What happens to the velocity of the supersonic flow in the divergent duct? Correct Answer Increases

Supersonic flows have M > 1 which results in M2 – 1 value in the area – velocity relation to be positive. Thus for divergent sections where cross – sectional area increases with x, the value of velocity increases.
