Combustion of the Silicon-Red Lead System. Temperature of Burning, Kinetic Analysis and Mathematical Model

摘要

The results of both experimental and theoretical research on the Silicon-Red Lead pyrotechnic sys- tem are reported. The overall aim of the study was to investigate burning temperatures and to model mathematically the combustion behavior of this system. The maximum burning temperatures of various Silicon-Red Lad compositions have been evalu- Ated by means of thermocouples embedded in the burning mixtures. The measured temperature-time Curves were first extrapolated to zero size of the thermocouple junctions and then used for determin- Ing the maximum temperatures of combustion.
