This set of Thermodynamics Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Normal Shocks”.
1. Shock waves are highly localized irreversiblities in flow.
a) true
b) false
View Answer
Explanation: This is a basic fact about shock waves.
2. Normal shocks can be treated as shock waves parallel to the flow.
a) true
b) false
View Answer
Explanation: Normal shocks can be treated as shock waves perpendicular to the flow.
3.Within the mean free path of molecule, flow passes from
a) supersonic state
b) subsonic state
c) subsonic to supersonic state
d) supersonic to subsonic state
View Answer
Explanation: This happens within distance of mean free path of molecule.
4. When flow passes from supersonic to subsonic state,
a) pressure increases
b) velocity decreases
c) both of the mentioned
d) all of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: As velocity decreases, pressure increases.
5. The impulse function is given by
a) F = p*A + (density)*A*(V2)
b) F = p*A + (density)*A*V
c) F = p*A + (density)*A*sqrt(V)
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: This is the impulse function.
6. Fanno line represents the locus of points with same mass velocity and stagnation enthalpy.
a) true
b) false
View Answer
Explanation: The Fanno line can be represented on h-v coordinate or h-(1/density) coordinate.
7. The end states of normal shock must ____ Fanno line.
a) lie below
b) lie above
c) lie on
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: They must lie on the Fanno line.
8. Which of the following is true about adiabatic flow in constant area duct with friction?
a) it has constant G
b) it has constant ho
c) it follows Fanno line
d) all of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: This is true for adiabatic flow in one directional model.
9. The impulse pressure(I) is given by
a) F/A
b) p + (density)(V2)
c) p + (G2)/(density)
d) all of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: These all are the relations of impulse pressure.
10. Rayleigh line represents the locus of states with same impulse pressure and mass velocity.
a) true
b) false
View Answer
Explanation: The end states of normal shock must lie on Rayleigh line also.
