Equations for Rayleigh Calculation (Fox and McDonald, 1978; Munson et al., 1998; Shames, 1992): Po/Po* = (k+1)/(kM2 + 1){[ (2/(k+1)][1 + (k-1)M2 / 2]}k/(k-1) To/To* = 2 M2 (k+1)[1 + (k-1)M2 / 2] / (1 + kM2)2 P/P* = (k+1) / (1 + kM2) T/T* = [(k+1)M / (1 + kM2)]2 V/V* = (k+1)M2 / (1 + kM2) Variables for Rayleigh Calculation (* indicates sonic conditions): References: Munson, B.R., D.
