Calculate Sonic Velocity







Formula

The formula to calculate the Sonic Velocity (Vs) is:

\[ Vs = \sqrt{\frac{y \cdot R \cdot T}{M}} \]

What is Sonic Velocity?

Sonic velocity describes the speed at which sound travels through a medium. It is influenced by factors such as the medium's density and temperature. Understanding sonic velocity is crucial in fields like acoustics, aerodynamics, and material science.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Using the formula to calculate the Sonic Velocity:

\[ Vs = \sqrt{\frac{1.4 \cdot 287 \cdot 300}{0.029}} \approx 347.19 \text{ m/s} \]

This means that the sonic velocity for this example is approximately 347.19 m/s.
