Energy transfer mechanisms to internal molecular degrees of freedom in shock and detonation waves in polyatomic liquids are investigated. The proposed approach uses a new version of the method of nonequilibrium molecular dynamics based on the simplest model potential energy surfaces of reacting polyatomic molecules. The main feature is adaptation of some results and approaches of gas theory to liquids...
Catastrophic initiation of an energetic material consists of a complex, interactive, sequential train of mechanistic mechanical, physical, and chemical processes which occur over a finite time period and proceed from macroscopic into sub-microscopic composition levels (bulk > crystalline > molecular > atomic). Initiation results when these processes proceed at a rate which generates sufficient...
In the paper the linear form of burning rate law r=r1źp, describing changes (in proportion to pressure p) in burning rate of propellants is reviewed. The linear form is one of many (but very popular) forms of burning rate law predicted to analysis and computer simulations of propellant gun systems operating and design process of gun. Coeffcient r1 of the linear form is usually calculated on the basis...
Considerations based on available experimental data on regularities of molecular condensed EMs decomposition under the effect of shock waves of different intensities are presented. It follows from the considerations that there exist shock wave pressures p* typical for each charge (for TNT charges p* ~ 12 GPa) and the charges’ initial density ?0* (for TNT 0* ~ 1.40 g/cm3) such that at larger pressure...
The research on an effect of aluminium contents on detonation characteristics of ammonium nitrate explosives was carried out. Measurements of detonation velocity were performed. Parameters of blast waves produced by charges of the investigated explosives detonating in an open space were measured by the use of piezoelectric gauges. Quasi-static pressure measurements were conducted in a steel chamber...
Aminoguanidinium perchlorate (2, AGClO4) was formed by the reaction of aminoguanidinium bicarbonate (1) with aqueous perchloric acid solution. Triaminoguanidinium perchlorate (3, TAGClO4) was synthesized by nucleophilic attack of aqueous hydrazine solution on aminoguanidinium perchlorate under release of ammonia. The new and highly explosive azidoformamidinium perchlorate (4, AFClO4) was formed by...
Aromatic compounds containing one or two nitrogroups use in chemical industry commercially, in the first place there are mono- and di- nitroderivatives of benzene and toluene. Some industrial incidents at heat selfignition of them, and explosive properties of them were discussed in literature. This investigation deals with explosion hazard of less investigated in this regard class nitrocompounds -...
Research of HE warheads lethal zone is very complex topic because of large number of controlled and independent, sometimes correlated, influencing factors. Capability for prediction of lethal zone is based on complexity of databases regarding natural fragmentation parameters, which should contain data about warhead body material characteristics, types of explosive charge, number, mass, initial velocity...
Toluene mono-nitration in a semi-batch reactor was investigated with reaction calorimeter (RC1). The mixed acid HNO3/H2SO4/H2O (wt%) was used in proportion 13/66/21, which is similar to industrial parameters. The exothermic rates at different reaction temperatures were compared, and then the curves of heat generation rate after dosing were analyzed. The Maximal Temperature attainable by runaway of...
A series of 2,6-dialkoxy-3,5-dinitropyrazines (R = Me, Et, Pr) has been synthesized and subjected to amination. The yield and purity of the generated 2,6-diamino-3 ,5-dinitropyrazine was found to be independent of the alkoxy group present in the precursor. This contrasts with the behaviour of 1,3,5-trialkoxy-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (R = Me, Et, Pr), where the purity of the 1,3,5-triamino- 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene...
There are great number tasks of explosive technique, requiring the charges with low pressure and detonation velocity. Powerful tool of regulation of these parameters is lowering of charge density. The main goal of this work is elaboration of technology of manufacture and investigation of explosive properties of charges on a base of eutectic ammonium nitrate-urea mixtures (AN/UR) that have melting...

The detonation of energetic materials will result in the formation of decomposition products. These may be carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbon, water, etc. In order to clarify the problems of decomposition products, a software package is developed to solve the problems of decomposition products using four different concepts. Although each concept will provide a different answer for the decomposition...
Search of high-power energetic materials is one primary line of development of chemical physics of combustion and explosion. Yield of such materials is usually very small, and its cost is very high. Calculation of unknown characteristics and properties is the only way out from this situation. There are different methods today that allow calculating unknown detonation performance and some of physicochemical...
Synthesis of new high-strength superdispersed materials by use of detonation and shock waves is a developing branch of manufacture. Diamond, metal oxides, nitrides, and many other substances are produced and find industrial application. The objective of current work was the method of synthesis of iron aluminates and a new modification of alumina. For the synthesis initiation of explosion of aluminized...

Modern rocket propellants contain inter alia nitroamines (i.e. RDX, HMX). Therefore, the detonation properties of composite solid propellants are very important for good functioning of rocket motors and for storage. One of the new materials of that kind, with low sensitivity, is FOX-7 which was applied here as one of the components of composite solid propellant. This paper presents the thermodynamical...
