Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive study of explosive reactions at the interface of chemical transformations and thermodynamics. The author traces the historical evolution of explosives, from the earliest pyrotechnics to the modern high explosives used in warfare and industry. Drawing on the principles of thermochemistry, the book elucidates the role of molecular work, heat liberation, and maximum work in determining the force and effects of explosive reactions. The author examines the properties and applications of various explosive mixtures, including nitrate and chlorate-based compositions. Particular attention is given to explosive compounds, such as nitro-substitution products, nitric esters, fulminates, and smokeless powders. These substances are analyzed in terms of their chemical composition, stability, and explosive characteristics. This book not only provides a thorough understanding of the scientific principles underlying explosive reactions but also highlights the importance of these reactions in shaping human history and technological development. It is an invaluable resource for researchers, engineers, and anyone interested in the fascinating world of explosives.
