A Treatise on Impulse Values of Pure Explosives

Lemi Turker

Specific impulse is an important property of propellants, which are a kind of explosive (energetic materials) or explosive mixture. Based on some physical principles and mathematics, a formula for the specific impulse values of pure explosives has been derived. Inspection of the formula on the relative bases (relative to the specific impulse value of HMX) revealed that it is an upper bound as long as the molecular weight is less than ca. 276, thereafter, approximately equal or slightly deviates from the relative specific impulse values excerpted from the literature.
