Which of the following are compressible flows? a) A weather balloon rises at 5 m/s from sea level to an altitude of more than 15 km. b) Water flows through the nozzle of a water jet cutter and the gage pressure drops from 100 MPa to zero. c) The piston of an internal combustion engine moves at 15 m/s and compresses air and gaseous fuel from 40 kPa to 1300 kPa. d) Liquid nitrogen at 100 kPa with density 807 kg/m³ evaporates from a stationary dewar in a 1 m/s airflow to become nitrogen gas with density 1.16 kg/m³. e) A 1.0 MPa compression wave travels at 1.0 km/s into air at 15°C and 1.0 atm.
