Exploratory research, Tasks A, B, C, and D. Final report, August 17-December 31, 1977

Description: SRI International has conducted research on the upgrading of computerized thermo-hydro code calculations and the synthesis of energetic materials. This project comprised four tasks, as follows: Task A included: (1) formulating routines for inverting the P = P(T,V) and V = V(T,P) equations of state when isotherms exhibit a van der Waals' loop; (2) incorporating these routines into the TIGER code so V and T can be used as independent variables in computing thermodynamic functions of liquids exhib… more

Ignition and deflagration of potassium picrate (KP) and KP/explosives mixtures: low-voltage, nonprimary detonators

Description: Potassium picrate (KP) has been examined as a material which can be easily ignited to deflagration by a hot wire for application in low-voltage detonators which contain no primary explosives. KP can be ignited by a 0.05-mm-dia Nichrome wire at the 1-A/1-W level. KP mechanically blended with PETN or HMX in 10/90% by mass mixtures exhibit similar hot-wire ignition behavior to pure KP. These deflagrating mixtures generate higher pressures than pure KP and are therefore more useful as donor charges… more
