Three Important Refinements of the Condensed Matter Detonation Theory

Abstract

Some sections of the theory of shock-wave processes in condensed media require substantial refinement. From a detailed analysis of the concept of heat of reaction, it follows that the three known heats of reaction characterize the same transformation of the reacting medium from three different sides. When considering the flows of a reacting medium, it is necessary to take into account turbulence and its changes as an analogue of thermal motion and physicochemical transformations of matter. Based on the analysis of the results of a unique experiment, it was concluded that the deformation of the condensed medium is a factor that determines the reaction rate along with temperature.
