The method of characteristics is adapted to use this information for the solution of the compressible gas flow potential equation, and the contour of a nozzle which accelerates the gas to a high velocity is calculated graphically to illustrate the application of the method. A modification of Koga's procedure for using a computer to solve the equation is proposed.30 ppengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
