A designer claims a convex corner can turn a Mach 2 stream through 120 degrees. The claim is

  • A.Correct, since the maximum turn is 130.45 degrees
  • B.Correct, provided the corner is sharp
  • C.Wrong, because no expansion can exceed 90 degrees
  • D.Wrong; only about 104 degrees remain at Mach 2

Answer: D

The maximum function value is 130.45 degrees, and the flow has already spent \( \nu(2) = 26.38 \) degrees getting to Mach 2, so only about 104 degrees remain. The trap is quoting the maximum as though the flow started from sonic conditions.
