Question: An external - compression supersonic inlet with a single ramp operates in critical mode as shown. The flight speed is 7 5 0 m s

An external-compression supersonic inlet with a single ramp operates in critical mode as shown. The flight speed is 750msec where the ambient air (static) temperature and pressure are 224 K and 20 kPa respectively.
Neglect all losses except those occurring due to shocks. Also, use =1.4 and Rair=287m2s2(K) for this problem.
(a) Calculate inlet total pressure recovery due to shocks. In other words, what is the stagnation pressure ratio, p02p000=?(show or explain your work)
(b) Estimate the inlet adiabatic efficiency for this case. In other words, what is d=?
An external - compression supersonic inlet with a
