Abstract
Thermal stimuli is one of the major external stiumuli resulting from an overheated explosion of a munition. In order to evaluate the influence of external thermal stiumuli on the thermal hazards of JEOL-1 (32 wt% octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX), 32 wt% 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazole-5-one (NTO), 28 wt% Al and 8 wt% binder system) explosive, accelerating rate calorimeter (ARC) is used to study the adiabatic thermal decomposition properties of JEOL-1 molding powders, and the slow cook-off properties of JEOL-1 are studied by experimental test and numerical simulation. The activation energy Ea, pre-exponential factor A, mechanism function f(α) and self-accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT) of adiabatic thermal decomposition of JEOL-1 molding powders are obtained according to ARC results. The response level of JEOL-1 polymer bonded explosive (PBX) columns exposed to an engulfing liquid pool fire is examined by the slow cook-off test. The ignition location, ignition temperature, ignition time and the transient temperature distributions of JEOL-1 PBX columns during the slow cook-off are obtained by numerical simulation. It can be concluded from this study that JEOL-1 is a low vulnerable explosive with high thermal safety.
