Experimental and numerical investigations of the effect of charge density and scale on the heat transfer behavior of Al/CuO nano-thermite

Yueting Wang et al.

Summary: The experimental and theoretical results indicate that gas flow seepage is a critical factor affecting the heat transfer process of Al/CuO nano-thermite in burn tubes, leading to a decrease in propagation velocity with increasing charge density. Introducing a certain amount of NC into the component can improve reactivity and increase gas production and pressurization capacity, significantly enhancing the propagation velocity of Al/CuO nanothermite under constraint conditions. Additionally, the increase in relative heat loss with decreasing tube diameter is the main reason for the decrease in propagation velocity, and the dimensionless parameter theta can be used to analyze the heat loss coefficient under different charge diameters.

Unexpected enhanced reactivity of aluminized nanothermites by accelerated aging

Probing boron thermite energy release at rapid heating rates

Summary: Boron is a promising fuel for energetic materials due to its high energy density when combined with CuO and Bi2O3 in thermite reactions. The application of LASEM technique has enabled the quantification of energy release and excitation temperatures of B/metal oxide samples on microsecond and millisecond timescales. The enhancement of ignition in these composites contributes to the early-time energy release, as shown by relative measurements in agreement with bomb calorimetry and DSC analysis. Additionally, the strong affinity of CuO for both B and Bi2O3 leads to a synergetic enhancement effect in the binary metal oxide mixture.

Summary: This study investigates the tunability of I2O5 based nanothermites by exploring various fuel compositions, demonstrating how the combustion properties can be adjusted by changing the composition of ternary systems.

This research provides a new approach to tune the reactivity and energy release rate of I2O5 based nanothermites without affecting energy density.
