Question: For low-speed (nearly incompressible) gas flow, the stagnation pressure can be computed from Bernoullis equation (a) For higher subsonic speeds, show that the isentropic relation
(a) For higher subsonic speeds, show that the isentropic relation (9.28a) can be expanded in a power series as follows:
(b) Suppose that a Pitot-static tube in air measures the pressure difference p0 p and uses the Bernoulli relation, with stagnation density, to estimate the gas velocity. At what Mach number will the error be 4 percent?
