Effect of compressibility of additive on rate of detonation of mixed charges
Results of a series of tests for charges of TNT, octogen, and hexogen, containing as additives the chlorides of sodium and potassium, boron nitride, aluminum talc, benzene, hexane, and solutions of carbon tetrachloride and hexane with the same density as benzene were evaluated. Three series of tests were conducted to determine detonation speed and the effect of the additive compressibility on detonation speed and on the speed determination accuracy. The results showed that polymorphic or other transformations under impact wave compression resulting in a significant change in the specific volume of the additive cause a further reduction in the speed of detonation, greater than the normal experimental error. A study of the effect of introducing an additive into the charge can be used to provide information on the compressibility of the additive and the possibility of transformations, with a significant change in the specific volume, occurring under pressure conditions.
