Path: Propulsion/Gas
% Computes the Mach number from area ratio. The throat is at Mach 1. Type MachFromAreaRatio for a demo. Since version 8. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: M = MachFromAreaRatio( aR, gamma ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ aR (1,1) Area ratio Exit Area/Throat Area gamma (1,1) Ratio of specific heats ------- Outputs ------- M (1,1) Mach number --------------------------------------------------------------------------
