The explosion is considered at different height, is calculated shock strength and shock velocity for adiabatic and isothermal flow. It has been found that shock strength and shock velocity in isothermal flow is smaller in comparison to adiabatic flow. It has been also found that the energy of shock waves in adiabatic flow is larger than isothermal flow. The effect angular velocity of rotation on the shock velocity and shock strength is also discussed.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> https://ultraphysicalsciences.org/paper/1096/ Spherical shock waves adiabatic isothermal explosion energy consideration
