5. Consider a Pitot probe in high-speed flow.
(a) Give the value of the stagnation pressure to the freestream pressure p0/p∞ for air
and M∞ = 1. Assume stagnation is reached isentropically.
(b) How is the value found in part (a) important for Pitot problems? As part of
your discussion, include what the flow field looks like for different cases and the
different assumptions that have to be made.
