For air, the ratio of critical static temperature to stagnation temperature is

  • A.1.200
  • B.0.833
  • C.0.528
  • D.0.634

Answer: B

At the critical condition the Mach number is one, so \( T^*/T_0 = 1 / (1 + 0.2) = 2/(\gamma + 1) = 2/2.4 = 0.833 \). The value 0.528 is the corresponding pressure ratio and 0.634 the density ratio; all three are worth remembering, since they recur throughout nozzle work.
