The hydrogen gas of question one passes through a pipe network and now has a static pressure of 1 atmosphere, temperature of 293 K and a Mach number of 1.7. Let ? = 1.4. It then encounters a normal shock wave. What is the temperature, pressure and Mach number downstream of the shock wave?
Given data,
Pressure (P) = 1 atm, Temperature (T) = 293 K , Mach Number (M) = 1.7, r = 1.4
Now, As we know the Normal shock wave equation for downstream of the shock wave,
1. Pressure
Pd = P * [ ( 2*r*M2 - r +1 )/ (r +1) ]
= 1 * [ ( 2*1.4*1.7*1.7 - 1.4 +1)/ (1.4 + 1) ]
= 7.692/2.4
Pd = 3.205 atm
2. Temperature
Td = T * [ Pd*{( r - 1)M2 + 2 }/ (r + 1)M2 ]
= 293 * [ 3.205*{(1.4 - 1)*1.7*1.7 + 2 }/ (2.4*1.7*1.7) ]
= 2963.695/6.936
Td = 427.293 K
3. Mach Number
Md = {( r - 1)M2 + 2 }/ ( 2*r*M2 - r +1 )
= 3.156/7.692
Md = 0.41
