This chapter adopts the Chapman-Jouguet approach to derive jump conditions across combustion waves propagating in Van der Waals and Noble-Abel gases. The steady one-dimensional balance equations of mass, momentum and energy, assuming different properties of reactants and products, are applied to obtain the main properties of combustion waves, including velocities, Mach numbers, pressures and temperatures, in terms of the covolumes and intermolecular force parameters. In general, the effects of covolumes are more significant than the effects of the intermolecular attraction forces on Hugoniot curves and on properties of combustion waves. However, theoretical results using the Van der Waals equation of state matched more closely the experimental results for detonations of mixtures of propane and diluted air at high initial pressures.

The paper presents a modification of the digital method by S. K. Godunov for calculating real gas flows under conditions close to a critical state. The method is generalized to the case of the Van der Waals equation of state using the local approximation algorithm. Test calculations of flows in a shock tube have shown the validity of this approach for the mathematical description of gas-dynamic processes in real gases with shock waves and contact discontinuity both in areas with classical and nonclassical behavior patterns. The modified digital scheme by Godunov with local approximation of the Van der Waals equation by a two-term equation of state was used for simulating a spatial flow of real gas based on Navier – Stokes equations in the area of a complex shape, which is characteristic of the internal space of a safety valve. We have demonstrated that, under near-critical conditions, areas of nonclassical gas behavior may appear, which affects the nature of flows. We have studied nonlinear processes in a safety valve arising from the movement of the shut-off element, which are also determined by the device design features and the gas flow conditions.

‘States of matter’ describes the three traditional states — gas, liquid, and solid — and the models used to predict and understand their behaviour. The van der Waals equation of state captures many of the properties of real gases. The classical way of studying the motion of molecules in liquids is to measure its viscosity. Techniques include neutron scattering and nuclear magnetic resonance. X-ray diffraction is used to determine the structures of solids. Intermediate states of matter — where liquid meets gas and liquid meets solid — are also considered. Examples include supercritical fluids, soft matter such as liquid crystals, and graphene, a remarkable and essentially two-dimensional material.
