Applied Supersonic Aerodynamics Assignment 3
Answer problems 7.3, 7.4, and 7.5. under chapter 7 (Fundamentals of Aerodynamics by John
Anderson of any edition).

 7.3 Just upstream of a shock wave, the air temperature and pressure are 288 K and 1 atm,
respectively; just downstream of the wave, the air temperature and pressure are 690 K and
8.656 atm, respectively. Calculate the changes in enthalpy, internal energy, and entropy
across the wave.
Solution:
𝑇2 𝑝2
Δ𝑠 = 𝑐𝑝 ln − 𝑅 ln
𝑇1 𝑝1

Δ𝑠 = (1004.5 𝐽⁄𝑘𝑔 ∙ 𝐾 ) ln − (287 𝐽⁄𝑘𝑔 ∙ 𝐾 ) ln

𝚫𝒔 = (𝟐𝟓𝟖. 𝟐𝟒 𝑱⁄𝒌𝒈 ∙ 𝑲)

Δ𝑒 = 𝑐𝑣 (𝑇2 − 𝑇1 )

Δ𝑒 = (717.5 𝐽⁄𝑘𝑔 ∙ 𝐾 ) (690 𝐾 − 288 𝐾)

𝚫𝒆 = (𝟐. 𝟖𝟖𝟒𝟑𝟓 × 𝟏𝟎𝟓 𝑱⁄𝒌𝒈)

Δℎ = 𝑐𝑝 (𝑇2 − 𝑇1 )

Δℎ = (1004.5 𝐽⁄𝑘𝑔 ∙ 𝐾 ) (690 𝐾 − 288 𝐾 )

𝚫𝒉 = (𝟒. 𝟎𝟑𝟖𝟎𝟗 × 𝟏𝟎𝟓 𝑱⁄𝒌𝒈)

 7.4 Consider the isentropic flow over an airfoil. The freestream conditions are T∞ = 245 K
and p∞ = 4.35 × 104 N/m2. At a point on the airfoil, the pressure is 3.6 × 104 N/m2.
Calculate the density at this point.

 7.5 Consider the isentropic flow through a supersonic wind-tunnel nozzle. The reservoir
properties are T0 = 500 K and p0 = 10 atm. If p = 1 atm at the nozzle exit, calculate the
exit temperature and density.
