Across a normal shock

  • A. static pressure and the static temperature rise
  • B. entropy remains constant
  • C. velocity and static pressure decrease
  • D. density and temperature decrease

Answer: A. static pressure and the static temperature rise

Explanation: Across a normal shock wave, flow goes from supersonic to subsonic. Static pressure, density, and temperature increase, while velocity decreases. Entropy increases.
