The high error in the plot is due to the error due to iterations being stopped to 10^6.

Rao Nozzle with Length Ratio 0.9:

Error in this is also due to the same reason as mentioned above.

These graphs pretty match with theoretical results as from theory, Stagnation
Temperature is constant as shown in the results and a slight change in Stagnation
Pressure occurs as there are weak shocks in the nozzle and sometimes the flow
simulation hasn't converged. This problem with the convergence also creates the
fluctuation in the stagnation pressure obtained from the results.

The deviation of the results from ANSYS fluent is due to 2D effects in the flow in
the subsonic region and in the supersonic region due to 2D effects and sometimes
the lack of convergence of results during flow simulations.
The sudden decrease in the mach number in ANSYS fluent simulations is due to the
presence of shock waves in the flow.
