For air, the critical pressure ratio \( p^*/p_0 \) is nearest to

  • A.0.634
  • B.0.283
  • C.0.528
  • D.0.833

Answer: C

Raising the critical temperature ratio to the power \( \gamma/(\gamma-1) = 3.5 \) gives \( 0.833^{3.5} = 0.528 \). A converging nozzle chokes as soon as the back pressure falls below this fraction of the stagnation pressure, after which the mass flow is fixed.
