Question: A jet fighter is flying at ( mathcal { M } = 2 ) in still air that has ( T

A jet fighter is flying at \(\mathcal{M}=2\) in still air that has \( T=0^{\circ}\mathrm{F}\) and \( P=4.0\) psia. The air inlet to the jet engine is a converging-diverging diffuser. Inside the engine, the flow is subsonic. The area at the throat is \(2.0\mathrm{ft}^{2}\). What is the mass flow rate through the diffuser, assuming isentropic flow. It will be useful if you switch the frame of reference to have the jet stand still. [167 lbm/s]
