What is the significance of Mach number in compressible fluid flow?

The Mach Number is a dimensionless value useful for analyzing fluid flow dynamics problems where compressibility is a significant factor. The bulk modulus elasticity has the dimension pressure and is commonly used to characterize fluid compressibility. The square of the Mach number is the Cauchy Number.

What is the velocity of sound in solids?

The speed of sound in solid is 6000 meters per second while the speed of sound in steel is equal to 5100 meters per second. Another interesting fact about the speed of the sound is that sound travels 35 times faster in diamonds than in the air.
