For a calorically perfect gas, the ratio of stagnation to static temperature depends upon_______(a) γ(b) γ , M(c) M(d) R, MThis question was addressed to me in examination.This intriguing question originated from The Basic Normal Shock Equations topic in section Normal Shock Waves of Aerodynamics

Answer»

The correct ANSWER is (b) γ , M

For EXPLANATION: The stagnation and static temperatures for a calorically perfect gas are related with the equation \(\FRAC {T_0}{T}\)=1+\(\frac {\gamma -1}{2}\)M^2. Thus, it is CLEARLY SEEN that this ratio depends on the gamma and the Mach number in the medium. It’s a very important relationship.
