Ex 4.1: $p_o = 1000 \text{ kpa}$, $A_1 = 2 \text{cm}^2$, $A_e = 4 \text{cm}^2$, $A_x = 3.4 \text{cm}^2$, where a normal shock wave occurs at the diverging part. Calculate $p_e$?

Step 1
We know that a normal shock wave occurs at the diverging part of the flow. This means that the flow is supersonic before the shock wave and subsonic after the shock wave. Show more…

Consider a normal shock wave in air where the upstream flow properties are u1 = 660 m/s, T1 = 288 K, and p1=1 atm. Calculate the velocity, temperature, and pressure downstream of the shock.

Air from a reservoir at 20°C and 500 kPa flows through a duct and forms a normal shock downstream of a throat of area 10 cm2. By an odd coincidence it is found that the stagnation pressure downstream of this shock exactly equals the throat pressure. What is the area where the shock wave stands?

Consider an incident normal shock wave that reflects from the end wall of a shock tube. The air in the driven section of the shock tube (ahead of the incident wave) is at p, = 0.01 atm and TI = 300 K. The pressure ratio across the incident shock is 1050. With the use of Eq. (7.23), calculate a. The reflected shock wave velocity relative to the tube b. The pressure and temperature behind the reflected shock
