Which is not true for continuity equation of normal shock?(a) ρ1u1A1=ρ2u2A2(b) ρ1u1=ρ2u2(c) Steady flow(d) No viscosityThis question was posed to me in semester exam.This is a very interesting question from The Basic Normal Shock Equations in division Normal Shock Waves of Aerodynamics

Answer»

Right option is (B) ρ1u1=ρ2u2

The EXPLANATION: The continuity equation of the normal shock equation is DERIVED from the continuity equation of mass and is given as ρ1u1A1=ρ2u2A2. If the area of the control volume is same on both sides, it becomes ρ1u1=ρ2u2. The flow is steady and WITHOUT viscosity.
