RESEARCH PROGRAM ON CONVERSION OF EXPLOSIVE ENERGY

Abstract

Efforts have been largely directed toward the analysis of existing data and the construction of equipment for future work. Some of the measured conductivity values have been revised in the light of more complete probe calibration data. A complete tabulation of conductivity probe characteristics is included. New results have consisted of a careful study of the conductivity circuit rise time and the effect of signal cable length and circuit parameters on the observed signal. This has resulted in a considerably greater confidence in the reported conductivity values. However, it has also indicated that the observed signal cannot be interpreted so closely as to yield detailed information on the structure of the reaction zone.
