Volume and Pressure Dependence of Some Kinetic Processes in Explosives,
Abstract
Qualitative formulae are developed which describe the volume and pressure dependence of certain kinetic processes thought to occur in explosives. The volume and pressure dependences of the monomolecular, bond breaking, process and of one possible bimolecular reaction process are specifically described and the possible relationship between these processes and explosive phenomena, such as explosion time, are discussed. An additional investigation is made into the possible influence of wall catalyzed reactions on the detonation process. It is concluded that this latter effect is probably unimportant.
