Answer

a) $c = 347 m/s$ $Ma =0.951$ b) $ c = 537 m/s$ $Ma = 0.582$

Work Step by Step

a) The gas const $R = 0.287 KJ/(KG.K)$ Specific heat ratio , $K =1.4$ we have $ c = \sqrt (KRT)$ Substituting the values $c = \sqrt(1.4 KJ/(KG.K) \times 0.287 KJ/(KG.K) \times 283K \times ((1000m2/s2)/(1KJ/Kg))$ on solving we get $c = 347 m/s$ We have $Ma = v/c = (330 m/s)/(347 m/s) = 0.951$ b) at $T = 800K$ we have$ c = \sqrt (KRT)$ Substituting the values $ c = \sqrt(1.4 KJ/(KG.K) \times 0.287 KJ/(KG.K) \times 800K \times ((1000m2/s2)/(1KJ/Kg))$ on solving we get $ c = 537 m/s$ We have $ Ma = v/c = (300 m/s)/(537 m/s) = 0.582$
