Abstract
We assume that in a supernova collapse, when matter reaches the state of su per nuclear density, quark phase transition occurs under the critical densi ty. We calculate the collapse, bounce and shock propagation using the WW(88 ) initial model. We discuss the influence of phase transitions on the trans ferred energy and show that for suitable values of the critical density, th e phase transition can increase the transferred energy, leading to stronger shocks.
