• WEAK – WAVES IN GAS PARTICLE MIXTURE

Abstract

In present paper an attempt has been made to discuss weak – non -linear waves in gas particle mixture for a binary dissociated gas when particle volume fraction is negligible and equilibrium is eventually established. Equation of motion, wave and weak shocks are discussed. Applying method of linearization compatibility condition, relatively undistorted wave condition and shock formation is obtained. For high frequency harmonic wave asymptotic analysis is applied to obtained the solution up to second order. Variation of velocity is interpreted through graphs for various values of density, specific heat of mixture and rate of internal change. In preparation of graphs Mathematica 7 is used.
