Answer:
The angle for the forward Mach line is 19.47°
The angle for the rearward Mach line is 5.21°
Explanation:
From table A-1 (Modern Compressible Flow: with historical perspective):
[tex]\frac{P_{o} }{P_{1} } =36.73[/tex] (M₁ = 3)
If Po₁ = Po₂
[tex]\frac{P_{o2} }{P_{2} } =\frac{P_{o1} }{P_{1} } *\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} } =36.73*\frac{1}{4} =91.825[/tex]
Table A-1:
[tex]\frac{P_{o2} }{P_{2} } =91.825,M_{2} =3.63[/tex]
Table A-5:
v₁ = 49.76°
μ₁ = 19.47°
v₂ = 60.55°
μ₂ = 16°
θ = 60.55 - 49.76 = 10.79°
The angle for the forward Mach line is:
μ₁ = 19.47°
The angle for the rearward Mach line is:
θr = μ₂ - θ = 16 - 10.79 = 5.21°
