Downstream Velocity using Prandtl Relation Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Velocity Downstream of Shock = (Critical Speed of Sound^2)/Velocity Upstream of Shock
V₂ = (a_cr^2)/V₁
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Velocity Downstream of Shock - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity Downstream of Shock is the velocity of flow behind the shock wave.
Critical Speed of Sound - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Critical Speed of Sound is defined as the speed of sound at critical conditions in fluid flow.
Velocity Upstream of Shock - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity Upstream of Shock is the velocity of flow ahead of the shock wave.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Critical Speed of Sound: 79.741 Meter per Second --> 79.741 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Velocity Upstream of Shock: 80.134 Meter per Second --> 80.134 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V₂ = (a_cr^2)/V₁ --> (79.741^2)/80.134

Evaluating ... ...

V₂ = 79.3499273841316

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

79.3499273841316 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

79.3499273841316 ≈ 79.34993 Meter per Second <-- Velocity Downstream of Shock
