Energy Conversion Processes at a High-Voltage Electrochemical Explosion in Limited Volumes

Abstract

Based on the experimental studies of the energy characteristics of a high-voltage electrochemical explosion (HVEE) in limited volumes, the use of a combined parameter γ that takes into account the characteristics of a limited volume, which, along with the electrophysical quantities E₀ and ω_τ, determines the value of the specific energy efficiency μ of the exothermic compound during the HVEE in limited volumes, i.e., μ = f (ω_τ, E₀, γ), is proposed and proven. The general dependence of the relative value of the specific energy efficiency μ/μ₀ of the chosen exothermic compound during the HVEE in limited volume on the combined parameter γ is established and can be used in the calculation of the combined energy source with respect to the requirements of a particular technology.
