Entropy and the Homogeneity of Solid Mixtures

Abstract

There is a surge of efforts to develop continuous processing techniques for the manufacture of explosives and propellants. A standardized procedure to measure the homogeneity of mixtures produced is required. This paper proposes a new algorithm, based on the concept of entropy, for the calculation of homogeneity of solid mixtures which could be adopted as an industry standard by the scientific community. Homogeneity; Propellants; Explosives.
