In a stream at \( M_1 = 3 \), the smallest angle an oblique shock can make with the flow is nearest to

  • A.30.0 degrees
  • B.45.0 degrees
  • C.10.0 degrees
  • D.19.5 degrees

Answer: D

The limiting case is a vanishingly weak wave, whose angle is the Mach angle \( \mu = \arcsin(1/3) = 19.47 \) degrees. Any real oblique shock at this Mach number lies between that value and ninety degrees, the latter being the normal shock.
