Isentropic Expansion Calculations
 
This form calculates properties of a supersonic flow through an expansion angle. The required input is the Mach number of the upstream flow and the expansion angle (theta). The gas is assumed to be ideal air.
 
Tabulated Data
Inputs
Upstream Mach Number (M1)

 
Expansion angle for flow (theta)(deg)

 


Results
Downstream Mach Number (M2)

 

Note: NAN -- indicates that expansion angle input is greater than the maximum permitted for upstream Mach number.
