Abstract

A mathematical model describing the composition of products and dynamic characteristics for the detonation of a multicomponent mixture of condensed explosives was proposed. The model consists of a system of equations with respect to a possible composition and temperature with allowance for the laws of conservation, partial conditions of detailed equilibrium, and semiempirical functional dependence of the energy-release coefficient. The numerical solution of these equations makes it possible to predict a relative impulse, rate, and pressure of detonation of individual explosives and their mixtures and to solve the problem of optimization of the detonation characteristics by composition. The application of the model for the calculation of optimum compositions for standard explosives with the empirical formula C a H b N c O d F e was considered.
