Thermodynamics and sound speeds at the Chapman-Jouguet state

Conference ·
OSTI ID:334332
Some thermodynamic relations about an equilibrium Chapman-Jouguet (CJ) state are obtained. Relations for sound speeds in the wave velocity-particle velocity plane are derived. A relation between the slope of the sound speed in this plane and the asymptotic slope of the Hugoniot is suggested.
