Title: Calculation of Hugoniot values from atomic properties

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5970176· OSTI ID:5970176

A relatively simple equation is presented for use in calculating the Hugoniot values of any condensed element from its atomic weight, atomic radius, and density. Calculations from the equation are compared with data for many elements, and a discussion of the development and utility of the equation is included. The equation also appears to be useful for the gaseous elements when they are in condensed phases. 19 refs., 12 figs., 9 tabs.
