A supersonic nozzle has an area ratio of \( 1.69 \). Its test-section Mach number is

  • A.2.0
  • B.1.69
  • C.1.0
  • D.3.0

Answer: A

An isentropic area ratio of 1.687 corresponds to Mach 2 on the supersonic branch for air. The area ratio alone fixes the test-section Mach number, which is why a supersonic tunnel changes Mach number by changing nozzle blocks or by using flexible walls.
