What is Thermally Choked Flow?

Thermally choked flow occurs when a fluid reaches its maximum flow rate due to thermal effects, typically in high-temperature or high-pressure systems. The flow becomes "choked" when the fluid velocity reaches the speed of sound at the narrowest point (throat) of the system.
