The stagnation temperature in an airflow is 149°C upstream and downstream from a normal shock wave. The absolute stagnation pressure downstream from the shock wave is 229.5 kPa. Through the wave the absolute pressure rises from 103.4 to 138 kPa. Determine the velocities upstream and downstream from the wave.

- Air flowing steadily in a nozzle experiences a normal shock at a Mach number of Ma = 2.6. The pressure and temperature of air are 52 kPa and 270 K, respectively. Now, helium undergoes a normal shock under the same conditions. Calculate the entropy changes of air and helium across the normal shock.
