3. The NASA X-43 flies at a Mach number of 9.4 at an altitude of 30,000 m, where thepressure is 1171.8 Pa and the temperature is 226 K. If a supersonic wind tunnel isdesigned to reproduce these conditions, calculate the following:(a) The velocity (m/s), total/stagnation temperature (K), and total/stagnation pres-sure (kPa) in the test section.(b) The velocity (m/s), total temperature (K), and total pressure (kPa) behind thenormal shock formed in front of a blunt surface in the test section.(c) The change in entropy across this normal shock.

3. The NASA X-43 flies at a Mach number of 9.4 at an altitude of 30,000 m, where the
pressure is 1171.8 Pa and the temperature is 226 K. If a supersonic wind tunnel is
designed to reproduce these conditions, calculate the following:
(a) The velocity (m/s), total/stagnation temperature (K), and total/stagnation pres-
sure (kPa) in the test section.
(b) The velocity (m/s), total temperature (K), and total pressure (kPa) behind the
normal shock formed in front of a blunt surface in the test section.
(c) The change in entropy across this normal shock.
