Program the normal shock relations (Matlab, Excel, computer programming language of your choice,). Plot M 2 , p2 p1 , T2 T1 , po 2 po1 on a log-linear plot for 1 ! M1 ! 5 for:

! = 5/3 (monatomic gas); ! = 1.2 (reasonable value for a high temperature propellant in a rocket engine)
At M1 = 3, plot M 2 , p2 p1 , T2 T1 , po 2 po1 for 1.1 " ! " 5 3 A steady normal shock wave occurs in an air flow at a point where the velocity is 680 m/s, the static pressure is 100 kPa, and the static temperature is 50C. Calculate the velocity, and static pressure and temperature downstream of the shock. Also calculate the stagnation pressure and temperature upstream and downstream of the shock (as measured in the reference frame where the velocity measurement was 680 m/s). Hydrogen gas (molar mass 2 kg/kmol, ! = 1.40) is flowing in a duct at a velocity of 300 m/s and a static pressure and temperature of 500 kPa and 250 K. A gate valve suddenly closes the duct. Calculate the velocity of the shock wave generated, and the pressure and temperature of the gas after it is brought to rest by the shock. Compare these values to the stagnation pressure and temperature of the gas in the flow before it is stopped. A shock is moving at Mach 5 into air at rest at p1 = 20 kPa and T1 = 290 K in a shock tube. The shock compresses the gas, and then reflects off the end of the shock tube. As it encounters the moving gas behind the incident shock, it compresses it again as it brings it to rest. Assuming plane normal shock waves, and perfect gas behavior, compute the pressure and temperature (p3, T3) of the air behind the reflected shock.
