Predicting adiabatic exponent as one of the important factors in evaluating detonation performance

A new correlation is given to estimate the Chapman-Jouguet adiabatic (gamma) exponent, gCJ, as a criterion for choice among conflicting detonation pressure measurements at any loading densities, greater as well as less than 1 g/cc. The gCJ value obtained by new correlation is relatively insensitive...

Description
Summary:A new correlation is given to estimate the Chapman-Jouguet adiabatic (gamma) exponent, gCJ, as a criterion for choice among conflicting detonation pressure measurements at any loading densities, greater as well as less than 1 g/cc. The gCJ value obtained by new correlation is relatively insensitive to elemental composition and is primarily a function of loading density. Calculated gCJ by this procedure shows good agreement with respect to corresponding measured values as compared to complicated computer code BKW-EOS as well as reported empirical methods.
