“…For example, the addition of 23% boron nanoparticles to hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB)-based solid fuels resulted in a 44% increase in burning rate [18]. Even though boron is beneficial to plants in small quantities, excessive amounts are injurious and even lethal [19].…”

“…The wide application of hexahydro-1, 3, 5-trinitro-1, 3, 5-triazine (RDX) has prompted vigorous efforts to understand and improve its safety [1][2][3][4][5] . Among the factors influencing the safety of explosives (especially RDX), such as physical and chemical structures, charge diameters and density, etc, size and size distribution of explosives particles play a significant role, but the specific influences of size and size distribution on safety properties are unclear 6 .…”

Two kinds of RDX samples, with broad and narrow particle size distribution, have been fabricated by wet riddling and solvent/non-solvent methods, respectively. By controlling the technical condition, the RDX powders with different particle sizes were obtained for each sample. All samples were characterised by laser granularity measurement and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Using mechanical sensitivity tests, slow cook-off test and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), the mechanical safety and thermal stability of RDX samples, depending on the particle sizes and size distribution, were studied. Results indicated that, for each kind of RDX particles, the mechanical sensitivity and thermal stability of samples changed according to the particle size. However, although two samples had almost the same average particle size, their safety changed when two particle size distributions differed. Concretely, the mechanical sensitivity of RDX reduced and their thermal stability increased gradually along with the decreasing of particle size. Meanwhile, RDX with broad size distribution had higher mechanical sensitivity and thermal stability than samples with narrow size distribution.

“…In particular, powders of aluminum are used as materials of high-energy combustible components [1][2][3]. Gas-dynamic dispersion jet of molten metal by ejection-type atomizer is the most common industrial technology of a large number of ways to obtain highly dispersed metal powders [4][5][6][7].…”

Abstract.The physical and mathematical model of the crystallization process of liquid aluminum particles in the spray-jet of the ejection-type atomizer was proposed. The results of mathematical modeling of two-phase flow in the spray-jet and the crystallization process of fluid particles are given. The influence of the particle size, of the flow rate and the stagnation temperature gas in the ranges of industrial technology implemented for the production of powders aluminum of brands ASD, on the crystallization characteristics were investigated. The approximations of the characteristics of the crystallization process depending on the size of the aluminum particles on the basis of two approaches to the mathematical description of the process of crystallization of aluminum particles were obtained. The results allow to optimize the process parameters of ejection-type atomizer to produce aluminum particles with given morphology.
