Consider an oblique shock wave with a wave angle of 35 o . Upstream of the wave, the static pressure and temperature are 2,000 lbf/ft2 and 520oR, respectively. The air velocity is 3,355 ft/s. Calculate the pressure, temperature, velocity and flow deflection angle behind the wave.

The pressure is 6570  lbf/ft²

The temperature is 766 ⁰R

The velocity is 2746.7 ft/s

deflection angle behind the wave is 17.56⁰

Explanation:

Speed of air at initial condition:

γ is the ratio of specific heat, R is the universal gas constant, and T is the initial temperature.

initial mach number

then,

based on the values obtained, read off the following from table;

P₂/P₁ = 3.285

T₂/T₁ = 1.473

Mₙ₂ = 0.6355

Thus;

P₂ = 3.285P₁ = 3.285(2000) = 6570  lbf/ft²

T₂ = 1.473T₁ = 1.473(520⁰R) = 766 ⁰R

Again; to determine the velocity and deflection angle, first we calculate the mach number.
