Notes:
The aim of this investigation is to determine the influence of the energy release from a combustible two-phase media on the blast wave generated by an explosive charge, during the first stages of the process. For this purpose ball charges of “Composition B” were detonated in air, in pure nitrogen containing suspended solid particles of carbon, and in pure oxygen containing particles of aluminum and carbon. The blast wave's velocity was measured in all the media using fast frame camera 300,000 f.p.s. and streak photography at 2 mm/μs. The influence of release or absorption of energy by the medium was investigated by comparing experiments done in inert media with those conducted in combustible media while other parameters are kept constant.Kozorezov's triple isentrope model was compared to the results, and good agreement is found. The article contains detailed information on the experiments and the calculations performed.
