The value of Mach number,
is a function of the resistance,
and the ratio of pressure in the tank to the back pressure,
.
The exit pressure,
is different from
in some situations.
As it was shown before, once the flow became choked the Mach number,
is only a function of the resistance,
.
These statements are correct for both Fanno flow and the Isothermal
flow models.
The method outlined in Chapters 8
and 9 is appropriate for solving
for entrance Mach number,
.
Two equations must be solved for the Mach numbers at the duct entrance
and exit when the flow is in a chokeless condition.
These equations are combinations of the momentum and
energy equations in terms of the Mach numbers.
The characteristic equations for Fanno flow (9.50),
are
and
where

is defined by equation (
9.49).
The solution of equations (11.18) and
(11.19)
for given
and
yields the entrance
and exit Mach numbers.
See advance topic about approximate solution for large resistance,
or small entrance Mach number,
.
