Abstract

Temperature response model of aluminum particle is developed when single event fuel-air-explosive (PAE) detonates. Expansion process of FAE products is analyzed with KODAK EKTAPRO EM Motion Analyzer. Thermal penetrating depth and its corresponding temperature of aluminum are obtained so as to evaluate ignition possibility of aluminum particle. The results shows that, more thermal energy is absorbed by aluminum particle during expansion process than detonation zone; spherical aluminum particle of diameter 2.2Rm could ignite instantly behind detonation zone; spherical aluminum particle of diameter 9.4Mm could ignite behind detonation zone and expansion process.
