The temperature in isentropic flow_______________?

Correct answer: B. Depends on Mach number only

  • A. Does not depend on Mach number
  • B. Depends on Mach number only
  • C. Cannot drop and then increase again downstream
  • D. None of these

Explanation

For isentropic flow of an ideal gas, the static-temperature relation is T/T₀ = 1/[1 + (γ−1)M²/2], so temperature is linked to Mach number when stagnation conditions are fixed. Thus the expected choice is that it depends on Mach number.
