Abstract

Dynamic high pressure equation‐of‐state data are reported for 1,3‐ and 1,4‐cyclohexadiene, cyclohexene, cyclohexane, toluene, and n‐hexane initially in the liquid state. Plane shock waves generated by high explosives produced pressures of 0.5 to 43.0 GPa and densities to twice normal density. Toluene and n‐hexane exhibit transformations at 12.6 and 19.0 GPa, respectively, but cyclohexadiene, cyclohexene, and cyclohexane do not. Decomposition of the molecule is the probable cause for the transition. Results indicate that reducing the number of double bonds by adding hydrogen pairs to the benzene molecule causes the transition to disappear. The shock velocity−particle velocity (us −Up) data for toluene, toluene, cyclohexadiene, and n‐hexane are best represented by one or more line segments while cyclohexene and cyclohexane are fit by a quadratic in particle velocity. An extrapolation of the Us−Up curves to zero particle velocity result in a Us value for each liquid that is approximateley 40% higher than the...
