Abstract
Kirkwood’s extension of Lennard-Jones Devonshire model for liquids, to multicomponent fluid mixtures, has been used to find out the various parameters of detonation of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), for various loading densities. The exponent of the law of adiabatic expansion of hot dense products has been determined.
