A flow is expanded from \( M = 2 \) to \( M = 3 \). The trailing Mach line of the fan lies at what angle to the downstream flow direction?

  • A.23.4 degrees
  • B.49.8 degrees
  • C.19.5 degrees
  • D.30.0 degrees

Answer: C

The trailing characteristic sits at the downstream Mach angle, \( \arcsin(1/3) = 19.47 \) degrees, measured from the downstream flow direction. Because this is smaller than the leading angle of 30 degrees, the fan opens out, which is the geometric signature of an expansion.
