1.

Prandtl relation can also be expressed in terms of characteristic Mach number as 1=M\(_1^*\)M\(_2^*\).(a) True(b) FalseI got this question in an internship interview.My doubt is from Flow Compressible topic in chapter Normal Shock Waves of Aerodynamics

Answer»

Correct OPTION is (a) True

To explain: The Prandtl relation is given as a^*2=u1u2 while the characteristic Mach NUMBER is given as M*=\(\frac {u}{a^{*}}\). So, PUTTING this into the Prandtl relation we GET the equation 1=M\(_1^*\)M\(_2^*\) where M\(_1^*\) and M\(_2^*\) are the characteristic Mach number UPSTREAM and downstream of the normal shock.
