If the shock-wave velocity in Problem 5-13 is approximated by the speed of sound, determine the pressure

Question:

If the shock-wave velocity in Problem 5-13 is approximated by the speed of sound, determine the pressure change causing a velocity change of 10 fps in
a. Air at standard conditions
b. Water


Data From Problem 5.13

The shock wave illustrated below is moving to the right at vw fps. The properties in front and in back of the shock are not a function of time. By using the illustrated control volume, show that the pressure difference across the shock is

P2 - P= p1 vw v2

P1 Uw P2 P1 P2 V1 = 0 U2
