1. Teen conservation laws (first principles)

Shock ke aas-paas ek control volume lo. State 1 = upstream (supersonic), state 2 = downstream (subsonic). Steady, 1-D, adiabatic, koi area change nahi, CV walls par koi friction work nahi.

Ye teen kyun? Mass create nahi ho sakta, momentum sirf net force se change hota hai (yahan pressure difference), aur energy conserved hai kyunki koi heat add nahi hui aur shock koi shaft work nahi karta. Paanch unknowns () hain, aur ye laws + equation of state system ko close karte hain.


2. Downstream Mach number derive karna (master result)

Sab kuch Mach number ke terms mein sabse saaf hota hai. , use karo, toh .

Step A — momentum (2) rewrite karo: Kuch divide mat karo, bas substitute karo: P_1(1+\gamma M_1^2) = P_2(1+\gamma M_2^2)\;\Rightarrow\; \frac{P_2}{P_1}=\frac{1+\gamma M_1^2}{1+\gamma M_2^2}\tag{4} Yeh step kyun? Momentum balance ko Mach numbers mein pure pressure ratio mein convert karta hai.

Step B — energy (3) rewrite karo: Stagnation temperature conserved hai, toh: \frac{T_2}{T_1}=\frac{1+\frac{\gamma-1}{2}M_1^2}{1+\frac{\gamma-1}{2}M_2^2}\tag{5} Yeh step kyun? Energy conservation directly temperature ratio deta hai jab hum dono Mach numbers jaante hain.

Step C — mass (1) rewrite karo: . State 1 = state 2 set karo: \frac{P_1 M_1}{\sqrt{T_1}}=\frac{P_2 M_2}{\sqrt{T_2}}\tag{6}

Step D — combine karo. (4) aur (5) ko (6) mein daalo. Algebra ke baad (square karo taaki roots khatam ho jaayein) aur ratios collapse ho jaate hain ek single equation mein jo aur relate karta hai, jiska non-trivial root hai:

Yeh kyun beautiful hai: sirf aur sirf par depend karta hai. Trivial root "no shock" solution hai; equation (7) actual shock branch hai. Kisi bhi ke liye, equation (7) deta hai — supersonic hamesha subsonic ban jaata hai.


3. Property ratios (sab ke terms mein)

(7) ko wapas (4), (5) mein substitute karo, density ke liye mass use karo. Jab tak note na ho, maano.


4. Stagnation pressure loss — entropy ka fingerprint

conserved hai (adiabatic), lekin NAHI — yeh girta hai kyunki entropy badhti hai. Ideal gas ke entropy change se, aur se:

Kyunki sabhi ke liye, hamesha. Yeh loss engineer ka dushman hai: ek supersonic inlet mein, ek strong normal shock stagnation pressure ko barbad kar deta hai, engine thrust ko nuksan pahunchata hai. (Isliye kai weak oblique shocks prefer kiye jaate hain.)

6. Common mistakes (Steel-man + fix)


Recall Feynman: 12-saal ke bachche ko samjhao

Socho tum itna tez daudo ki hawa timely raasta nahi de sakti. Tumhare aage ek super-patli, super-squished hawa ki diwar ban jaati hai. Us diwar ko cross karte waqt, ek pal mein hawa hotter, bhaari, zyada pressure wali, aur sound se slower ho jaati hai. Energy save rehti hai (kuch jalaya nahi jaata), lekin squishing messy aur wasteful hai — tum ise kabhi perfectly un-squish nahi kar sakte. Woh "wasted neatness" hi reason hai ki hawa ki push-power (stagnation pressure) kyun girti hai, bhale hi uski total energy (stagnation temperature) same rehti hai.


Flashcards

Normal shock ke paar kya conserved hota hai?
Stagnation enthalpy / temperature (adiabatic), saath mein mass, momentum, energy. Entropy NAHI, stagnation pressure NAHI.
Normal shock isentropic kyun nahi hota?
Yeh irreversible hai; entropy badhti hai (), isliye isentropic relations iske paar use nahi ho sakte.

kyun hota hai?
Kyunki hai, aur .

Kya normal shock subsonic flow mein ho sakta hai?
Nahi — iske liye chahiye hoga, jo 2nd law violate karta hai. zaroori hai.
