SENSITIVITY FUNDAMENTALS.

Abstract

A universal liquid Hugoniot was developed to facilitate estimation of the temperature in the Mach zone behind LVD wavves. The influence of container sonic velocity on LVD gap sensitivity is described in terms of Mach zone decomposition rate ratios. Density measurements as a function of temperature are reported for 1,2-DP, 1,2-DB, IBA, and a 1,2-DP/cyclohexane mixture. Shock reaction times were measured for 1,2-DP, 2,2-DP, and IBA at an initial (unshocked) temperature of 4 C. Preliminary measurements on 1,2-DB and a simulant mixture of 1,2-DP and cyclohexane indicate only a small effect of initial temperature on the reaction time of 1,2-DP. In the dehydrofluorination studies in 30% aqueous diglyme, kinetic data have now been obtained for TMEA and 1,1-DP; inconsistencies in kinetic data reported previously for IBA and 1,2-DP have now been resolved; and 2,2-DP has been shown to be stable in this reaction mixture. The Very Low Pressure Pyrolysis (VLPP) study of alkyl NF materials has continued.
