Question

Which of these is incorrect for the normal shock wave analysis?

(a) No viscous effects or body forces

(b) Adiabatic flow

(c) Differential form of conservation equations used

(d) Steady flow

I got this question in homework.

I want to ask this question from The Basic Normal Shock Equations topic in section Normal Shock Waves of Aerodynamics

Answer 1

The correct answer is (c) Differential form of conservation equations used

The explanation: The normal shock wave analysis uses the control volume approach. The integral form of conservation equations are applied to the control volume. The flow is steady, adiabatic, without viscous effects and zero body forces.
