The word "explosive" can be defined as a "chemical compound that can be ignited by friction, heat, shock or impact when detonated to release rapid heat and pressurized gas."... The contents of explosives are classified as: Explosive Bases - a liquid or solid compound that break down rapidly into gaseous products and heat energy upon application of shock or heat. ... In the confined black powder, pressure and heat increases and since the gases, pressure and heat cannot escape, and the intensity of the combustion rapidly increases. ... In the front of detonation region, a shock wave or an ener...

Some of these processes include real fluid behavior, expansion wave propagation, heat transfer, multi-phase pipe/wall friction, and the swiftly declining dynamic loading effects as the tip of the crack opens. ... And the heat transfer between the trapped fluid and pipe wall is over simplified. ... In this study, a more complex heat transfer model will be developed. And the natural and forced convection of the released fluid will be applied to pipe wall heat transfer condition. ... In the model, heat transfer coefficients are effectively estimated from extant literature. ...
