Abstract
A simple phenomenological model for the nuclear equation of state is introduced and the dependence of the phase boundaries on the parameters is discussed. The equations for relativistic shocks are then applied to study the compression of hadronic matter and the hadronization of supercooled baryon-rich plasma. The results show little sensitivity to the different parametrizations of the hadronic equation of state. However, they may be sensitive to dynamic properties such as the hadronization rate.
