Thermal analysis and kinetics of the TiH/sub x//KClO/sub 4/ system
A combined experimental and theoretical study of the system TiH/sub x//KClO/sub 4/ has been undertaken to investigate the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of initiation of the TiH/sub x//KClO/sub 4/ pyrotechnic system and to obtain parameters of interest in mathematical modeling of the initiation and propagation from a hot bridgewire source. Experimental results along with kinetic computations are of interest in understanding the chemical processes involved and in determining the stability of the pyrotechnic system. Initial computation from a number of experimental reaction exotherms obtained by use of a differential scanning calorimeter yielded a reasonably consistent set of kinetic parameters over a range of heating rates.
