Fast Reacting Nano-Composite Energetic Materials: Synthesis and Combustion Characterization

Fast Reacting Nano-Composite Energetic Materials: Synthesis and Combustion Characterization Report Title Energetic composites are mixtures of solid fuel and oxidizer particles that when combined offer higher calorific output than monomolecular explosives. The composites traditionally deliver energy as diffusion limited reactions and thus their power available from reaction is much smaller than ...

Energetic and Exergetic Analysis of Internal Combustion Engine Cogeneration System

In this article, the first and second law analysis of diesel engine based cogeneration system was performed. Fuel utilization efficiency, rate of power, and rate of process heat of the plant were determined and various efficiencies based on both energy and exergy methods and the performance assessment parameters are defined for both the system components and the entire cogeneration plant. The o...

Modeling the Thermal Expansion Boundary Layer During the Combustion of Energetic Materials

An approach is presented for modeling the thermal expansion boundary layer in energetic materials such as solid propellants and explosives during their combustion. A thermodynamically consistent system of conservation laws is presented that describes the thermo-elastic solid with a temperature dependent thermal expansion coefficient in order to study the role of thermal expansion in heat transf...
