A stream at \( M_1 = 1.5 \), for which \( \nu = 11.90 \) degrees, is turned through \( 14.48 \) degrees round a convex corner. The downstream Mach number is

  • A.2.5
  • B.3.0
  • C.2.0
  • D.1.5

Answer: C

Turning angles add in the Prandtl-Meyer function, so \( \nu_2 = 11.90 + 14.48 = 26.38 \) degrees. Reading that value back gives \( M_2 = 2.0 \). This additivity is the whole reason the function is tabulated: no iteration is required.
