Abstract

We describe the qualitative properties of warm dense matter on adiabats, paying particular attention to their behavior in the vicinity of phase transitions. The equation of state of matter on the adiabat corresponding to an entropy of 1 kB per nucleon is calculated within the compressible liquid drop model for nuclei.
