Abstract:An equation of state using pressure and temperature as independent variables, including non-equilibrium thermal energies of components and explicit accounting of thermal electron effects, is formulated for multi component mixtures. As pressure equilibration is faster in mixtures, this approach is more suited than earlier schemes using Mie-Gruneisen equation of state. Due to the reliance on enthalpy, in lieu of energy, it is directly applicable also to treat porosity effects. The formulation leads to an express… Show more
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.
