Abstract

The detailed ideal gas thermodynamic properties of 29 nitro and nitrate compounds are calculated together with two of their radicals. Most of these compounds are high explosives: TNT, RDX, HMX, PETN, NPN, and NG, whereas others serve as propellants or specialty fuels such as nitromethane. The thermodynamic properties were calculated from fundamental molecular data. The molecular data were gathered from the literature or calculated for this purpose. The enthalpy of formation of 1-nitro-pentane is estimated to be i 39.3 § 0.5 kcal/mole, and that of 1-nitro-hexane is i 44.3 § 0.7 kcal/mole.
