SpeedSnd:

Path: Propulsion/Gas

% Compute the speed of sound.

   Type SpeedSnd for a demo using Helium.

   Since version 1.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   a = SpeedSnd( gamma, molWt, T )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   gamma         (1,1) Ratio of specific heats
   molWt         (1,1) Average molecular weight of the gas (kg/mole)
   T             (1,:) Temperature (deg-K)

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   a             (1,:) Speed of sound (m/sec)
