1. Consider a wedge with a half-angle of 10◦ flying at Mach 2. Calculate the ratio of total
pressures across the shock wave emanating from the leading edge of the wedge.

2. In the flow past a compression corner, the upstream Mach number and pressure are 3.5
and 1 atm respectively. Downstream of the corner, the pressure is 5.48 atm. Calculate the
deflection angle of the corner.

3. An incident shock wave with wave angle =30◦ impinges on a straight wall. If the
upstream flow properties are M1=2.8, p1=1 atm, and T1=300 K, calculate the pressure,
temperature, Mach number, and total pressure downstream of the reflected wave.

4. Consider a supersonic flow with an upstream Mach number of 4 and pressure of 1 atm.
This flow is first expanded around an expansion corner with θ = 15 o , and then compressed
through a compression corner with equal angle so that it is returned to its original upstream
direction. Calculate the Mach number and the pressure downstream of the compression
corner.

5. For a given Prandtl-Mayer expansion, the upstream Mach number is 3 and the pressure
ratio across the wave is 0.4. Calculate the angels of the forward and rearward Mach lines
of the expansion fan relative to the free stream direction.

6. The mass flow of a calorically perfect as through a chocked nozzle is given by


γ +!
p A * γ ⎛ 2 ⎞ γ −1
m& = 0 ⎜ ⎟
T0 R ⎜⎝ γ + 1 ⎟⎠

Derive this relation.

7. Consider a supersonic nozzle with a Pitot tube mounted at the exit. The reservoir
pressure and temperature are 10 atm and 500 K. respectively. The pressure measured by the
Pitot tube is 0.6172 atm. The throat area is 0.3 m2. Calculate:
a) Exit Mach number.

b) Exit area.
c) Exit pressure and temperature
d) Mass flow through the nozzle.

8. Consider an oblique shock wave with M1=4.0 and β = 50 o . This shock wave is incident
on a constant pressure boundary. For the flow downstream of the reflected expansion wave,
calculate the Mach number and the flow direction relative to the flow upstream of the
shock.
