Estimate the supersonic mach number and velocity upstream


Discuss the below in detail:

Q: When a Pitot tube such as Fig is placed in a supersonic flow, a normal shock will stand in front of the probe. Suppose the probe reads p0 = 190 kPa and p = 150 kPa. If the stagnation temperature is 400 K, estimate the (supersonic) Mach number and velocity upstream of the shock.
