Abstract
It is shown that a simplified theoretical approach exists to estimate the detonation pressure of CHNOF explosives at various loading densities. Estimated heat of formation of the explosive in gas phase is one of the essential parameters in the calculation. It is assumed that the detonation products for an oxygen‐rich explosive are limited to CO, CO2, H2 O, N2, HF and O2 ; on the other hand solid carbon and H2 are also counted as major products for an oxygen‐lean explosive. Calculated detonation pressure for some known CHNOF explosives show good agreement with the experimental C‐J pressures as compared to pressures yielded by complicated BKW‐EOS computer code.
