Shock compression of hydrocarbons of the general formula C5H8

The paper reports results of experimental investigation of liquid hydrocarb ons having identical elemental compositions but different structures of mol ecules, initial densities, and heats of formation. Shock-compression temper atures are determined For 1,3-pentadiene, methylene cyclobutane, spiropenta ne, and a solution of benzene with hexane and cyclohexane (which has the sa me ratio of C/H), and the shock adiabat is determined for 1,3-pentadiene. T he data obtained are used to refine the expressions for the state parameter s of the destruction products of hydrocarbons behind a shock-wave front.
