Experimental Study on the Thermodynamic Damage Power of Ammunition Deflagration in a Closed Explosive Device

The high temperature and high pressure gas produced by propellant deburning has strong thermal effect,which will produce strong thermal damage effect on the target. In this study, an improved closed explosive device was used to simulate the thermal shock loading of 5/7 single base propellant with a charge mass of 17.4 g, and the change law of heat flow density of propellant in the process of deflagration in a closed environment was tested. The experimental results show that the temperature rises rapidly during the deflagration of the 5/7 single-base propellant, and the maximum heat flow density can reach 17.68 MW/ m2 . The curves obtained from the three tests have good consistency in the change trend, which proves the engineering practicability of the improved closed explosive device in the study.
