![]() For example, the standard atmospheric model reduces the temperature to -56.5 ° C (-69.7 ° F) at an altitude of 11,000 meters (36,089 feet) and the corresponding speed of sound (Mach 1) is 295.0 meters / second (967.8 feet/second). In gas, the temperature rises in proportion to the square root of the absolute temperature, and as the altitude rises to 11,000 meters (36,089 feet) above sea level, the temperature generally drops, so the speed of sound also drops. The speed of sound is 340.3 m / s (1,116.5 ft / s 761.23 mph), as modeled at the International Standard Atmosphere, dry air above sea level, and standard temperatures of 15 ° C (59 ° F). However, if the density change with pressure or temperature is small, approximating the fluid as incompressible simplifies the calculations considerably.įluids (air/gas) behave similarly under the influence of compression ratio at a particular Mach number, independent of other variables. Strictly speaking, no perfectly incompressible fluid exists. Liquids are always considered incompressible because their density changes less with pressure and temperature. The volume of an incompressible liquid does not change with changes in pressure or temperature, and the density is treated as constant. On the other hand, if compression and expansion do not significantly affect the density of the fluid, the fluid is said to be incompressible. A fluid is said to be compressible if compression and expansion have a large effect on the density (kg/m 3) of the fluid. Compressibility and Mach numberĬompression and expansion are important properties of fluids. The study of shock waves is also dependent on Mach Number.Mach number is an important parameter for studying choked flow and flow through nozzles. ![]() While studying the motion of rockets and planes, the Mach number is a very important parameter.To find out the sonic condition of fluid while determining the probability of acoustic-induced vibration.There are many other applications of Mach number as listed below: Mach number is used to determine whether a flow is incompressible or compressible. ![]()
