A thermodynamic analysis on mixing progress of molten aluminum and water

In order to understand the explosion character of molten aluminum and water, a preliminary analysis has been taken to their premixing stage by laws of thermodynamics. The analysis results show that, under standard conditions the specific energy of water and corresponding energy conversion raised, with increasing of the mass ratio of molten aluminum and water in the premixing stage. However, while the initial conditions or the temperature of melt being altered, the variation trend of specific energy of water and energy conversion still keeps constant. Even when mass ratio of molten aluminum and water m_Al/m_w is approach to 0 and melt is in form of drop, the energy conversion η can be linear relation with m_Al/m_w.
