Application of a Theoretical Model of State Equation for Calculation of N2, O2, and CO2 Shock Adiabatic Curves

Abstract

An improved version of the equation of state model for two-component fluid mixtures whose molecules interact with the Exp-6 type potential has been proposed in previous works. The thermodynamic parameters of N 2 , O 2 , and CO 2 shock-wave compression are calculated using the equation of state model for two-component fluid mixtures based on perturbation theory. Products of compression of these substances are two-component mixtures. Analogous calculations are also performed using an effective one-fluid model. A comparison of the results obtained with the available experimental data and results of Monte Carlo simulation allows us to conclude that the proposed theoretical equation of state model is superior to effective one-fluid model in accuracy and reliably describes the thermodynamic properties of two-component fluid mixtures in a wide pressure and temperature ranges.

DRAGON – The German Thermo‐Chemical Code Based on the Becker‐Kistiakowsky‐Wilson Equation of State

“…George Bogdanovich Kistiakowsky (born on 18 November 1900 in Kiev, died on 7 December 1982 in Cambridge, Massachusetts) was a Ukrainian-American physical chemistry professor at Harvard who participated in the Manhattan Project as a consultant. He was soon placed in charge of X-Division, which was responsible for the development of the explosive lenses necessary for an implosiontype nuclear weapon.…”

“…Statistical mechanical perturbations or integral equation theories to model chemical equilibrium HE product mixtures were previously used. Some of these as well as comparable methods have been implemented in several thermochemical codes, like: CHEETAH [6][7][8][9], CARTE [10][11][12][13], JCZS [14], TDS [15][16][17][18], HEOS [19] and Magpie [20].…”
