Lecture
Straight Shocks - Pitot Tube in Supersonic Flow
Description
This lecture covers the application of straight shocks in supersonic flow, focusing on the use of a Pitot tube. Topics include determining total and static pressures, mass conservation, isentropic relationships, and methods to calculate local Mach number. The presentation also discusses the shock wave in front of the Pitot tube, the Rayleigh formula, and practical methods for measuring static pressure in a supersonic wind tunnel.
