Discussion
Assertion (A): A supersonic intake is built to compress the flow through several weak oblique shocks.
Reason (R): Entropy rise across a weak shock varies as the cube of its strength.
Select the correct answer from the options below.
Answer: C
Both statements are true and the second is the reason for the first. Because the loss grows so steeply with strength, splitting a compression among several weak shocks costs far less stagnation pressure than one strong shock achieving the same thing. Recovered stagnation pressure translates directly into engine thrust.
