Normal and oblique shocks
In wannabes Rowley UK has posed a question, from ATPL exam feedback. It is:
When comparing a normal and an oblique shockwave, the normal shockwave:
A) has a higher total pressure
B) has a higher total temperature
C) has a lower static pressure
D) has a lower total pressure
I've brought it over here where all the experts are. My guess is that at the same Mfs the normal shock is going to have a higher pressure and temperature rise, so the answer is both A and B.
Help.
