Assignment #6

This document outlines homework assignments for a compressible fluid flow course. It includes 4 problems to solve relating to shock waves and supersonic flow. Problem 1 involves calculating the angle of a reflected shock wave. Problem 2 involves calculating properties downstream of a reflected shock wave. Problem 3 compares the total pressures behind a normal shock and an oblique shock followed by a normal shock. Problem 4 involves calculating pressures and a flow direction using properties of intersecting shock waves. The homework is due on March 20, 2017.

Homework Assignments

ME 4330/6330 Compressible Fluid Flow


WRIGHT STATE UNIVERSITY
Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering

All problems are worth 10 points apiece. If specific parts of the problems are listed, just do those parts. For example
1-8a,b means to do only parts a and b and not part c. If just the problem number is listed, for example 1.8, do the
entire problem. For example 1-8 means do parts a, b, c, d, e, and f.

Required problems for ME4330 & ME6330


1. A supersonic stream at M 1=3.6 flows past a compression corner with a deflection angle of 20 .
The incident shock wave is reflected from an opposite wall which is parallel to the upstream supersonic
flow, as sketched in the Fig. 4.18 in the Textbook. Calculate the angle of the reflected shock relative to the
straight wall. (Anderson 4.6, Answer: =24.5 )

2. In incident shock wave with wave angle 30 impinges on a straight wall. If the upstream flow
properties are M 1=2.8 , p1=1 atm , and T 1 =300 K , calculate the pressure, temperature,
Mach number, and total pressure downstream of the reflected wave. (Anderson 4.7, Answer:
M 3=1.87 , p3=3 .9 5 6 atm, T 3 =453.3 K , po 3=25.1 atm)

3. Consider a streamline with the properties M 1=4.0 , and p1=1 atm . Consider also the following
two different shock structures encountered by such a streamline: (a) a single normal shock wave, and (b) an
oblique shock with =40 , followed by a normal shock. Calculate and compare the total pressure
behind the shock structure of each (a) and (b) above. From this comparison, can you deduce a general
principle concerning the efficiency of a single normal shock in relation to an oblique shock plus normal
shock in decelerating a supersonic flow to subsonic speeds (which, for example, is the purpose of an inlet
of a conventional jet engine)? (Anderson 4.8 Answer: po 2=21 . 07 atm , p 03=46.93 atm )

Required problems for ME6330


4. Consider the intersection of two shocks of opposite families, as sketched in Fig. 4.23. For M 1=3 .0 ,
and p 1 =3 atm , 2 =20 , and 3 =15 , calculate the pressure in regions 4 and 4, and the flow
direction , behind the refracted shocks. (Answer: p4 =8.3 atm , =4.5 )
