An expansion fan takes a flow from \( M = 2 \) to \( M = 3 \). The stagnation pressure ratio across it is

  • A.0.643
  • B.1.000
  • C.0.213
  • D.0.721

Answer: B

An expansion fan is isentropic, so the stagnation pressure is unchanged and the ratio is exactly one. The value 0.213 is the static pressure ratio, and 0.721 belongs to a normal shock at Mach 2; mixing them up is the standard trap in a question of this shape.
