Shock-Induced Decomposition of Carbon Disulfide.
Abstract
The purpose of this work is to study the shock-induced chemical decomposition of liquid CS2. Studies of mechanical response have shown that the liquid under compression transforms to a higher density form. Past work has shown that this transformation occurs under static pressure at 45 kb and 175 C. Previous shock experiments have shown that a similar transformation occurs in a single shock at approximately 60 kb and 1000 C. Sheffield at WSU has shown that the transformation occurs in a reflected shock at pressures greater than 75 kb and at temperatures greater than 750 C. The transformation or reaction time was determined by Sheffield in various ways and found to decrease from about 400 nsec at 79 kb to less than 10 nsec at 130 kb. At the lower pressures there is an induction time decreasing from 300 nsec at 79 kb to less than 6 nsec at 106 kb.
