"I had a premature detonation".
"It had a controlled detonation which means it would be pretty much intact.
And as we can see, the detonation velocity of sample 3 reduced 200 m/s than other coated samples, indicating that CNT had a significantly effect on detonation performance, which was consistent with the conclusion of thermal analysis.
Oppenheimer's interlocutor, a reporter named William Laurence, also present at the detonation, had a very different reaction.
If depressed, the wooden spike would have struck a highly combustible powder that would have activated a detonation cord, triggering a main charge — a plastic fuel jug packed with homemade explosive — buried deeper underground.
After the second detonation the ship had a 9° list to starboard that gradually increased during the day.
It was all she could do to remember the details of his phone calls, one of which had ended with a detonation so close it had made her cry tearlessly — only for a moment — from sheer startlement.
Such explosives have a low velocity of detonation with an appreciable detonation zone.
However, when the roughness is larger than 0.333, low-velocity behavior plays a dominant role in prohibiting the detonation, which indicates that roughness above a certain level has a negative effect on detonation limits.
Experimental and numerical studies of the detonation in NO2 N2O4/fuel (H2, CH4, and C2H6) gaseous mixtures show that for equivalence ratio Φ>0.8 1, (1) the detonation has a double cellular structure, the ratio between the cell size of each net being at least one order of magnitude; (2) inside the detonation reaction zone the chemical energy is released in two successive exothermic steps.
