Explanation

explosive mixture composed of solid, liquid, gaseous or mixed state fuel (combustible agent) and air (oxidizer). The ignition energy required by the fuel used shall be low, and it is easy to reach explosion concentration when mixed with air phase, with a wide range of explosion concentration and high calorific value. At present, liquid fuels are mainly used, including ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, nitromethane, propyl nitrate, hydrazine nitrate, dimethyl hydrazine, etc; Solid fuels include solid combustible agent and solid monomer explosive; Gaseous fuels include methane, propane, ethylene, and acetylene, but are often compressed into liquid form for use. It can fully utilize the oxygen in the atmosphere, thus greatly improving the energy per unit mass charge. For example, the energy released during ethylene oxide oxygen detonation is 4-5 times higher than that of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene with equal mass. When in use, the fuel is loaded into the bomb and sent to the target for detonation. The fuel is scattered into the air to form a gasification cloud. The secondary ignition causes detonation in the cloud occurrence area, producing high temperature (about 2500 ° C) fireballs and overpressure detonation waves. At the same time, an oxygen deficient area (oxygen content in the air decreases by 8% -12%) is formed in the explosion action area, which can damage large white facilities and buildings and cause casualties. Due to the distribution of explosion, the area of casualties and damage is large and shrouded, which can destroy targets that cannot be destroyed by ordinary ammunition - and can produce certain suffocation. It creates a way for conventional weapons to reduce mass and improve explosion power. Used for loading cluster bombs, aviation bombs, anti-ship missiles, underwater weapons, and rocket launchers.
