The simple fluid constituents of the reaction products of an aluminized nitromethane explosive are described by a perturbation technique based on their intermolecular interactions. Liquid metal constituents are treated with a Grover scaling model. Standard solid-state approaches are applied to the solid components of the reaction products. Calculated detonation velocities compared favorably with experimental data.
