Abstract
The inviscid hydrodynamics of inert compressible media governed by the Euler equations of motion only require knowledge of a caloric equation of state e(p, v) for the material relating the internal energy e to the fluid pressure p and specific volume v (or density). For departures from the ideal gas behavior, simple equations of state such as the stiffened gas, Noble-Abel, or a hybrid recently generalized by Le Métayer and Saurel [“The Noble-Abel stiffened-gas equation of state,” Phys. Fluids 28, 046102 (2016)] can correctly model compressible flows in gases, liquids, and solids. However, reactive and multicomponent descriptions require a formal definition of temperature. In the present note, we formulate a general thermodynamically based method to determine the thermal equation of state T(p, v) compatible with a generic e(p, v) relation. We apply our method to the Noble-Abel Stiffened Gas equation of state and recover the closed form solution of Le Métayer and Saurel. We also show that variations of the model taking its exponent different from the ratio of specific heats do not permit to define a thermodynamic temperature.
