Hugoniot Curve ..
Hugoniot Curve : vs. for a
fixed value of q, inlet pressure ,
and inlet density

Region I:

Pressure of burned gas Pressure of C-J detonation wave
Strong detonation

Gasvelocity relative to wave front is slowed
to subsonic speed

Pressure and density increases significantly
for will be rarely observed

(Figure 22.5)

Region II:

Pressure of burned gas Pressure of
C-J detonation wave Weak detonation
Gas velocity relative to wave front is slowed to subsonic speed
Burned gas velocity > speed of sound at isochoric condition weak detonation attains infinite velocity

Region III:

In this region Therfore
Hence in this region is imaginary and physically impossible
