12. b. Show that the upper and lower branches of a Fanno curve represent subsonic and supersonic
flows respectively. Prove that at the maximum entropy point mach number is unity and all
processes approach this point. How would the state of a gas in a flow change from the supersonic
to subsonic branch?
13. a. Graphically explain the following property ratios for flow through oblique shock waves
a) Wave Angle b) Pressure ratio c) Stagnation Pressure loss d) Downstream Mach number
