The properties of an electric shock tube fitted with a diaphragm are examined. The diaphragm opening process and its effect on the motion of the shock wave are studied. A simple model to account for the diaphragm opening time is given and critical comparisons of theory and results with other work are made.The model works well both for shock tubes employing room temperature driver gas and also for those using heated driver gas. Furthermore, there is strong evidence that the diaphragm opening process is responsible for the accelerating phase of the shock wave motion in both types of shock tube.

A study has been made of the decay of a hydrogen plasma of ion density ~3���1015 cm?3 and temperature ~104�K. Details are presented of the experimental methods used to determine density and temperature distributions in the decaying plasma. The plasma decays by three-body recombination mainly and the experimental values of the recombination coefficient agree with those expected for a plasma opaque to Lyman radiation.
