Abstract
IN an ideal detonation in condensed explosives, the relation between the density in the Chapman–Jouguet plane (ρ1) and the initial density of the explosive (ρ0) seems to be a single straight line common to most explosives. Mader1 has calculated ρ1 for a great number of explosives at different values of ρ0 ⩾ 1 g/cm3, using the semi-empirical Becker–Kistiakowsky–Wilson equation of state.
