An oblique shock wave is generated at a compression corner having a deflection angle of 20^{^{\circ}}. The oblique shock wave is reflected from a straight horizontal wall which is present above the compression corner. The upstream flow properties are M_{1}=3.4,\,p_{1}=1\,atm,\,T_{1}=300\,K. Find the Mach number, pressure and temperature behind the reflected shock wave and angle made by the reflected shock wave with the upper wall.

Wave angle \beta _{1} can be obtained from the \theta\, -\beta\, – M diagram. For, deflection angle of 20^{^{\circ}} and Mach number M_{1} of 3.4, \beta _{1}=35^{^{\circ}}
Therefore,
M_{n1}=M_{1}Sin\beta _{1} = 3.4Sin35^{^{\circ}}=1.95
For a normal shock wave for M_{n1}=1.95,
\frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}}=4.27, \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}=1.6473 and M_{n2}=0.586
Therefore,
M_{2}=\frac{M_{n2}}{Sin\left ( \beta _{1}-\theta \right )}=\frac{0.586}{Sin\left ( 35^{^{\circ}}-20^{^{\circ}} \right )}=2.26
For the reflected shock, from \theta -\beta\, – M diagram, for M_{2}=2.26 and \theta = 20^{^{\circ}} , wave angle, \beta _{2}=46.75^{^{\circ}}
Therefore,
M_{n2}=M_{2}Sin\beta _{2} = 2.26Sin46.75^{^{\circ}}=1.65
For a normal shock wave, for M_{n2}=1.56
\frac{p_{3}}{p_{2}}=3.001, \frac{T_{3}}{T_{2}}=1.423 and M_{n3}=0.654
Therefore,
M_{3}=\frac{M_{n3}}{Sin\left ( \beta _{2}-\theta \right )}=\frac{0.654}{Sin\left ( 46.75^{\circ}-20^{\circ} \right )}=1.453
and p_{3}=\left ( \frac{p_{3}}{p_{2}} \right )\left ( \frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}} \right )\left ( p_{1} \right )=\left ( 3.001 \right )\left ( 4.27 \right )\left ( 1 \right )=12.814\,atm
and T_{3}=\left ( \frac{T_{3}}{T_{2}} \right )\left ( \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} \right )\left ( T_{1} \right )=\left ( 1.423 \right )\left ( 1.6473 \right )\left ( 300\,K \right )=703.23\,K
Angle made by the reflected shock wave with the upper wall = \beta _{2}-\theta =46.75^{\circ}-20^{\circ}=26.75^{\circ}
