The burning of secondary high explosives under high pressure up to 1000 kg/cm2

Abstract

1. The effect of high pressures on the burning of secondary high explosives has been investigated. 2. An empirical equation for the relation between the burning velocity and pressure over the range from 1–900 cm2 has been obtained. 3. Burning in the gas evidently proceeds over the burning surface and in the pores of the charge with different velocities, the difference depending on the external pressure.
