i A cubic foot of air at an absolute pressure of 14.7 psi is compressed isentropically

to 12 f t3 by a tire pump. The final pressure is 300 kPa.

ii The speed of sound c, may be related to pressure and density by the equation
q
c = ρp .

iii The continuity equation for incompressible fluid may be written as A1 V1 = A2 V2 .

Where, A1 and A2 are the areas of the cross-sections of the tube at the two ends
and V1 and V2 are the corresponding speeds.

iv When the Mach number, M a > 1, then the aircraft is flying at a subsonic speed.

v A streamline is a line that is everywhere normal to the velocity field.
