Flame Propagation Parameters of Pyrotechnic Delay and Ignition Compositions
Abstract
Heat of explosion, ignition temperature, and McLain Propagation Index, PI, defined as heat of explosion divided by ignition temperature, are correlated for various pyrotechnic delay and ignition compositions. A novel propagation index, described by heat of explosion, ignition temperature, burning rate, and density is proposed as a comparative screening criterion for pyrotechnic compositions.
