Computation of the shock adiabats of argon and xenon

Results of computations of the shock adiabats of Ar and Xe taking account of ionization, electron excitation, and a nonideal plasma are represented. Energy losses by radiation are estimated.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 3, pp. 70–76, May–June, 1973.
