Question 35
AENAT2 marksNeeds review
A strong normal shock wave, with a pressure ratio of 29 across it, is travelling into stationary air (
) at T = 280 K in a straight duct (see figure). The magnitude of the velocity of the air induced behind the shock wave is ____________ m/s. (round to nearest integer)(Gas constant = 287 J/kg.K; Shock wave relations:
Pressure ratio:
; Density ratio:
)
