Parametric Studies of Pyrotechnic Materials by Bomb Calorimetry

Abstract

A series of tests were performed in a large bomb calorimeter using four sulfur-based colored-smoke compositions. It was found that (1) energy output increases with decreasing sample density, (2) violet smoke is more energetic than the other colored-smoked mixes, and (3) the energy output increases significantly with increased ambient pressure.
