Problem 5 - Sparky is experimenting with using different fluids in a duct. Based on nitrous oxide gas as the working fluid the fluid conditions upstream of a normal shock are Mach Number of 4.0, temperature of 500°R, and pressure of 40 psia. Determine the Mach Number, temperature, pressure, and fluid velocity downstream of the shock. Note the figures in the textbook and textbook appendices are based on air, not nitrous oxide, and are not valid for this problem. Use k = 1.27 and R = 35.1 (ft-lb)/(lbm-°R) for nitrous oxide. Only use equations and table from the textbook to solve this problem.
