| By the end of this unit, you
should be able to: |
| 1 |
Explain the
differences between a stationary and a moving normal shock, steady and
unsteady wave motion. |
| 2 |
Calculate the
flow conditions in a shock tube behind the incident and the reflected
shock waves. |
| 3 |
Calculate the
speed of the incident and the reflected shock waves in a shock tube. |
| 4 |
Design a shock
tunnel to achieve supersonic flow of a given Mach number in the test
section (i.e., select appropriate driver and driven gases, diaphragm
pressure ratio, etc). |
