A supersonic stream at Ma; = 4.0 flows parallel to a wall and encounters a geometrical disturbance of
type A or B, as depicted below. Type A is an indentation and type B is a protrusion, both having the
same deflection angle «'= 20°. Determine which configuration (type A or type B) yiekds
1) the maximum decrease in static pressure, (P; — P)/P,
1b) the maximum decrease in stagnation pressure, (Fb; ~ Ph) Pox
«) the maximum exit Mach number, Mase
4) the minimum entropy increase, (5 ~ si}

Problem 2 (10 pts)
Shock tubes are typically used for studies of combustion chemical kinetics. In a shock tube, a
diaphragm separates high pressure inert gas from a lower-pressure, flammable gas mixture at temper-
ature 7; = 300K and pressure P; = 0.1 bar. At t= 0, the diaphragm is ruptured and the over-pressure
created by the inert gas produces a shock wave that propagates at Ma; = 2 into the reacting gaseous
mixture at rest. The reflection of the shock wave plays an important role in the ignition of the re-
factants. In the first approximation, however, neglect the combustion chemical processes in the shock
tube.
