Across a normal shock wave in a steady flow, the stagnation temperature
Answer: C
A shock is adiabatic, so the total energy and with it the stagnation temperature are unchanged. It is strongly irreversible, however, so entropy rises and stagnation pressure drops. That loss of stagnation pressure is the real cost of a shock and the reason supersonic intakes are designed to avoid strong ones.
