The global behavior of Fanno processes is examined for dense gases. It is shown that three sonic points corresponding to two local maxima and one local minimum in the entropy can occur if the fluid is of the Bethe-Zel'dovich-Thompson type. Both analytical and numerical examples of the nonclassical behavior are provided.
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.
