Question
At some point for air flow in a duct, $p=20$ psia, $T=500^{\circ} \mathrm{R}$ and $V=500 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}$. Can a normal shock occur at this point?
Step 1
We can do this using the formula $T_{F} = T_{R} - 459.67$. Substituting the given value of $T_{R} = 500^{\circ} \mathrm{R}$, we get \[T_{F} = 500 - 459.67 = 40.33^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\] Show more…

A normal shock is positioned in the diverging portion of a frictionless, adiabatic, converging-diverging air flow duct where the cross-sectional area is $0.1 \mathrm{ft}^{2}$ and the local Mach number is 2.0. Upstream of the shock, $p_{0}=200$ psia and $T_{0}=1200^{\circ} \mathrm{R}$ If the duct exit area is $0.15 \mathrm{ft}^{2}$, determine the exit area temperature and pressure and the duct mass flowrate.
A normal shock occurs in air at a section where $V_{1}=$ $2000 \mathrm{mph}, T_{1}=-15^{\circ} \mathrm{F},$ and $p_{1}=5$ psia. Determine the speed and Mach number downstream from the shock, and the change in stagnation pressure across the shock.
