How & why

Gino Girolamo Fanno was an Italian engineer who gave his name to Fanno flow, the model of compressible fluid flow with friction in a constant-area duct that remains a staple of gas dynamics. He was born to an Italian-Jewish family in Venice and was barred from teaching under Fascist racial laws; his Jewish identity is documented.
