On a Temperature-Entropy (T-s) diagram for Rayleigh flow, at what Mach number does the maximum entropy occur?
Explanation
This question assesses the understanding of the key points on the Rayleigh line as plotted on a T-s diagram. The point of maximum temperature (M = 1/sqrt(k)) is different from the point of maximum entropy (M=1), which corresponds to choked flow.
