How This Is Calculated


$$ Ma = \frac{v}{c} $$ where:

Ma   =   Mach Numebr   (Dimensionless)

v   =   Flow velocity  (m/s²)

c   =   Speed of sound in the fluid   (m)


Assumptions


  • The fluid is incompressible.
  • Fluid behaves as an ideal gas.
  • Steady flow conditions.
  • Flow is isentropic.
