5) Define (i) Zone of action (ii) Zone of silence (iii) Mach Waves (or) Mach lines.
Region inside the mach cone – zone of action
Region outside the cone – zone of silence
The lines at which the pressure disturbance is concentrated and which generate
the cone are called as mach waves or mach lines.
7) How velocity of the flow varies in convergent and divergent ducts for subsonic and
supersonic condition.
velocity Subsonic Supersonic
2) Write the Hugoniot equation and explain each terms involved in it.
𝑃1 + 𝑃2
𝑒2− 𝑒1 = (𝜗2 − 𝜗1 )
2
3) What is meant by shock tube?
It is a device to produce high speed flow with high temperatures, by traversing
normal shock waves which are generated by the rupture of a diaphragm
separating a high pressure gas from the low pressure gas.
Supersonic flow over the compression Supersonic flow over the expansion corner
corner produces shock waves produces expansion waves.
6) Give the relation between Shock angle (), Mach number and Flow deflection angle ().
𝑀1 2 𝑠𝑖𝑛2 𝛽 − 1
tan 𝜃 = 2 𝑐𝑜𝑡 𝛽 ( 2 )
𝑀1 (𝛾 + cos 2𝛽) + 2
7) What is meant by Shock Polar?
Shock polar is the graphical representation of the oblique shock properties.
2) Distinguish between Lower Critical Mach number and Upper Critical Mach number.
The free stream Mach number for which the entire flow around the body is
subsonic is called the lower critical Mach number.
The free stream Mach number for which the entire flow around the body is
supersonic is called the upper critical Mach number.
