Consider the inviscid, adiabatic flow of air at free stream conditions, \( M_1 = 2 \), \( p_1 = 1 \) atm and \( T_1 = 288 \) K around a sharp expansion corner (\( \theta = 20^\circ \)) as shown below. The Prandtl-Meyer function, \( \nu \), is given as a function of Mach number, M, as \( \nu(M) = \sqrt{\frac{\gamma+1}{\gamma-1}} \tan^{-1} \sqrt{\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma+1}(M^2-1)} - \tan^{-1} \sqrt{M^2-1} \). Assume air to be calorically perfect with \( \gamma = 1.4 \). The Mach number, \( M_2 \), downstream of the expansion corner is approximately
