The equation that expresses conservation of energy can also be determined by considering Fig. 2.3. Since the piston moves a distance u At, the work done by the piston on the fluid during this time interval is Pu At. The mass of material accelerated by the shock wave to a velocity u is PqU At. The kinetic energy acquired by this mass element is therefore (pqUu ) At/2. If the specific internal energies of the undisturbed and shocked material are denoted by Eq and E, respectively, the increase in internal energy is ( — o)Po V At per unit mass. The work performed on the system is equal to the sum of kinetic and... 

In (2.19), F has been replaced by P because force and pressure are identical for a one-dimensional system. In (2.20), S/m has been replaced by E, the specific internal energy (energy per unit mass). Note that all of these relations are independent of the physical nature of the system of beads and depend only on mechanical properties of the system. These equations are equivalent to (2.1)-(2.3) for the case where Pg = 0. As we saw in the previous section, they are quite general and play a fundamental role in shock-compression studies. 

In an ideal fluid, the stresses are isotropic. There is no strength, so there are no shear stresses the normal stress and lateral stresses are equal and are identical to the pressure. On the other hand, a solid with strength can support shear stresses. However, when the applied stress greatly exceeds the yield stress of a solid, its behavior can be approximated by that of a fluid because the fractional deviations from stress isotropy are small. Under these conditions, the solid is considered to be hydrodynamic. In the absence of rate-dependent behavior such as viscous relaxation or heat conduction, the equation of state of an isotropic fluid or hydrodynamic solid can be expressed in terms of specific internal energy as a function of pressure and specific volume E(P, V). A familiar equation of state is that for an ideal gas... 

Contact discontinuity A spatial discontinuity in one of the dependent variables other than normal stress (or pressure) and particle velocity. Examples such as density, specific internal energy, or temperature are possible. The contact discontinuity may arise because material on either side of it has experienced a different loading history. It does not give rise to further wave motion. 

Hugoniot curve A curve representing all possible final states that can be attained by a single shock wave passing into a given initial state. It may be expressed in terms of any two of the five variables shock velocity, particle velocity, density (or specific volume), normal stress (or pressure), and specific internal energy. This curve it not the loading path in thermodynamic space. 

To use a thermodynamic graph, locate the fluid s initial state on the graph. (For a saturated fluid, this point lies either on the saturated liquid or on the saturated vapor curve, at a pressure py) Read the enthalpy hy volume v, and entropy from the graph. If thermodynamic tables are used, interpolate these values from the tables. Calculate the specific internal energy in the initial state , with Eq. (6.3.23). 

The specific internal energy of the fluid in the expanded state U2 can be determined as follows If a thermodynamic graph is used, assume an isentropic expansion (entropy s is constant) to atmospheric pressure po- Therefore, follow the constant-entropy line from the initial state to Po- Read h- and V2 at this point, and calculate the specific internal energy U2-... 

When thermodynamic tables are used, read the enthalpy hf, volume Vj, and entropy Sf of the saturated liquid at ambient pressure, po, interpolating if necessary. In the same way, read these values (hg, Vg, Sg) for the saturated vapor state at ambient pressure. Then use the following equation to calculate the specific internal energy...

It will be noted that , is the specific internal energy of the unreacted explosive, whereas E2 is the specific internal energy of the explosion products at pressure p2 and specific volume v2. These equations are deduced from physical laws only and are independent of the nature or course of the chemical reaction involved. 

The major difficulty in applying this hydrodynamic theory of detonation to practical cases lies in the calculation of E2, the specific internal energy of the explosion products immediately behind the detonation front, without which the Rankine-Hugoniot curve cannot be drawn. The calculations require a knowledge of the equation of state of the detonation products and also a full knowledge of the chemical equilibria involved, both at very high temperatures and pressures. The first equation of state used was the Abel equation... 

Any characteristic of a system is called a property. The essential feature of a property is that it has a unique value when a system is in a particular state. Properties are considered to be either intensive or extensive. Intensive properties are those that are independent of the size of a system, such as temperature T and pressure p. Extensive properties are those that are dependent on the size of a system, such as volume V, internal energy U, and entropy S. Extensive properties per unit mass are called specific properties such as specific volume v, specific internal energy u, and specific entropy. s. Properties can be either measurable such as temperature T, volume V, pressure p, specific heat at constant pressure process Cp, and specific heat at constant volume process c, or non-measurable such as internal energy U and entropy S. A relatively small number of independent properties suffice to fix all other properties and thus the state of the system. If the system is composed of a single phase, free from magnetic, electrical, chemical, and surface effects, the state is fixed when any two independent intensive properties are fixed.
