STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Entropy Change = Specific Gas Constant*ln(Stagnation Pressure Ahead of Normal Shock/Stagnation Pressure Behind Normal Shock)
ΔS = R*ln(p₀₁/p₀₂)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

ln - The natural logarithm, also known as the logarithm to the base e, is the inverse function of the natural exponential function., ln(Number)

Variables Used

Entropy Change - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram K) - Entropy Change of the system for an irreversible path is the same as for a reversible path between the same two states.
Specific Gas Constant - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram per K) - The Specific Gas Constant of a gas or a mixture of gases is given by the molar gas constant divided by the molar mass of the gas or mixture.
Stagnation Pressure Ahead of Normal Shock - (Measured in Pascal) - Stagnation Pressure Ahead of Normal Shock represents the total pressure of a fluid before encountering a normal shock wave.
Stagnation Pressure Behind Normal Shock - (Measured in Pascal) - Stagnation Pressure Behind Normal Shock is the stagnation or total or pitot pressure after passing through shock.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Specific Gas Constant: 287 Joule per Kilogram per K --> 287 Joule per Kilogram per K No Conversion Required
Stagnation Pressure Ahead of Normal Shock: 226.911 Pascal --> 226.911 Pascal No Conversion Required
