Abstract

Abstract Many equations of state (EOS) for detonation products have been proposed and used. Some of them are in analytical form and some in tabular form. The most popular is the Jones-Wilkins-Lee (JWL) EOS. One of the main parameters of a product's EOS is the so-called adiabatic gamma along its main isentrope (γs). For JWL EOSs γs(V) varies in a nonmonotonic way. Going down from the CJ point along the main isentrope, it first increases to create a hump, and then, as V goes to infinity, gamma decreases to perfect gas-like behavior with gamma around 1.3. But according to Davis [Citation1], γs(V) should decrease monotonically with V. Accordingly, in this article we investigate the following: (1) Is the hump in γs(V) necessary? and (2) Is it possible to construct a product's EOS with a monotonic γs(V) that is consistent with experimental data? We find that (1) it is possible to construct a product's EOS without a hump in γs(V); and (2) without a hump in γs(V) there are not enough degrees of freedom to reproduce cylinder test data.
