“…One has to look closely to determine whether a large descrepancy between a PAD calculation and a VENUS calculation with the isentropic work evaluated is because there is a basic difference in damage potential or only because the two measures of damage potential are so different. 30 The reason the numbers can be so different for these two measures is that in weak accidents where only a small part of the excursion energy is available for work most of the available work in our expansion to one atmosphere comea after the core has expanded beyond a factor of eight in volume.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
