The most important quantity that dominates the physical properties of compressible flow is _______(a) Speed of sound(b) Speed of light(c) Density of medium of propagation(d) Distance of propagationThe question was asked in exam.This question is from The Basic Normal Shock Equations topic in section Normal Shock Waves of Aerodynamics

Answer»

Correct answer is (a) SPEED of sound

The explanation is: The speed of sound is the quantity that DOMINATES the physical properties of compressible flow. Speed of light is not important in compressible flow PROBLEMS. Density of MEDIUM and distance of propagation are SECONDARY quantities.
