where Φ is the gravitational potential and b a constant.
Assuming that the gravitational potential is the same on both sides, determine how the constant b changes at the shock front.
Explain whether Bernoulli’s law can be applied across shock fronts.

Answer:
Bartleby policy allows me to answers only three question
Ans a
Stationary Flow
A flow in which the velocity of the fluid at a particular fixed point does not change with time means
This is known as stationary flow
Polytropic Gas
A gas is called polytropic gas if it obeys the polytropic thermodynamic process means
Specific Entropy
It is the total energy in the system due to pressure and temperature per unit of mass in that system.
Application
It is used in thermodynamics equation when one wants to know that energy for a given single unit of mass of the substance
SI unit of specific enthalpy is KJ/Kg.
Ans b
Show with the Rankine-Hugoniot conditions that the change in specific enthalpy is given by:
First, Let derive an expression for (Vx,1)2 and (Vx,2)2
where 1 and 2 denote for initial and final states
Since,
Similarly,
From 1 and 2
Now, derivation of the Rankin relation energy equation and ideal gas law
Now, substitute momentum equation 3 into the energy equation 4. we get
This is the final Rankine-Hugoniot releation
Ans d
since at shock first, we already see that in the derivation of Rankine equation. That there is conservation of mass, momentum, and energy
Therefore, we derived 4 equations for the momentum equation which is the Bernoulli equation.
