MachFromMassFlowParameter:

Path: ACPro/ACEngine

% Mach number from mass flow parameter. You need to enter a guess for
   the Mach number since any mass flow parameter has two possible Mach
   numbers. The initial guess must be on the same side of 1 as the
   expected Mach Number.

   This routine uses a Newton-Raphson method to find the Mach number.
