Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a converging-diverging nozzle for a gas with a target exit Mach number of 2. Determine the area ratio required based on given inlet parameters.

💡 Hint: Review the principles of compressible flow and how area affects velocity.

Challenge 2 Hard

A normal shock occurs in a supersonic flow with initial conditions of M₁ = 2 and P₁ = 200 kPa. Analyze the downstream Mach number and pressure post-shock.

💡 Hint: Use the normal shock relations to transition from supersonic to subsonic conditions.
