Assertion (A): Isentropic flow relations can be tabulated against Mach number alone for a given gas.

Reason (R): Every isentropic ratio depends only on the Mach number and the specific heat ratio.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.A is false but R is true
  • B.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • C.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • D.A is true but R is false

Answer: B

Both are true and the second explains the first. Once the gas is fixed, the specific heat ratio is a constant, so the stagnation-to-static ratios and the area ratio all reduce to functions of Mach number. That is exactly what makes the familiar one-column isentropic tables possible.
