Your job is to operate the two-throat supersonic wind tunnel shown below. The air (=1.

4) tunnel is
designed to operate at M=2.5 in the test section. Interestingly, when you operate it you find that normal
shocks appear downstream of both throats.

(a) Explain in words under what conditions this can happen (2 points).

(b) The tunnel exhausts to atmospheric pressure, the throat area ratio is At2/At1=1.6, and the second
shock sits at a location where the area ratio is Ashock/At2=1.4. Determine P0.
