STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Mach Number = (5*((Impact Pressure/Static Pressure+1)^(2/7)-1))^(0.5)
M = (5*((q_c/p_st+1)^(2/7)-1))^(0.5)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Mach Number - Mach Number is a dimensionless quantity in fluid dynamics representing the ratio of flow velocity past a boundary to the local speed of sound.
Impact Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Impact Pressure is the difference between total pressure and static pressure.
Static Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Static Pressure is defined as the actual pressure of the fluid, which is associated not with its motion but with its state.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Impact Pressure: 255 Pascal --> 255 Pascal No Conversion Required
Static Pressure: 250 Pascal --> 250 Pascal No Conversion Required
