The importance of determining the volume of activation in chemical kinetic studies of the shock initiation of explosives is emphasized. Volumes of activation and energies of activation are calculated, utilizing existing thermal ignition-time data for shocked nitromethane. Two important conclusions a

The probability of the shock initiation of a number of explosives under various conditions to projectile impact has been assessed. An outline is given of the curvent theory of shock initiation and the experimental results obtained are discussed in the light of this theory. It is shown that the prese
The effects of compressive waves propagating ahead of stronger shock waves in a granular explosive have been investigated experimentally. In particular, the propagation and growth of 5.0 GPa shocks preceded by either a 3.2 GPa shock or a 2.0 GPa ramp wave having a 0.6/as rise time were examined in t
It has been shown that, provided the pressure is not too high, variation of the loading density varies the linear burning rate but the mass burning rut,' remains essentially constant and the burning is quite slow and steady. Czne photographs have shown that a melting stage occurs during the burning
Evidence is assembled to show that a common mechanism in coal pyrolysis is the explosive ejection of gas, fluid and/or solid as the result of build up of internal pressure and its sudden release by mechanical failure. Individual particles of swelling coal in the pulverized fuel range become fluid dr
