WASTE HEAT IN LIQUID SPHERICAL BURSTERS

Abstract

Special Technical Report No. 3 (hereafter referred to as STR-3) dealt with energy loss through shock heating in a bomblet with an explosive radius of 1.6 cm and an outer liquid radius of 3.85 cm. Detailed calculations were made for glycerin, water, and ethyl ether; the first and last representing practical extremes in the mechanics of organic liquid behavior. In this supplement, attention is focused on the effects of changing burster size. The validity of linear scaling is examined and is found to be adequate to burster radii of 2.56 cm. New equations of state are used for the three liquids mentioned above, and the sensitivity of waste heat to changes in equation of state is examined.
