How to Convert Miles per Hour to Mach
Converting miles per hour (mph) to Mach is a common conversion in aerodynamics and fluid dynamics. Mach number is the ratio of the speed of an object to the speed of sound in the surrounding medium.
Formula
Mach = Miles per Hour ÷ 767.269
or
mach = mph ÷ 767.269
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in miles per hour
- Divide that number by 767.269
- The result is the equivalent Mach number
Examples
- 767.269 mph = 1 Mach
- 1534.538 mph = 2 Mach
- 383.6345 mph = 0.5 Mach
When to Convert Miles per Hour to Mach
This conversion is useful in aviation, aerospace engineering, and fluid dynamics, particularly when dealing with high-speed phenomena and supersonic flight.
