Textbook Solutions for Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach

Chapter 17 Problem 95P

Question

Problem 95P

Air flowing at 60 kPa, 240 K, and a Mach number of 3.4 impinges on a two-dimensional wedge of half-angle 8°. Determine the two possible oblique shock angles, βweak and βstrong, that could be formed by this wedge. For each case, calculate the pressure, temperature, and Mach number downstream of the oblique shock.

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 17 problem number 86 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Problem 95PAir flowing at 60 kPa, 240 K, and a Mach number of 3.4 impinges on a two-dimensional wedge of half-angle 8°. Determine the two possible oblique shock angles, βweak and βstrong, that could be formed by this wedge. For each case, calculate the pressure, temperature, and Mach number downstream of the oblique shock.
From the textbook chapter Compressible Flow you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
