Mach number = v/c.
c = sqrt(bulk modulus/density).
c = sqrt(bulk modulus/density).

v = (k/density)^0.5.
Mach no = v/c.
So k is required to find Mach no.
Mach no = v/c.
So k is required to find Mach no.

Why we need bulk modulus to find the elastic forces?

Why we need to use this numbers, and what is Knudsen number?

Is it is supersonic if Mach number is exactly equal to 3 or if mach no is greater than 1.

Mach number is the ratio of the speed of flow to the speed of sound. Where the speed of flow depends on bulk modulus.
Mach number is a dimensionless quantity.

@Vennela.
Knudsen number = Free length/characteristic length.
Knudsen number = Free length/characteristic length.

Alternatively, the Mach Number can be expressed with the density and the bulk modulus for elasticity as,
M = v (ρ/ E)1/2.
Where,
ρ = density of fluid (kg/m^3, lb/ft^3).
E = bulk modulus elasticity (N/m^2 (Pa), lbf/in^2 (psi)).
The bulk modulus elasticity has the dimension pressure and is commonly used to characterize the fluid compressibility.

Is there any difference between Bulk Modulus and Bulk Modulus of Elasticity?

Not getting this. Please someone explain in detail.
