Sonic Fluid Flow 2

[venividivici]

Why is sonic velocity the maximum velocity a fluid will flow under typical conditions (fluid flowing from higher pressure to lower pressure). I know that flow becomes choked at Mach=1, but what physically causes this to be the case?

Should I say something about equations of state just to give you two a Salioday fix?

Rumor has it that mbeychok is still discussing this issue with a greater power. Perhaps Sailoday has also sailed off to the great unknown without a conclusion to whatever the point of contention is.

I always read only what you write zdas. Never between lines, words, paragraphs, not any blank spaces...

Sailoday28 has had large gaps in his attendance before, so he may be back.

Yes, way, way, into the weeds.

Why not? We might get a quasi-steady-state-analysis of all of this.
