Explosives status

This book is split into six well-defined chapters Salient Features of Explosives, Status of Explosives, Processing and Assessment of Explosives, Propellants, Pyrotechnics, and Explosive and Chemical Safety. Further, the book includes an exhaustive bibliography at the end of each chapter (total references cited are more than 1000). It also provides the status of HEMs reported mainly during the last 50 years, including their prospects for military applications in the light of their physical, chemical, thermal and explosive properties. The likely development areas for further research are also highlighted. Accidents, fires and explosions in the explosive and chemical industries may be eliminated or minimized if the safety measures described in this book are implemented. 

FAST TRACE ANALYSIS OF EXPLOSIVE VAPORS. STATUS AND PROSPECTS... 

Have formal process hazard analyses (PHAs) been completed for highly hazardous processes (for example, those processes involving toxic or volatile substances, highly toxic materials, severe lachrymators, flammables, explosive compounds or potential runaway reactions) If yes, please summarize status of each.

Although the status of many 3D codes makes it possible to carry out detailed scenario calculations, further work is needed. This is particularly so for 1) development and verification of the porosity/distributed resistance model for explosion propagation in high density obstacle fields 2) improvement of the turbulent combustion model, and 3) development of a model for deflagration to detonation transition. More data are needed to enable verification of the model in high density geometries. This is particularly needed for onshore process plant geometries. 

The explosion of graphical software and the ability of database management systems to store graphical data provide a mechanism for designing and implementing clip art to convey certain meaning to the user. For example traffic lights have been used to convey the status of data collection forms.

Having shown that both Sprengel explosives and organic peroxides have been seriously studied, and in numerous cases applied as commercial energetic materials, their current status needs to be addressed. As stressed in each case, these materials were too unstable, unfriendly, and unpredictable for continued use in a field populated with much better alternatives. Terrorists, however, often do not have ready access to the commercial and military alternatives in use today. They are not deterred by the factors that forced the Sprengel explosives and the peroxides into mainstream obscurity.

Several aspects of explosives definition, classification, fundamental features, important characteristics including their applications in various fields have already been discussed in Chapter 1. During last 50 years, the number of explosives reported in the literature has increased exponentially and it is therefore proposed to discuss the status of current and future explosives in this chapter. Toward the end, some areas have also been identified for further research in the coming years by the high energy materials (HEMs) community.
