AN OVERVIEW OF OPTICAL AND THERMOELECTRICAL SYSTEMS DETECTING MOVEMENT OF COMBUSTION ZONES IN SOLID EXPLOSIVES
Journal Title: Problemy Techniki Uzbrojenia - Year 2017, Vol 141, Issue 1
Abstract
In this contribution author did a general overview of works [1-7], in which he participated, describing non-invasive systems on detection of movement of combustion fronts in solid end-burning explosive materials – rocket propellants and pyrotechnic compositions - inserted into tube combustion chambers. The systems are used to measure linear burning velocity of tested explosives. Detecting systems, the author has contributed to as well, concerned the application of pyrolitic graphite (pyrographite) as structural and sensory material of combustive chambers and one of devices detecting the displacement of the burning front i.e. an IR or VIS camera or thermocouples. The review has been made in the background of other systems using optical detectors [8-12] or thermocouples [13-21].
