What is the giveaway the region 4 is rayleigh flow
Relevant Equations
from given question i can see there is an oblique shock then normal shock then isentropic expansion. what follows is rayleigh flow. what tells me that from question attached
answering part c

According to these links, the lack of friction and the heat from combustion in region 4 should be the giveaway:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_flow

"Rayleigh flow refers to frictionless, non-adiabatic flow through a constant area duct where the effect of heat addition or rejection is considered."

"Fanno flow is the adiabatic flow through a constant area duct where the effect of friction is considered."
