Introduction

The compilation of equetions of s t a t e f o r high explosives now includes

some 38 e n t r i e s . Additions and r e v i s i o n s have r e c e n t l y introduced e r r o r s i n
the l i s t i r g s . To avoid t r a n s c r i b i n g e r r o r s , we have computerized t h e l i s t
and w i l l i s s u e computer updates p e r i o d i c a l l y .

Previous l i s t s should be discarded. If you are maintaining equation

of s t a t e f i l e s f o r hydrodynamic codes and would l i k e I B M card r e c o r d s of our
l i s t s , we w i l l be happy t o send you a copy of our card deck. W e have noted
t h o s e e n t r i e s where changes o r c o r r e c t i o n s have been made. O f s p e c i a l note
f o r t h i s update are t h e c o r r e c t i o n s t o PBX-9404 and IX-04 from t h e most r e c e n t

The Jones-Wilkins-Lee (JWL) equation of s t a t e has been used t o a c c u r a t e l y

p l o s i v e s i n metal a c c e l e r a t i o n a p p l i c a t i o n s . The equation i s :

p = A (1 - A)

The equation f o r P a s a f u n c t i o n of V a t constant entropy, i . e . , t h e isentrope, I s

= A e -R 1V + Be-R2V + CV- ( w + 1)

where :
V = (volume of detonation products)/( volume undetonated explosive)
P = p r e s s u r e i n megabars
E = energy i n ~b cc/cc
A l i m i t e d number of explosives have been subjected t o a rigorous comparison i n
which c o e f f i c i e n t s are determined by matching t h e equation with experimental C - J
conditions, c a l o r i m e t r i c d a t a , and expansion behavior -- g e n e r a l l y cylinder t e s t
