Abstract:

The object of this work was to apply simple principles of solid state physics to the functional performance of various types of pyrotechnic mixtures. Some of these parameters are particle size, loading densitypressure, and thermal c conductivity. Keywords Thermal conductivity, Particle size, Degree of confinement, Ratio of oxidizer to fuel, Loading densitypressure.
