Stagnation pressure and temperature probes are located on the nose of a supersonic aircraft. At 35,000 ft altitude a normal shock stands in front of the probes. The temperature probe indicates T0 = 420F behind the shock. Calculate the Mach number and air speed of the plane. Find the static and stagnation pressures behind the shock. Show the process and the static and stagnation state points on a Ts diagram.
