Thermal Conductivity of Pax 2A Explosive by DSC

Abstract

A technique to determine the coefficient of thermal conductivity by Differential Thermal Calorimetry (DSC) was developed. The thermal conductivity for teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene), high melt explosive (HMX), and PAX-2A explosive were determined. The thermal conductivity values determined for teflon and HMX agree with those found in literature; whereas, the value for PAX-2A was determined to be 14.26 + or - 0.26 x 10 (exp-4) calories/cm-s-deg C.
