Performance Study of Energetic Compound 2,4,6-Trinitro-1,3,5-triazine

Abstract

2,4,6-Trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (TNTA) is an ultrahigh performance explosive with high density. Detonation pressure and velocity of TNTA at various loading densities are compared with RDX (cyclomethylene trinitramine) be some empirical and semiempirical methods. Relative specific impulse of TNTA with respect of HMX (cyclotetramethylene tetranitramine) is also calculated by simple method assuming the gaseous products are limited to CO, CO₂, H₂O, N₂ and H₂.
