Typically for high speed equipment, as flow increases the velocity of the flow can approach sonic speed somewhere within the compressor stage.
12.
As the flow approaches sonic speed, the nonlinear phenomena dominate within the flow, which this transformation completely ignores for the sake of simplicity.
13.
When the point reaches sonic speed ( M = 1 ), it travels at the same speed as the sound waves it creates.
14.
C-D nozzles can accelerate the jet to supersonic velocities within the divergent section, whereas a convergent nozzle cannot accelerate the jet beyond sonic speed.
15.
This fact is used extensively in rocketry where hypersonic flows are required and where propellant mixtures are deliberately chosen to further increase the sonic speed.
16.
Not keeping pace with the sonic speed of technology _ which was clearly moving toward the Internet _ provided a bit of a wake up call.
17.
As the dogs chase the duckling at super-sonic speed, the boat's rudder blades cut the water in half, then the land in half, sinking a tree.
18.
This means that the singularity featured by the transformation near the sonic speed ( " M = 1 " ) is not within the area of validity.
19.
Instead of trying to take on Airbus Industrie's A380 superjumbo jet, Boeing is pinning its strategic hopes on the nearly sonic speed of a radical new jetliner.
20.
If Boeing has found a way to make near-sonic speed flight possible at a reasonable cost, the company could have itself an Airbus-killer airplane, one analyst said.
