Module 6 : Unsteady Wave Motion
ASSIGNMENTS
1. If the moving shock Mach number is 1.5 then calculate the driven to driven pressure ratio and also the pressure across this
primary shock wave for air as driver and driven gas.
2. Use any monoatomic, diatomic and triatomic gases as driver gases for air as driven gas and comment your observation.
3. A shock tube operates with helium driver of pressure 25 bar and 300 K temperature and air as driven gas with 0.1 bar
pressure and 300 K temperature. Calculate the properties behind reflected shock.
4. A shock tube operates with helium driver of pressure 25 bar and 300 K temperature and air as driven gas with 0.1 bar
pressure and 300 K temperature. Evaluate primary shock numbers if driver gas temperature is raised in the steps of 100 K till
700K.
