Abstract
An earlier paper^(1)^ described a simple linear relationship between detonation velocity of 64 ideal C,H,N,O type explosives at their theoretical maximum densities (TMD's) and a factor. F, that is dependent solely upon chemical composition and structure. Based upon available experimental data for nine fluorineβcontaining explosives, the equation for calculating the factor has been expanded to include compositional terms for fluorinated compounds. In addition, the reliability of the linear relationship has been further tested against seven more recently published C,H,N,O type explosive experimental detonation velocity data points. The calculated detonation velocity values for all 16 explosives lie within 6.0% of experimental with an absolute error of Β± 3.0%.

Olefinic concentrates were separated from two naphthas, one from fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) and one thermal crackate, using column chromatography. The composition and structure of the olefins were determined by a combination of analytical techniques. FCC naphthas contain relatively higher levels
