Abstract
A set of new gasdynamic functions with varying specific heat are derived for the first time. An original analytical solution of normal shock waves is worked out therewith. This solution is thereafter further improved by not involving total temperature. Illustrative examples of comparison are given, including also some approximate solutions to show the orders of their errors.
