Evacuating and Filling a Semi Rigid Chambers

In some ways the next two Chapters contain materials is new to the traditional compressible flow text books^11.1. It was the undersigned experience, that in traditional classes for with compressible flow (sometimes referred to as gas dynamics) don't provide a demonstration to applicability of the class material aside to aeronautical spectrum even such as turbomachinery. In this Chapter a discussion on application of compressible flow to other fields like manufacturing is presented^11.2.

There is a significant importance to the ``pure'' models such Isothermal flow and Fanno flow which have immediate applicability. However, in many instances, the situations, in life, are far more complicate. Combination of gas compressibility in the chamber and flow out or through a tube post a special interest and these next two Chapters are dealing with these topics. In the first Chapter models, were the chamber volume is controlled or a function of the pressure, are discussed. In the second Chapter, models, were the chamber's volume is a function of external forces, are presented (see Figure (11.1)).clasifications of chambers
