Energetic Materials Paper

Order Description Empire State College Mentor Gennaro Bonfiglio Hazardous Materials and Public Awareness Energetic Materials Paper Your final element in the BNICE spectrum is explosives, or energetic materials. We are constrained by how deep we can go into the subject, due to their penchant to explode. Hands on exercises are strictly forbidden. Therefore, this research paper will ask you to conduct independent study and discover information about energetic materials, which you will report back to me. You will have three weeks to conclude your research, answer the following questions and email your work back: 1. Define deflagration, detonation, low order explosion and high order explosions. 2. Differentiate and identify examples of pyrotechnics, propellants and high explosives. 3. Explain how fuels, oxidizers and heat interact to produce an explosive event. 4. Compare and contrast the 5 stimuli that can be used to release energy from energetic materials. 5. Identify the 3 forms of energy released during explosive and incendiary events. 6. Explain the role of a firing train in producing an explosive event, 7. Identify and explain the following terms: shock wave, shock front, velocity and brisance.
