Problem 1: A stationary, normal shock stands in the diverging section of a converging-diverging nozzle. The Mach number immediately upstream of the shock is 3.0. The nozzle area at the shock is A1=500mm2. A reservoir supplies the nozzle with air at 1100 kPa at 400 K . Calculate the following:
a. Mach number, stagnation pressure (kPa) and static pressure (kPa) after the shock
b. percentage loss in stagnation pressure due to the shock
c. nozzle throat area (mm2)
d. entropy change across the shock (kJkgK)
e. taking the nozzle exit area to be A3=600mm2, calculate the exit Mach number, M3
f. considering the result calculated in (d), discuss whether the actual exit Mach number is higher, lower, or the same
Sketch the process on a Ts diagram that includes all static and stagnation states.
