The review and analysis of the formula suggested in scientific technical literature for calculation of the compression ratio of gas stream passing through a diaphragm in the critical flow mode were conducted. The basic assumptions were formulated which lead to its incorrect determination and directly introduce the error in the calculation of the medium flow rate. The analytical solution id is suggested for obtaining a reliable value of the compression ratio of gas stream passing through a diaphragm in the critical flow mode. A practical approval of the obtained analytical solution is presented
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
