Conclusion:
Refer to Table A-33, “One-dimensional normal-shock functions for an ideal gas with k 5 1.4”, obtain the expressions of temperature ratio, pressure ratio, stagnation pressure ratio, and Mach number after the shock for a Mach number of 2.6 before the shock.
Thus, the Mach number value of air after the normal shock through the nozzle is
Here, actual pressure after the shock is
Substitute
