How is total enthalpy related in a stationary shock wave?(a) Constant(b) h2 > h1(c) h2 < h1(d) h02 < h01I have been asked this question in final exam.Question is taken from Moving Normal Shock Waves topic in section Unsteady Wave Motion of Aerodynamics

Answer»

Right choice is (a) Constant

Explanation: For a stationary SHOCK WAVE, the total enthalpy remains constant across the shock wave which means that h02 = h01. Although, in CASE of moving shock wave, this is not the case. The enthalpy does not remain constant across the shock.
