(b) For shock at A3, we have from part (a) A3/A1 = A3/A* = 2.411. Using this area
ratio, we can find the Mach number on the upstream side of the shock, i.e.,
Problem 10. – For the system shown in Figure P4.10, Mi = 2.0, Ai = 20 cm2, throat area =
15 cm2, shock area = 22 cm2, and exit area = 25 cm2. With the working fluid behaving as
a perfect gas with constant γ = 1.3, find the following:
(a) Throat Mach number
(b) Exit Mach number
(c) Ratio of exit static pressure to static pressure at i
