Plate impact Hugoniot experiments on JP-10 jet fuel
Using gas-gun driven plate impact experiments, we have measured the Hugoniot of JP-10 jet fuel to ~15 GPa. JP-10 is C10H16 and consists of tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene isomers. The Hugoniot data is well fit using the “Universal Liquid Hugoniot” form with sound speed C° = 1 . 55 mm/μs. (The measured sound speed at ambient conditions is C° = 1 . 426 mm/μs.) At 1550 nm, JP-10 remains transparent at shock pressures up to 15.4 GPa. This suggests higher shock pressures are needed to cause chemical reactions in JP-10.
