Question: Consider supersonic ( i . e . , M can be any value > 1 ) air flow at the entrance of a constant area

Consider supersonic (i.e., M can be any value >1) air flow at the entrance of a constant area duct with an internal diameter, d =5 cm and a constant friction factor, fav =0.002. What is the maximum duct length (in metres) possible so that the Mach number is sonic at the exit?
(Assume Fanno flow within the duct and that air behaves as a perfect gas with =1.4)
