Question
Problem 3. A Pitot tube is placed in a supersonic wind tunnel where the temperature is T = 300 K and the
Mach number is Max = 2.0. A normal shock stands in front of the probe. Behind the shock, the pressure jumps
to py = 40 kPa. (a) Find the pressure, velocity, and density upstream of the shock. (b) Find the stagnation
temperature and stagnation pressure before and after the shock. (c) Show static and stagnation points and
process path on a T-s diagram and briefly describe the process.
