Energetic Compounds
Methods for Prediction of their Performance
About this book
This book discusses methods for the assessment of energetic compounds through heat of detonation, detonation pressure, velocity and temperature, Gurney energy and power. The authors focus on the detonation pressure and detonation velocity of non-ideal aluminized energetic compounds. This 2nd Edition includes an updated and improved presentation of simple, reliable methods for the design, synthesis and development of novel energetic compounds.

Industrial & Technical Chemistry1 Heat of detonation
Combustion is a chemical reaction which is very fast, highly exothermic, is usually accompanied by a flame, and takes place between a substance and oxygen. The energy generated during combustion raises the temperature of the unreacted material and increases the rate of reaction. If the temperature of the combustible substance is raised above its ignition temperature, the heat which is released will be greater than the heat which is lost to the surrounding medium, and a flame will be observed. For organic energetic compounds such as propellants and explosives a large amount of gas at high temperatures is liberated during their combustion. In contrast to the combustion of fuels, the combustion of organic energetic compounds is a self-sustaining process which does not require the presence of oxygen in the surrounding atmosphere. An organic energetic compound can be classed as being a deflagrating organic energetic compound if a small amount of the compound in an unconfined space suddenly ignites on exposure to initiation sources such as a flame, spark, shock, friction, or high temperatures. Deflagrating organic energetic compounds burn faster and more violently than ordinary fuels, and with a flame, sparks, hissing, or crackling noise. When an organic energetic compound initiates and its decomposition occurs via a travelling shock wave rather than a thermal mechanism, it is called a detonating organic explosive. The detonation process for an organic energetic compound can be instigated either by burning to detonation or by an initial shock.
