CALCULATION OF COMPOSITION AND THERMODYNAMIC FUNCTIONS OF EXPLOSION PRODUCTS OF CONDENSED EXPLOSIVES N. M. Kuznetsov, V. E. Okunev, and V. M. Popov UDC 534.222.2 The calculation of chemical composition is the most difficult part in the complete thermodynamic characterization of the products of explosion of condensed explosives. Unlike the pressure and density, the composition of a gas is experimentally determined under calorimetric conditions at low pressures and tem- peratures and not at the Jouguet point. The composition, thus determined, actually corresponds to the time of chemical tempering that depends on the mass coordinates of the expanding products of explosion. The compositions of gases in the neighborhood of the Jouguet point and at the moment of quenching can certainly differ. Information regarding the equilibrium composition of a gas is necessary to calculate the heat of ex- plosion as a function of the thermodynamic state of the products. Besides, the calculation of gas composi- tion is a necessary step in the subsequent thermodynamic method of constructing the equations of state of the explosionproduets which is not based on the use of experimental gasdynamic data of detonating waves. For calculating the equilibrium gas composition, in principle, it is sufficient to know the thermody- namic functions of individual components, energies of breaking the chemical bonds, and variation of thermo- dynamic fuctions in mixing the components. The thermodynamic functions of individual components are de- termined either on the basis of impact compressibility and calculations in approximations of the theory of free volume [1, 2], or with the help of Virial series for pressure. The first method is applied when the den- sities are high (p > P0, where P0 is the density- of the condensed phase under normal conditions), and the sec- ond method of Virial series is applied when the gas is sufficiently rarefied (p <<P0)- In calculating a composition it is normally assumed that the energy of breaking the chemical bonds does not depend on density and that the variation of thermodynamic functions in mixing the components is determined with the help of some approximate rule, for example, presuming the additiveness of volumes [1]. The higher the density of the explosion products, the more difficult it is to evaluate the errors that originate due to such assumptions in determining their composition and thermodynamic functions, Nevertheless, even when p > P0 the results of calculation of the thermodynamic functions show satisfactory agreement with ex- perimental gasdynamic data of detonating waves [1]. At the present moment, in view of the successful applications of the statistical theory" of single-com- ponent dense gases, there is a possibility of calculating the composition and thermodynamic functions of explosion products, when p~ P0. With such values of density one can accept the energies of breaking the bond of an ideal gas as the actual values (with substantially higher reliability than in the case of large com- pressions). When p _<P0, the effective radius of short-range reciprocal forces that are responsible for chemical bonds of atoms in molecules is an order less than the mean distance between the molecules, and, consequently, the energies of breaking the Chemical bonds differ negligibly from their "ideal" values. It is known that with such densities the energy of molecular interaction of van tier Waals type is also almost an order tess than the energies of breaking the chemical bonds. Therefore, it is sufficient to con- sider the forces of molecular interaction approximately, using any of the known potential models. The rules Moscow.

The calculat ion of chemica l compos i t ion is the mos t difficult pa r t in the comple te the rmodynamic cha rac t e r i za t ion of the products of explosion of condensed explos ives . Unlike the p r e s s u r e and density, the composi t ion of a gas is exper imenta l ly de te rmined under c a l o r i m e t r i c conditions at low p r e s s u r e s and t e m - p e r a t u r e s and not at the Jouguet point. The composi t ion, thus de termined, actual ly co r responds to the t ime of chemica l t emper ing that depends on the mass coordinates of the expanding products of explosion. The composi t ions of gases in the neighborhood of the Jouguet point and at the moment of quenching can cer ta in ly differ.

Information regard ing the equi l ibr ium composi t ion of a gas is n e c e s s a r y to calculate the heat of ex- plosion as a function of the the rmodynamic s ta te of the products . Besides , the calculat ion of gas compos i - tion is a n e c e s s a r y step in the subsequent the rmodynamic method of construct ing the equations of s ta te of the explos ionproduets which is not based on the use of exper imenta l gasdynamic data of detonating waves .

For calculat ing the equi l ibr ium gas composit ion, in pr inciple , it is sufficient to know the t he rmody- namic functions of individual components , energ ies of breaking the chemica l bonds, and var ia t ion of t h e r m o - dynamic fuctions in mixing the components . The the rmodynamic functions of individual components a r e de- t e rmined e i ther on the bas i s of impact c o m p r e s s i b i l i t y and calculat ions in approximat ions of the theory of f r ee volume [1, 2], or with the help of Vir ia l s e r i e s for p r e s s u r e . The f i r s t method is applied when the den- s i t ies a re high (p > P0, where P0 is the density- of the condensed phase under no rma l conditions), and the s e c - ond method of Vi r ia l s e r i e s is applied when the gas is suff iciently r a r e f i e d (p <<P0)-

In calculat ing a composi t ion it is normal ly a s sumed that the energy of breaking the chemica l bonds does not depend on densi ty and that the var ia t ion of the rmodynamic functions in mixing the components is de te rmined with the help of some approx imate ru le , for example , p re suming the addit iveness of vo lumes [1]. The higher the densi ty of the explosion products , the m o r e difficult i t is to evaluate the e r r o r s that or ig inate due to such assumpt ions in de te rmin ing the i r composi t ion and the rmodynamic functions, Never the les s , even when p > P0 the r e su l t s of calculat ion of the the rmodynamic functions show sa t i s f ac to ry ag reemen t with ex- p e r i m e n t a l gasdynamic data of detonating waves [1].

At the p re sen t moment , in view of the success fu l applications of the s ta t i s t i ca l theory" of s i n g l e - c o m - ponent dense gases , the re is a poss ibi l i ty of calculat ing the composi t ion and the rmodynamic functions of explosion products , when p~ P0. With such values of densi ty one can accept the energies of b reak ing the bond of an ideal gas as the actual values (with substant ia l ly higher re l iab i l i ty than in the case of l a rge com- p res s ions ) . When p _< P0, the effect ive radius of s h o r t - r a n g e r e c i p r o c a l fo rces that a r e respons ib le for chemica l bonds of a toms in molecules is an o rder less than the mean dis tance between the molecules , and, consequently, the energ ies of b reak ing the Chemical bonds di f fer negligibly f rom thei r " ideal" values .

It is known that with such dens i t ies the energy of mo lecu la r in terac t ion of van t ier Waals type is also a lmos t an o rde r tess than the energ ies of b reak ing the chemica l bonds. There fo re , it is sufficient to con- s ide r the fo rces of mo lecu la r in terac t ion approximate ly , using any of the known potential models . The ru l e s

of de te rmin ing the the rmodynamic functions of mixing have been studied be t t e r under the condition p_~ P0, pa r t i cu l a r ly i~ supe rc r i t i c a l t e m p e r a - tu re f ields [3, 4], than in the field of l a rge compres s ions .

In the p re sen t a r t i c l e the method of calculat ing the composi t ion and the rmodynamic functions of reac t ing gases , when p <~P0 is being r e - ported. The actual calculat ions have been ca r r i ed out fo r the products of detonation of Hexogen. The f r ee energy of individual components has been calculated on the bas is of the Rowlinson method [5, 6] of h i g h - t e m p e r a - tu re approximat ion with Lennard-Jones potential of molecu la r in te rac - tion.

The l i t e ra ture shows var ious p a r a m e t e r s of I ~ n n a r d - J o n e s poten- t ial obtained by dif ferent methods (on the basis of Vi r ia l coefficients of gases , t he rmodynamic p r o p e r t i e s of c r y s t a l s , t r a n s f e r coeff icients , method

of mo lecu la r beams , etc.), which do not ag ree well with one another . The mos t na tura l way to calculate the the rmodynamic functions of gases is to use the p a r a m e t e r s obtained by the f i r s t of the above-ment ioned methods. The in terac t ion of dipole molecules of wa te r should not be modelled by some d i p a r a m e t e r poten- t ia l in the context of such a wide range of t he rmodynamic var iab le s and with the s a m e degree of accu racy that can be obtained for the s imp le s t molecules having no constant dipole moment . Since the method that will be subsequently applied to the calculat ions is essen t ia l ly connected with the applicat ion of Lennard- Jones potential , the s a m e potent ial was used to ca lcula te the the rmodynamic functions of water . To de- s c r i b e the the rmodynamic p r o p e r t i e s of wa t e r in a be t te r way, the cold and only dens i ty-dependent compo-

v nents of energy E o = - - f PodV and p r e s s u r e P0 were taken into account,

After c a r ry ing out the numer i ca l ca lcula t ion of the composi t ion and the rmodynamic functions of explosion products of Hexogen with va r i ab l e p a r a m e t e r s A and m , a c o m p a r i s o n was made with the r e - sul ts given in [8]. The values of m and A found by that method were equal to 1.5 and 18.103 a tm, r e s p e c - t ively.

The concentra t ion of undetermined a tomic oxygen is max imum, where N / V L = 100 and T = 4500°K, and is equal to 5 • 10 -3. It is evident f r o m Table 2 that in the case of sufficiently good approximat ion xo2 may not be considered.

The comple te s y s t e m of equations de te rmin ing the equi l ibr ium values of re la t ive concentra t ions x i of the above-ment ioned nine components at a given t e m p e r a t u r e and p a r t i c l e - n u m b e r densi ty N/VL includes the equation of normal iz ing , th ree equations of maintaining the re la t ive composi t ion of the e lements N, O, C, and H, and the equation [Eq. (4)] for f ive independent reac t ions . This s y s t e m of equations was solved numer ica l ly by the method of Newtonian i te ra t ion . The f r ee energy, p r e s s u r e , and composi t ion of the gas were calculated at the t e m p e r a t u r e s 1500 °, 2000 °, 2500 °, 3000 °, 4000 °, and 4500°K and "dens i t ies" N/VL= 100,200, 400, 600, 800, and 1000. The r e s u l t s of calcula t ions a re given in Tables 2 and 3 and Figs. 1 and 2.

The e r r o r s in the ca lcula t ions of the concentra t ions of components a r e caused by the e r r o r s of using the reac t ion potent ia l and i ts p a r a m e t e r s and a lso by the e r r o r s of approximat ion (1). The evaluat ions show that the indefini teness of the p a r a m e t e r s of the reac t ion potential r e su l t s in an e r r o r of about 5% for all the components and of about 10% for H20 in the concentra t ion calculat ion. The e r r o r s assoc ia ted with the inac- curacy of the model of the potent ial i tself , as well as with the averaging (1), a re difficult to evaluate. Thei r magni tude, however , d e c r e a s e s with i nc rea se in t e m p e r a t u r e , and apparent ly at t e m p e r a t u r e s of the o rde r of 1000°K the total e r r o r in the de te rmina t ion of composi t ion is c lose to what has been given above.

Simi lar calculat ions were a lso ca r r i ed out for an ideal gas. Qualitatively, the dependence of compos i - tion on t e m p e r a t u r e and density is the s ame as in the case of an ideal gas. The concentra t ions of molecules with la rge bond energy (CO 2 and N2) i nc rea se with d e c r e a s e in t e m p e r a t u r e . Inc rease in densi ty at i so- t h e r m s re su l t s in the inc rease of re la t ive concentra t ions of polyatomic components . However, the quanti- ta t ive d i f fe rence between the r e a l and ideal gases va r i e s f rom a few pe rcen t at N / V L = 100 to tens of p e r - cent at N /VL=400 . Such a d i f ference leads to a significant var ia t ion of in ternal energy and other t h e r m o - dynamic functions of a gas.

The r e su l t s of calculat ions were compared only with the calculat ions of equi l ibr ium composi t ion of explosion products of Hexogen ca r r i ed out by Cook [19] by the phenomenological method based on the ap- pl icat ion of veloci ty of detonation waves . The data in Table 2 ag ree with [19] with s a t i s f ac to ry accu racy only for XN2 (the d i f fe rence being about 1.5%). For the r emain ing components at c e r t a in t e m p e r a t u r e s and densi t ies the d i f ference in the values of XH20, X c o , and x H is 10%, and the d i f ference for xCO " is 30-40%. Such a d i f fe rence can be due to the fac t that the exper imenta l data used in the phenomenologica~ method [19] a re g ro s s ty insufficient for formulat ing the s y s t e m of equations that unequivocally de t e rmines the equil ib- r i u m composi t ion of a gas. A closed s y s t e m of equations has been obtained in [19] by using additional a s - sumptions that a r e not unequivocally connected with cer ta in exper imen ta l facts .

Thus, a method has been developed to calcula te the equi l ibr ium composi t ion and the rmodynamic func- t ions of reac t ing nonionized gas mix tures , when p_< P0. The method is based on the use of Lennard - Jones reac t ion potent ials and the Rowlinson h igh - t empe ra tu r e approximat ion for the equation of s ta te of individual components . The composi t ion, p r e s s u r e , and f r ee energy of detonation products of Hexogen at the t e m p e r a - tu res 1500°-4500°K and densi t ies 0.1-1.0 g / c m 3 have been calculated.
