Abstract
Abstract The thermal decomposition behaviors of 4,10-dinitro-2,6,8,12-tetraoxa-4,10-diazaisowutrzitane (TEX) were studied by using a C-500 type Calvet microcalorimeter at five heating rates. The kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of exothermic decomposition reaction were obtained. The specific heat capacity of TEX was determined with a Micro-DSC III calorimeter, the specific heat capacity equation and the molar specific heat capacity were also obtained. The self-accelerating decomposition temperature, adiabatic decomposition temperature rise, and critical temperature of thermal explosion are 512.69, 7115.59, and 527.42 K, respectively. The adiabatic time-to-explosion is calculated to be a certain value between 53.69 and 54.05 s.
