GATE_AE_2027_MOCK_02_Q55 GATE 2027 Aerospace Engineering All-India Master Mock 02 (Compressible Aerodynamics & High-Speed Propulsion) NAT · 2 Marks
Propulsion • Inlets, Combustors & Nozzles • Convergent-Divergent Nozzle & Choking

A convergent-divergent nozzle has throat area $A^* = 0.05\text{ m}^2$ and exit area $A_e = 0.15\text{ m}^2$. The nozzle operates at design supersonic condition with air ($\gamma = 1.4$). What is the exit-to-throat area ratio $A_e/A^*$?

Answer Key:
3.0

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

### Solution: Area ratio $= \frac{A_e}{A^*} = \frac{0.15}{0.05} = 3.0$. Correct: 3.0.
