An expansion shock, across which pressure would fall discontinuously, is impossible because it would
Answer: C
The conservation equations admit an expansion discontinuity as a formal solution, but evaluating the entropy change across it gives a decrease, which the second law forbids. Expansions in supersonic flow must therefore be gradual, spread through a Prandtl-Meyer fan of Mach waves rather than concentrated into a single front.
