  • Explosive Properties of Polynitroaromatics
    NWC TP 7073 Explosive Properties of Polynitroaromatics by NWilliam S. Wilson %, Dan E. Bliss Stephen L. Christian I D and David J. Knight Research Department APRIL 1990 NAVAL WEAPONS CENTER ELECTE CHINA LAKE, CA 93555-6001 A DEC 1 U Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Naval Weapons Center FOREWORD (U) A large number of polynitroaromatic compounds have been prepared at the Naval Weapons Center in programs directed toward the synthesis of new dense, powerful, and insensitive energetic materials. This report collates their explosive properties, including density, detonation velocity and pressure, and impact sensitivity, and attempts to identify structure/property correlations. Such correlations will provide greater understanding of energetic materials in general and should a!!ow the rational, scientific identification of desirable target materials for new synthetic programs. This work was carried out using funding from the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Silver Spring, Md., Program Element 62314N, Project Number 2107F, Task Area RJ14E31, and Work Unit 132120 under the sponsorhip of L. Roslund (R10C). This report has been reviewed for technical accuracy by John W. Fischer, Richard A. Hollins, and Arnold T. Nielsen. Approved by Under authority of R. L. DERR, Head D.W.

  • Selective Reduction of Trinitrotoluene

Prasad, Mehi Lal, R. N. Surve and J.P. Agrawal High E1}ergyMateria/s ResearchLaboratory, Pune- 411 021 ABSTRACT ~ u. Selective reduction of trinilrotoluene in dioxane solution by H2S/NH3 yields a mixture containing 4-amino-2,6-dinilrOtoluene, 4-hydroxylamino-2,6-dinilrotoluene and 4,4'-dimethyl- 3, 3', 5,5'-tetranitroazoxybenzene. Treatment of crude mixture with KI/HCl converts 4-hydroxylamino-2,6-dinilrOtoluene into 4-amino-2,6-dinilrotoluene as well as increases the percentage of 4,4'-dimethyl-3, 3', 5, S'-tetranitroazoxybenzene. The resulting compound 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-IrinilrObenzene (TATB) was isolated and characterised by IR, NMR and elemental analysis. Its thermal decomposition as well as explosive properties have been sbldied. The data indicate that T A TB is stable up to 294 °c and is also insensitive to impact and friction. 1.

  • T Utorial Exercises
    Tutorial Exercises Answers to se/ected even-numbered exercises fol/ow. 1-1. An automobile with mass of 1250 kg travelling at the legal speed Iimit of90 km/h {55 mph) collides head on with an unyielding stone wall. a) What is the energy of the impact? b) What is its TNT equivalent? 1-2. The energy release per fission of a uranium nucleus is approximately 195 million electron volts (one electron volt equals 1.602 x 10-19 J). Of this, about 89% is released promptly and the balance of 11% appears in the course of time during radioactive decay of fission products. a) Compute the number of atoms of uranium which must undergo fission in order to provide an energy release of twenty kilotonnes TNT. b) How many moles of uranium is this? {The Avogadro number is 6.022 x 10 23 per mole). c) How many kilograms of pure uranium-235? 1-3. The standard 30-06 militaryrille fires a buHet with mass 150 g at a muzzle velocity of 884 m/s (2900 ft/s). a) What is the kinetic energy? b) What is its TNT equivalent? 1-4. The energy released in a lightning flash has been found tobe about 105 Jjm. What is the TNT equivalent of the energy release in a lightning fiash that extends 1.6 km? 1-5. A propellant "powder" based on cellulose nitrate shows an energy of explo­ sion of about 3 kJ/g. 195 196 Tutorial Exercises a) Characterize this material with regard to brisance and whether it is a deflagrating or a detonating explosive.
