Detonation theory, thermodynamic justification of the Chapman-Jouget hypothesis (Q1584161)

The paper discusses the stationary detonation of Chapmen and Juge in the homogeneous explosive substance (see \textit{F.~A.~Williams}, ``Burning theory'', Moscow (1971)). It is established that the equilibrium flow after the density jump is thermodynamically stable, if it is supersonic or subsonic with respect to the sound velocity. The author discusses the other conclusions obtained in terms of the adopted model.
