Abstract:

The Debve interaction parameter in the straight and reflected waves were calculated at 50-1000 bar at 400 to 800 degrees and the pressure corrections due to the Coulomb interaction were determined. The high degree of nonideality was limited by the possibility of initial heating of the tube. Author
