing an inlet pressure buildup and mass flow rate reduction.
Key Engineering Assumptions
- 1D steady adiabatic flow of ideal gas in constant cross-section duct.
- Uniform average Fanning friction factor $f$.
- Calorically perfect gas ($\gamma = 1.40$).
