Abstract

The equilibrium states of KNO3/C6H5NO3/NC composition were calculated in least free-energy principle. The feasibility of new igniting charge substituting for black powder were disscussed from decomposition process, sensitivity and combustion property. Compared with black powder, impact, friction and electrostatic sensitivities of KNO3/C6H5NO3/NC composition decreased obviously. Combustion heat and working capabilities were increased by about 57% and 40%, respectively. Its use in central tube ignition system show that the peak value of in-bore pressure wave is about -20 MPa, and the interior ballistic properties are improved evidently.
