High capacity bombs

WirkungS Azt, /. kind of action mode of acting mode of operation, -bereich, m. range of action or effect, effective range, -bombe, /. demolition bomb, high-capacity bomb, -dauer, /. period (or duration) of action or effect. 

This problem was finally solved by the British, who first devised special (Livens) projectors which were adapted to fire in one salvo a large number of high-capacity bombs for a maximum distance of 1,800 yd., and thus create extremely heavy gas concentrations within the enemy s... 

High Capacity (HC) Bombs. These British bombs used for general bombardment purposes are described in Ref. ... 

It is desirable to increase blast effect in the case of high capacity, light cased explosive weapons such as torpedoes, mines and high capacity aircraft bombs. It has been established beyond doubt that this is possible by the use of aluminized explosives which contain aluminum powder as an ingredient. 

Great Britain. The 80/20 and 60/40 amatols, invented in 1915 at the Research Dept, Woolwich,soon became the main fillings for HE shells in the Brit Land Service (Ref 4, p 152 171). According to Ref 12, the use of amatols during WW II was as follows a) 60/40 amatol - in GP, Medium Capacity, High Capacity A/P bombs also in depth charges, rockets, grenades, land sea mines b)... 

Bombs, High Capacity(HC). According to Ohart (Ref 1), these bombs are the same as the LC (light case) bombs with a chge wt ratio of ca 80%,... 

Aerial bombs may be subdivided into HC (high capacity) ca 80% capacity, MC(medium capacity) ca 50% and LC(low capacity) below 50%, more often 5 30%... 

A high-pressure bomb of about 1.1-1. capacity is charged with 82 g. (0.50 mole) of sebaconitrile 1 and about 6 g. of Raney nickel catalyst2 (Note 1) suspended in 25 ml. of 95% ethanol, using an additional 25 ml. of ethanol to rinse in the catalyst. The bomb is closed (Note 2), and about 68 g. (4 moles) of liquid ammonia is introduced from a fared, 5-lb. commercial cylinder (Note 3). Hydrogen is then admitted at tank pressure (1500 lb.), and the temperature is raised to 125°. The reaction starts at about 90°... 

In earlier times, ethyl ether was commonly used as an anesthetic. It is, however, highly flammable. When five milliliters of ethyl ether, C HuQC/), (d - 0.714 g/mL) is burned in a bomb calorimeter, die temperature rises from 23-5°C to 39.7°Q The calorimeter heat capacity is 10.34 k)/°C. 

Hydrothermal Growth. Hydrothermal growth is used in the form of solution transport for the growth of synthetic quartz. Cmshed natural quartz is placed into the lower part of a high pressure steel vessel, called a bomb, and thin seed plates are located in the upper region, as seen in Figure 5. The vessel is filled, for example, to 80% capacity with a 4% NaOH [1310-73-2] solution the NaOH acts as a mineralizer to increase the solubility of Si02. 

Calorific Values of Explosives, Calorific value is defined by Weissberger (Ref 3) as the heat evolved when the substance is exploded in the absence of oxygen except for what it contains itself . This quantity is practically the same as the heat evolved when the substance is exploded under normal operating conditions (such as in bore holes or in shells). Experimental techniques differ somewhat from chose employed in ordinary combustion calorimetry. The bombs employed in calorific value techniques are smaller in capacity and possess very thick walls to withstand high pressures. For example the bomb described in Ref 2 is of 124cc capacity. It was developed at Woolwich Arsenal and modified by Taylor et al.
