Which outcome occurs when hot exhaust gases from a turbine engine rapidly expand through a converging-diverging nozzle?

💡 Explanation

Isentropic cooling and supersonic flow occur because adiabatic expansion through the nozzle leads to a decrease in temperature, and the de Laval nozzle design causes the Mach number to exceed 1. Therefore, supersonic flow results, rather than other thermal effects, due to directed acceleration.
