Abstract
Explosive materials undergo rapid chemical reactions, followed by the release of (mostly) gaseous products and heat energy.
The performance of an explosive is most often quantified in terms of released heat energy, detonation velocity, volume of released gases, and pressure generated. The possibility to accurately predict these parameters is essential for designing more efficient explosives.
In this paper, it is shown that using the analytic equation of state for EXP-6 potential fluid, incorporated into the thermochemical code EXPLO5, the detonation velocities and pressures of ideal explosives can be predicted with a maximum error comparable to the measurement errors.
