Thermal Decomposition of Explosives Below the Melting Point USSR.
Abstract
Upon investigation of the thermal decomposition of tetryl below the melting point Farmer showed that the condensed products of the decomposition reaction of tetryl dissolve it. Then Hinshelwood developed a mathematical analysis for a decomposition reaction taking into account the appearance of a liquid phase in the process of decomposition. However, in deriving the equation. Hinshelwood made assumptions which mutually excluded one another. Thus, calculating the ratio of the solid and the liquid phases in the decomposition process, he assumed (according to Recult's law) that at constant temperature the concentrations of material in the liquid phase, being in equilibrium with the solid phase, are constant. Also, calculating the concentration of catalyst in the liquid phase.
