Question:medium

Air \((\gamma=1.4)\) flows isentropically through a convergent-divergent nozzle. At a certain section, the Mach number is \(1.0\) (at the throat). If the stagnation temperature is \(720\ \text{K}\), find the static temperature at the throat.

Show Hint

For isentropic compressible flow, \[ \boxed{ \frac{T_0}{T} = 1+\frac{\gamma-1}{2}M^2. } \] At the nozzle throat, \[ \boxed{ M=1. } \]
