The dissociation and equation of state of dense fluid oxygen at high pressures and high temperatures.
The dissociation, pressure, and internal energy of dense fluid oxygen at high temperatures and densities have been calculated from the free-energy functions using the self-consistent fluid variational theory. In this paper, we focused on a mixture of oxygen atoms and molecules, and investigated the phenomenon of pressure dissociation at finite temperature. The single-shock Hugoniot derived from this equation of state agrees well with gas-gun experiments for pressure versus density. The equation of state and dissociation degree are predicted in the ranges of temperature of 5000-16,000 K and density of 0.1-4.5 g/cm(3). These data are formulated in the analytical forms of dissociation degree-density-temperature and pressure-density-temperature equation of state.
