Optimization of Wall Velocity Measurements Using Photonic Doppler Velocimetry (PDV)

Künzel M., Němec O., Pachman J.

Central European Journal of Energetic Materials

2015

Vol. 12, no. 1

89--97

The paper describes the measurement of cylindrical charge wall velocity profiles at various angles to the surface normal. The wall velocities were measured using simple zero generation photonic Doppler velocimetry (PDV). The detonation velocity was measured simultaneously using fiber optic probes coupled with a digital chronometer. The PDV probe angles were set in the range of -2° to 17° to the surface normal. Powdered pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) and the PETN-based plastic-bonded explosive Semtex 1A were selected as the explosive materials in order to ensure reliable detonation under the measurement conditions. The explosive charges were confined in thin-walled aluminum tubes with an internal diameter of 16 mm and wall thickness of 2 mm. The results can be useful for the characterization of charge expansion phenomena and also for the optimization of cylinder test measurements using PDV. Gurney constants were determined for both explosives.

The thermal behavior and decomposition kinetics of Semtex 10 polymeric matrix (Semtex) bonded PBXs containing RDX (1,3,5-trinitro 1,3,5-triazinane), HMX (1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocane), BCHMX (cis-1,3,4,6tetranitrooctahydroimidazo [4,5-d] imidazole), HNIW (2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane) have been investigated by means of nonisothermal TG and DSC techniques. It is shown that only a single decomposition process occurs for RDX-SE and HMX-SE whilst an obvious two-step process occurs for CL-20-SE and BCHMX-SE. The onset of the exotherms were observed at 210.6, 239.7, 279.2 and 229.4 °C with the peak maxima at 232.2, 249.4, 280.4 and 240.2 °C, and energy changes of 1808, 2140, 612 and 1757 J·g-1 for RDX-SE, BCHMX-SE, HMX-SE and CL-20-SE, respectively. It has been found that the Semtex matrix has little influence on the activation energy distribution for RDX, BCHMX and ε-CL-20. The activation energies for BCHMX-SE and CL-20-SE decomposition are almost independent of the degree of conversion, with mean values of 159.6 ±1.9 and 187.3 ±1.8 kJ·mol-1. It has been proved that Semtex and Viton A are better binders than C4 and Formex for ε-CL-20 and RDX based PBXs in terms of their greater thermal stability, and Formex is a poor binder for BCHMX.
