Match each normal shock quantity at \( M_1 = 2 \) in List I with its value in List II.

List I

A. Downstream Mach number

B. Static pressure ratio

C. Density ratio

D. Stagnation pressure ratio

List II

1. 4.50

2. 0.577

3. 0.721

4. 2.67

Select the correct match.

  • A.A-1, B-2, C-4, D-3
  • B.A-2, B-4, C-1, D-3
  • C.A-3, B-1, C-4, D-2
  • D.A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3

Answer: D

These four numbers are worth memorising together, since Mach 2 is the standard worked example. The pressure has more than quadrupled, the density has not quite tripled, the flow has been taken well subsonic, and more than a quarter of the stagnation pressure has been destroyed.
