A stream at \( M_1 = 2 \) and \( 50 \) kPa passes through a normal shock. The downstream static pressure is

  • A.225 kPa
  • B.125 kPa
  • C.300 kPa
  • D.175 kPa

Answer: A

The pressure ratio at Mach 2 is 4.5, so \( 50 \times 4.5 = 225 \) kPa. This abrupt jump across a vanishingly thin front is what makes shock waves so destructive structurally and what a supersonic intake must manage rather than simply endure.
