A total-pressure probe is placed in a supersonic wind tunnel where T = 530°R and M = 2.0. A normal shock stands in front of the probe. Behind the shock, M2 = 0.577 and p2 = 5.76 psia. Find (a) the downstream stagnation pressure and stagnation temperature and (b) all fluid properties upstream from the shock. Show static and stagnation state points and the process path on a Ts diagram.

- This year's qualification round featured a spaceship escaping from a shock wave (Problem B). The crew survived and wants to study the shock wave in more detail. It can be assumed that the shock wave travels through a stationary flow of an ideal polytropic gas which is adiabatic on both sides of the shock. Properties in front and behind a shock are related through the three Rankine-Hugoniot jump conditions (mass, momentum, energy conservation): Pivi = P2V2 Pivi + P1 = p2u3 +p2 + h2 + hị = 2 where p, v, p, and h are the density, shock velocity, pressure, and specific enthalpy in front (). and behind (2) the shock respectively. Shock front v2, P2; P2, h2 V1, P1, P1, h1 (a) Explain briefly the following terms used in the text above: (i) stationary flow (ii) polytropic gas (iii) specific enthalpy (b) Show with the Rankine-Hugoniot conditions that the change in specific enthalpy is given by: P2 - Pi 1 Ah = 2 P1 P2 The general form of Bernoulli's law is fulfilled on both sides of the shock…arrow_forwardA supersonic airflow at Ma1 = 3.2 and p1 = 50 kPa undergoesa compression shock followed by an isentropic expansionturn.
