The maximum theoretical flow rate (slug/s) through a supersonic noozzle is

M (max) = 2.38 (AtP0/v (T0))

Where At (ft^2) is the nozzle throat area, P0 (psi) is the tank pressure, and T0 (0R) is the tank temperature. Is this equation dimensionally correct? If not, find the units of 2.38 term. Write the equation in SI units.
