Abstract

A program is described which enables data processing of theoretical temperatures of flames of pyrotechnic reactions. This software has been developed with simplified mathematics. A very large database of thermodynamic characteristics allows a very important number of different calculations of temperatures.

The program takes into account the phenomena of dissociation of the most important species present in the reactions that we have to use. The results that we obtained with this computer program are very satisfying.

Zusammenfassung

Es wird ein Programm beschrieben, welches die Datenverarbeitung für theoretische Temperaturen von Flammen bei pyrotechnischen Reaktionen ermöglicht. Diese Software wurde mit vereinfachten mathematischen Methoden entwickelt. Eine sehr große Datenbank thermodynamischer Eigenschaften erlaubt eine sehr bedeutende Anzahl verschiedener Berechnungen der Temperaturen.

Das Programm berücksichtigt die Erscheinung der Dissoziation der wichtigsten Vertreter, die in den zu benutzenden Reaktionen vorkommen. Mit diesem Computerprogramm konnten recht zufriedenstellende Resultate erzielt werden.
