For the same mach number and half angle
The shock is closer to a cone
The shock is closer to a wedge
They are the same
Across an expansion, total pressure
Increases
Decreases
Stays the same (it's isentropic!)
For supersonic flow, as the cross sectional area decreases, Mach number:
Increases
Decreases
What is the significance of A/A*
It's the ratio between current and maximum area
It's the ratio between the inlet and exit
It's the ratio between a given area and the area that would result in choked (M=1) flow
What is the relationship between velocity and density
As one increases, the other increases always
As one increases, the other decreases for supersonic flow only
As one increases, the other decreases always
