For air at \( M = 1 \), the ratio of stagnation pressure to static pressure is nearest to

  • A.1.58
  • B.2.40
  • C.1.89
  • D.1.20

Answer: C

The isentropic relation is \( p_0 / p = (1 + 0.2 M^2)^{3.5} \). At \( M = 1 \) that is \( 1.2^{3.5} = 1.893 \). Its reciprocal, \( 0.528 \), is the critical pressure ratio, the value the back pressure must fall below before a converging nozzle will choke.
