Problem 3) For quasi-1D steady adiabatic flow in a converging-diverging channel with negligible

friction, show that the maximum achievable mass flux (m/A) occurs at "critical" or sonic flow with Mach

number equal to one, valid for all simple compressible substances.

Note: For steady quasi-ID flow the maximum mass flux must occur at the minimum flow area (So dA-0).

Clearly show symbolic equations. Starting from fundamental principles, explain the logical and algebraic

steps to show the requirement for Mach number equal to one at this critical condition.
