Normal Shock Example Problem

Let's work through a normal shock problem together! In this video, we will be using four different ways of solving a simple normal shock problem. The four different methods we will be using can be found below (along with links which can be found in the RELEVANT LINKS section)

1) Equations derived in my Normal Shock Relations video
2) Compressible flow tables (only valid when gamma = 1.4)
3) Online VT Calculator
4) MATLAB functions based on VT Calculator

===== NOTES =====
► At around 5:54, I point to 1.4 in the Mach number column when I'm talking about the fact that the tables only work for gamma equal to 1.4. That's just where my finger happened to land on the page, and has nothing to do with what I'm talking about at the moment.
► I happened to pick a Mach number that had an entry in the table (method 2). If your Mach number isn't listed in the table, you'll have to interpolate between the two bounding Mach numbers. Check out my linear interpolation video in the links below. I also have a video on programming a linear interpolation solver on your graphing calculator, also in the links below.
