Turboblasting explosive charges. III: Profile of the detonation reaction path

The detonation of individual solid explosives of CaHbOcNd type is described by introducing the concept of a nonthermal potential as the sum of several types of energy - chemical energy, elastic compression, the electron state of the molecules, and the kinetic energy of the flux. Graphs of the variation in the nonthermal potential and the internal energy of the substance, the kinetic energy of the flux, and the pressure in the head region of the detonation wave right up to the Chapman-Jouguet plane are plotted. The relations between the various types of works performed at the shock front are calculated.
