Schwartz, et al., previously reported calorimetry measurements conducted on a Pu-Pu 6 Fe mixture, from which they derived a melt enthalpy of 31.2 J/g (46.6 kJ/mol) for Pu 6 Fe. This was the first—and remains the only—such value to appear in the literature. We reanalyze those results in light of two contributions to the measured heat flow not considered in the original report: the melt enthalpy of the excess Pu and the subsequent heating of the liquid mixture. These corrections yield a revised value of 24.4 J/g (36.3 kJ/mol), which we show to be consistent with the melt enthalpy of U 6 Fe.
Two problems and solutions are provided.
This slide set presents a few corrections and the solution to Problems 1 and 2 fro the SSDDS Course taught by Bill Anderson.
Lecture roadmap: Definitions, explanation of shock wave, properties of a shock wave, relations to equation of state and quasistatic compression, calculations, measurements, and problems.
The outline for SSDDS Lecture 3 includes: stress and strain, stress waves, waves at interfaces and boundaries, formation of shock waves, and problems.
