Question:

Consider the compression of air by means of \((a)\) shock compression and (b) isentropic compression. Starting from the same initial conditions of \(p_{1}\) and \(v_{1}\), plot to scale the \(p v\) diagrams for both compression processes on the same graph. From the comparison, what can you say about the effectiveness of shock versus isentropic compression?
