Explosive bomb

Ethylene oxide has been studied for use as a rocket fuel (276) and as a component in munitions (277). It has been reported to be used as a fuel in FAE (fuel air explosive) bombs (278).

As was already mentioned, experimental determinations of heat of explosion and of heat of detonation are conducted in steel or special alloy cylindrical vessels of strong construction, known as "constant volume explosion bomb calorimeters and as "detonation calorimeters . To the brief description of such calorimeters (bombs), which is given in Vol 2 of Encycl, p Cll-R, the following may be added ... 

Bombs, Incendiary, Extinguishing of. Bombs of the incendiary type were introduced during WWI but they were not effective and were comparatively easy to extinguish. In fact, some fires caused by explosive bombs striking near flammable materials were more difficult to extinguish because the destruction and debris which were wrought by the expln made it practically impossible for fire fighters to reach the seat of the fire. As explosive bombs ate heavier, not as many can be carried by a plane as incendiary bombs... 

Only when the bomb struck very near some readily combustible material was there any danger(Ref 1) The incendiary bombs of WWII were much more effective as also were the bombing planes. This made it possible to conduct incendiary bombing on a very large scale, especially by the Americans and British. For instance, accdg to Stettbacher (Ref 16), the number of incendiary bombs dropped on Koln(June 28,1943) was 100,000, on Berlin (March 8,1944) 200,000, Tokyo(March 15,1945) 325,000 and Hitler s Headquarters(May 25,1945) 600,000. Damages and casualties inflicted by incendiary bombs were about ten times greater than that caused by explosive bombs(Ref 16)...

Recent terrorist attacks on October 12, 2002, in Bali, Indonesia, showed that the homemade and industrial explosive bombs present a serious threat to the world community. These terrorist activities generated enormous demand for rapid identification of nitroaromatic explosives at the site of terrorism. The decentralized detection of explosives at low concentrations is fundamental for safety of civilized people. The ideal counter-terrorism detection device should allow the security forces to make the important decision concerning evacuating, barricading, effective decontamination of particular site or efficient pursuing of suspects.

When work on incendiaries was undertaken by NDRC in the summer of 1941 the large-scale use of incendiary bombs was a relatively new concept. The effectiveness of the incendiary as a weapon of attack had been shown during the blitz on England, where destruction per ton of incendiaries dropped was about five times as great as the damage from a ton of high-explosive bombs. [Noyes, page 388]. 

From this expression the value of the heat of reaction at constant pressure can be calculated if that at constant volume is known, or vice versa. An important use of equation (12.3) is in the determination of the AH values for combustion reactions, since the actual thermochemical measurements are made in an explosion bomb at constant volume. 

A small quantity of liquid ethanol is placed in an explosion bomb together with twice the theoretical amount of oxygen at 25 C and 1 atm. pressure. Taking the heat of vaporization of the alcohol as 9.5 kcal. mole at 25 C, calculate the maximum explosion temperature and the maximum explosion pressure, assuming...
