“…The current Cheetah models of LX-17 detonation includes a chemical kinetic rate model for the decomposition of the explosive as the detonation waves passes through, and keeps all product species, including the carbon condensate as well as the gas species, in chemical equilibrium. The carbon condensate is taken to be a solid mixture of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, roughly based on the nitrogen-rich heterocycle clusters of Manaa et al [21]. All reactions in the product species "freeze-out" below a pressure of around 10 GPa.…”
