Single Ignition Fae Liquid-solid Composite Fuel Performance Research

In this paper, the properties of several composites of Single Event Fuel Air Explosive (SEFAE) and their components were mainly investigated. Energy output characteristics of SEFAE composites were studied by the method of underwater explosion. Thermal decomposition properties of SEFAE composites and their components were also studied with Accelerating Rate Calorimeter (ARC). The main researches were as follows: By the underwater test results of condensed explosive, the optimized test conditions and the several calibration parameters for energy calculation were determined in a small pool. By the underwater test results of aluminized explosive, the influence of aluminum specification (shape and size) on the energy output of corresponding aluminized explosive was investigated, which is of valuable reference to the composite design of related explosives. Energy output characteristics of SEFAE composites were investigated by underwater explosion. The properties of eight SEFAE composites were assessed. Thermal analysis experiments of SEFAE composites and their components were performed with ARC. Their thermodynamics and kinetics parameters were derived, which was comprised with the result of a maturely used composite. The compatibilities of their components of three SEFAE composites were analyzed.
