Air enters a constant-area duct with a Mach number of 1.

6, a temperature of 200 K,
and a pressure of 0.56 bar. After some heat transfer a normal shock occurs, where
upon the area is reduced as shown. At the exit, the Mach number is found to be 1.0
and the pressure is 1.20 bar. Compute the amount of heat transfer.

At M4 = 1.0 Using Table C

p4/pt4 = 0.528,

pt4 = 1.2/0.528 = 2.27 bar

pt4 = pt3 (due to isentropic conditions)

At M1 = 1.6 p1/pt1 = 0.235 (using Table C)

Using Table G
pt1/pt* = 1.176
Even though shock occurs between 2-3 and heat transfer is only from 1-2, since
processes 1-2-3 are on same Rayleigh line, we get

At pt3/pt* = 1.122 using Table G M3 = 0.48

From Table D, M2 = 2.91

From Table C, At M1 = 1.6 T1/Tt1 = 0.66, Tt1 = 200/0.66 = 303 K

Using Table G

At M1 = 1.6 Tt1/Tt*=0.884, M2 = 2.91, Tt2/Tt* = 0.6625

Tt* = 342.7

Tt2 = 227 K

Q = cp(Tt2-Tt1) = -76 kJ/kg


At M1 = 0.50 Using Table C

p1/pt1 = 0.843 T1/Tt1 = 0.9524

As given p1 = 200 kPa, T1 = 300 K

pt1 = 200/0.843 = 237 kPa & Tt1 = 300/0.9524 = 315 K

After calculating area from diameter substitute in (1)

m = 0.57 kg/s

From Table F

p1/p* t = 1.69 , p* t = 200/1.69 = 118.3 kPa


From Table F

M2 = 0.68

p2/p* t = 1.243, p2 = 118.3 x 1.243 = 147 kPa

I1 = p1A(1+γM12) = 339.3 N

At M1 = 0.5

I1/I* t = 1.14, I* t = 297.4 N

At M2 = 0.68

I2/I* t = 1.024, I2 = 304.5 N

Ff = I2 - I1= - 34.8 N

T2/Tt2 = 0.9153, Tt2 = 327.8 K

Q = mcp(Tt2-Tt1) = 6.52 kW
Air flowing at 60 kPa, 240 K, and a Mach number of 3.4 impinges on a two-
dimensional wedge of half-angle 12°. Determine the two possible oblique shock
angles, βweak and βstrong, that could be formed by this wedge.
For each case, calculate the pressure, temperature, and Mach number
downstream of the oblique shock.

From θ, β and M Chart


βweak = 27o M1n = M1sinβ = 1.53
βstrong = 86o M1n = M1sinβ = 3.39
Using Table D
(weak shock)

M2n =0.69

M2 = M2n / sin(βweak-θ) = 2.7

p2 = 2.56 x 60 ≈ 150 kPa


T2 = 240 x 1.34 =

(strong shock)

M2n = 0.46

M2 = M2n / sin(βstrong - θ) = 0.48

p2 = 13.24 x 60 ≈ 800 kPa


T2= 3.167 x 240 = …..
