The correct statement for a point where the speed of sound is a, is_______(a) a* is the stagnation speed of sound(b) a* is the maximum speed of sound(c) a0 is the characteristic speed of sound(d) a0 is the stagnation speed of soundI got this question during an internship interview.The doubt is from The Basic Normal Shock Equations topic in section Normal Shock Waves of Aerodynamics

Answer»

The CORRECT ANSWER is (d) a0 is the STAGNATION speed of sound

For explanation: For a point in the FLOW, where the speed of sound is a, a0 is the stagnation speed of sound associated with that point. While a* is the sonic characteristic value associated with that same point. None of these is the maximum speed of sound in the flow.
