Abstract
An improved method is presented for the prediction of detonation velocity of C−H−NO based pure, mixed, and aluminized explosives. The new empirical relation is based on calculated values of the heat of detonation and the number of moles of gaseous detonation products. A constant of the empirical relation has been found using regression analysis of 74 data points of pure and mixed explosives as well as 22 data points of aluminized explosives. The value of the constant is found to be 1.00 with R2 value of 0.96. Proposed empirical relation has been validated by comparing predicted values of detonation velocities with measured values for TNT, HMX/RDX‐TNT‐Al and HMX‐TNT based explosives. Experimental measurement of detonation velocity has been carried out using pin‐ionization method on cylindrical explosive charges of diameter 50 mm and height 150 mm. The predicted values of detonation velocities are in good agreement with measured values with a root mean square error of 1.28 %. The validation of the new relation has also been carried by comparing calculated values of detonation velocities using present and literature methods with reported experimental values.
期刊介绍:
Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics (PEP) is an international, peer-reviewed journal containing Full Papers, Short Communications, critical Reviews, as well as details of forthcoming meetings and book reviews concerned with the research, development and production in relation to propellants, explosives, and pyrotechnics for all applications. Being the official journal of the International Pyrotechnics Society, PEP is a vital medium and the state-of-the-art forum for the exchange of science and technology in energetic materials. PEP is published 12 times a year.
PEP is devoted to advancing the science, technology and engineering elements in the storage and manipulation of chemical energy, specifically in propellants, explosives and pyrotechnics. Articles should provide scientific context, articulate impact, and be generally applicable to the energetic materials and wider scientific community. PEP is not a defense journal and does not feature the weaponization of materials and related systems or include information that would aid in the development or utilization of improvised explosive systems, e.g., synthesis routes to terrorist explosives.
