For a known value of Mach number, it is easy to calculate area ratio. Throat area sizing is the first step in the design.If we know the details of the resource/requirements, we can calculate the size of throat.

Any Doubts !!!
The maximum number corresponding to an almost zero static pressure of the gas.
This design is meant to work only in Vacuum !!!
What is its performance while launching ???
What is the thrust at sea level ?
Will the nozzle exit flow be a supersonic ?
![Page 14: Design of Supersonic Intake / Nozzle P M V Subbarao Associate Professor Mechanical Engineering Department I I T Delhi Meeting the Cruising Conditions…](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649f445503460f94c65bf6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
SEA Level PerformanceAmbient Pressure is maximum at Sea level. The design conditions are vacuum. Will the mass flow rate be same ? How to Calculate the corresponding Mass flow rate of propellant ? Will p0 and T0 remain same ?
What happens if it is not possible to obtain the design mass flow rate ? One needs to know the Mach number distribution for a given geometric design!

Will it satisfy the throat condition?
