CHNO Energetic Polymer Specific Heat Prediction From The Proposed Nominal/Generic (N/G) CP Concept

Abstract

The importance of the specific heat (Cp) of CHNO energetic polymers relative to their impact shock sensitivity has been documented in MICOM TR-RD-SS-95-2, AMCOM TR-KD-SS-99-8, and RDECOM TR- AMR-SS-06-09. A follow-on-report, RDECOM TR-AMR-SS-06-35, documents a proposed nominal/generic (N/G) Cp for CHNO energetic materials. The motivation for this proposed N/G Cp was it's utilization to predict Cp for energetic polymers whose Cp was unknown. This report documents the successful application of the N/G Cp concept to predict the Cp for a relatively new CHNO explosive, FOX-7.
