Is This the Correct Method for Solving a Condensation Shock Problem?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on solving a condensation shock problem using the Clausius-Clapeyron relation, ideal gas law, and isentropic flow principles. The user calculated the vapor pressure and total pressure based on a mixture with a total temperature of 600 K and a mass fraction of vapor at 0.01. The approach involved using humidity relations from a research paper and referencing isentropic flow tables to determine the area ratio. The user seeks validation of this method and clarification on the necessity of assuming static temperature values below stagnation temperature.

Homework Statement



Total temperature of mixture= 600 K, mass fraction of vapour to mass of total mixture=0.01

Homework Equations



Ideal gas law, Mach area relations, Rankine-hugoniot equations

The Attempt at a Solution


Applied Clausis-Clapeyron relation to find vapour pressure, Then found total pressure via humidity relation that I found from a research paper, Then found temperature from ideal gas law. Using total temperature and this temperature, from the isentropic flow table, found the area ratio.

Is this approach right? or is does it just have to do with assuming a value of static temperature below stagnation temp and proceeding with isentropic relations?
