Implications of fine water mist environment on the post-detonation processes of a PE4 explosive charge in a semi-confined blast chamber
The effects of a fine water mist environment in a semi-confined blast chamber on the chemical and thermodynamic processes following detonation of a 20 g PE4 explosive charge have been investigated. The effects were quantified by the analysis of pressure profiles recorded where several parameters inc...
