System Explosion

Significant quantities of nitromethane find use as fuel in drag racing and as a hobby fuel. In addition, nitromethane is used in explosive appHcations, particularly in shaped charges for specialized appHcations. It has the advantage of not in itself being classified as an explosive, but it can be made cap-sensitive on-site, thus simplifying the transport of the explosive system to remote locations. [Pg.104]

Flammability and Explosivity. Ozone is endothermic, thus it can bum or detonate by itself and represents the simplest combustible and explosive system. The concentration threshold for spark-initiated explosion ofHquid ozone in oxygen at —183° is 18.6 mol % O the concentration limit... [Pg.490]

The sodium bicarbonate suppressant attains almost equivalence in performance with the monoammonium phosphate powder. Water has proven to be a very effec tive suppressant of dust, especially grain and Fodder dusts. A suppressant is regarded as being veiy effec tive when an increase of the artivatiou pressure of the explosion system leads... [Pg.2329]

To achieve higher pressures, these same high explosive systems can be used to accelerate metal plates to high velocity [60M01], Typical plate impact conditions are described in the Los Alamos publications cited above and given in the table. [Pg.56]

The first law of thermodynamics relates the energy conversion produced by chemical reaction of an energetic material to the work acting on a propulsive or explosive system. The heat produced by chemical reaction q) is converted into the internal energy of the reaction product (e) and the work done to the system [w] according to... [Pg.3]

In this arrangement the shock wave produced by the detonating explosive system arrives at the free surface of a 2.5-cm thick, specimen plate (brass or Plexiglas). The arrival is plane parallel to within io.01 psec across an 8- to 10-cm diameter. The specimens of expls are placed within this plane region. [Pg.279]

In the late 1950 s and early 1960 s the entire explosives industry was intensively working on a new explosive system, which has since become known as water-gel or aqueous slurry explosives. Hercules was among the leaders in innovation and promotion of water gels. Packaged Flogel, an aqueous solution of oxidizing salts sensitized with smokeless powder became a forerunner of many such products. [Pg.67]

SuperSeis a patented explosive system for offshore seismic exploration, jointly developed. by Hercules and Western Geophysical Company, became operational in 1971. It consists of small explosive charges that are ejected from the exploration boat via a long pressured tube and detonate after an appropriate delay, at... [Pg.67]

Gray fit Yang (Ref 1), a mathematical model was proposed to unity the chain and thermal mechanisms of explosion. It was shown that the trajectories in the phase plane of the coupled energy and radical concentration equations of an explosive system will oive the time-dependent behavior of the system when the initial temperature and radical concentration are given. In the 2nd paper of the same investigators (Ref 2), a general equation for explosion limits (P—T relation) is derived from a unified thermal and chain theory and from chis equation, the criteria of explosion limits for either the pure chain or pure thermal theory can be deduced. For detailed discussion see Refs... [Pg.250]

In conclusion let us direct the reader s attention to the curious gasdynamic and kinetic features of detonation in systems of liquid fuel film + gaseous oxidizer, 38 and also in low-velocity regimes of propagation of detonation. In these systems, which are characterized by a very non-one-dimensional structure of the detonation wave, a primary role is played by interactions between the shock waves and rarefaction waves propagating in different layers of the explosive system with different speeds.

Ignition becomes much less abrupt when decreasing 2 (curve 3), due to the lower sensitivity of the reaction rate to temperature. In this case, which is perhaps more representative of chemical reactors, whereas the previous cases better describe explosive systems, the same final values of temperature and concentration are reached through a smoother profile.
