compressible fluid flow
Example
Ma=V/c
V=Maxc
V=1.5x336.4
V=504.61m/s
An aeroplane is to move at Mach number of 1.5 at a pressure of 89.89 kPa. If density of fluid is 1.112 kg/m3 , calculate the speed of the plane in km/h. Given, k = 1.4 (if the value of k is not specified, it is usually assume to be1.4.)
c=sqrt(kP/p)
c=sqrt(1.4x89890/1.112)
c=336.4
Try this yourself
A jet travels at a speed of 320m/s and at a Machs number of 1.13. Find the sonic velocity, c.
