| Abstract: | An experimental study of the detonation parameters and structure of the reaction zone for liquid high explosives (HEs), such
as bis(2-fluoro-2,2-dinitroethyl)formal (FEFO), tetranitromethane (TNM), and nitromethane (NM) is performed. For each of these
HEs, the time corresponding to the position of the Chapman-Jouguet point is determined: for FEFO, from experiments conducted
at different charge diameters (≈300 ns); for TNM, at a fixed diameter but at different lengths (≈200 ns); and for NM, at the
same diameter and length of the shell, but with detonation being initiated by different HE charge (≈50 ns). The particle velocity
and pressure at the Chapman-Jouguet point for these explosives were measured. For TNM and NM, the dependence of the detonation
velocity on the charge diameter was obtained |
