The pressure wave velocity c is given by

1 / (dp/d(density)) sqrt(dp/d(density)) sqrt(d(density)/dp) (dp/d(density))

For an ideal gas, velocity of sound is given by

1/ɣ*R*T sqrt(1/ɣ*R*T) sqrt(ɣ/RT) sqrt(ɣ*R*T)

The reference temperature To and normal temperature T are related by

(To/T) = 1 + (V2)/(2*cp*T) (To/T) = 1 – (V2)/(2*cp*T) (To/T) = 1 + (V2)/(cp*T) (To/T) = 1 – (V2)/(cp*T)

The reference temperature To and normal temperature T can be related in terms of M by

(To/T) = 1 + (ɣ-1)*(M2) (To/T) = 1 + (ɣ-1)*(M2)/2 (To/T) = 1 – (ɣ-1)*(M2)/2 (To/T) = 1 – (ɣ-1)*(M2)
