On the Equation of State for Gases at Extremely High Pressure

Abstract

On the basis of the thermo‐hydrodynamic theory of the explosive detonation—developed by Chapman, Jouguet, and R. Becker—a procedure is developed permitting the deduction of the equation of state for gaseous mixtures from explosive processes. The equation is established by starting from several sets of experimental data. In this way one can semi‐empirically derive the equation of state for gases compressed up to 10⁴−10⁵ atmos. The results of numerical calculations are reported.
