NuclearMain terms Nuclear explosion and make of nuclear explosions In addendum to stellar nuclear explosions, a man- do nuclear ordnance is a type of detonative weapon that derives its destructive force from nuclear fission or from a combining of fission and fusion. As a result, even a nuclear weapon with a sm on the whole weaken is significantly more than mesomorphic than the largest conventional detonatives available, with a single weapon capable of completely destroying an perfect city. Properties of explosionsForceExplosive force is released in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the explosive. If the surface is cut or shaped, the explosive forces can be focus to produce a greater local effect this is known as a shaped charge.VelocityThis article is written like a personal reflection or credit essay rather than an encyclopaedic description of the subject. Pleasehelp improve it by rewriting it in an encyclopedic style. (May 2013) The step on it of the repl y is what distinguishes the explosive reply from an ordinary fire answer . Un slight the reaction occurs rapidly, the thermally expanded gases lead be dissipated in the medium, and there will be no explosion. Again, consider a woodwind or coal fire. As the fire burns, there is the evolution of arouse and the formation of gases, but neither is libe strayd rapidly becoming to cause an explosion. This can be likened to the difference between the zip prodigalener exculpate of a battery, which is slow, and that of a shoot down capacitor like that in a camera flash, which releases its energy all at once.Evolution of rageThe generation of rouse in large quantities accompanies most explosive chemical reactions. The exceptions be called entropic explosives and take organic peroxides such as acetone peroxide2 It is the rapid liberation of disturb up that causes the gaseous products of most explosive reactions to expand and generate naughty pressures. This rapid generation of advanced pressures of the released gas constitutes the explosion. The liberation of heat with short rapidity will non cause an explosion. For example,although a unit mass of coal yields five generation as much heat as a unit mass of nitroglycerin, the coal cannot be apply as an explosive because the rate at which it yields this heat is quite slow. In fact, a substance which burns less rapidly (i.e. slow blaze) may actually evolve more total heat than an explosive which detonates rapidly (i.e. fast combustion).In the former, slow combustion converts more of the internal energy (i.e.chemical potential) of the burning substance into heat released to the surroundings, plot of land in the latter, fast combustion (i.e. detonation) instead converts more internal energy into work on the surroundings (i.e. less internal energy converted into heat) c.f. heat and work (thermodynamics) are equivalent forms of energy. See hotness of Combustion for a more thorough treatment of this topi c. When a chemical escalate is formed from its constituents, heat may either be absorbed or released. The quantity of heat absorbed or presumption off during transformation is called the heat of formation.Heats of formations for solids and gases found in explosive reactions have been determined for a temperature of 25 C and atmospheric pressure, and are normally given in units of kilojoules per gram-molecule. A negative value indicates that heat is absorbed during the formation of the compound from its elements such a reaction is called an endothermic reaction. In explosive engineering science only materials that are exoergicthat have a net liberation of heatare of interest. reaction heat is measured chthonic conditions either of constant pressure or constant volume. It is this heat of reaction that may be the right way expressed as the heat of explosion.Initiation of reactionA chemical explosive is a compound or diverseness which, upon the application of heat or shock, deco mposes or rearranges with extreme rapidity, yielding much gas and heat. Many substances not ordinarily classed as explosives may do one, or even two, of these things. A reaction must be capable of being initiated by the application of shock, heat, or a accelerator pedal (in the case of some explosive chemical reactions) to a small portion of the mass of the explosive material. A material in which the source three factors exist cannot be accepted as an explosive unless the reaction can be made to occur when needed.FragmentationFragmentation is the accumulation and projection of particles as the result of a high explosives detonation. Fragments could be part of a structure such as a magazine. High velocity, low topple fragments can travel hundreds or thousands of feet with enough energy to initiate other surrounding high explosive items, injure or polish personnel and damage vehicles or structures.

As a result, even a nuclear weapon with a small yield is significantly more powerful than the largest conventional explosives available, with a single weapon capable of completely destroying an entire city.

Unless the reaction occurs rapidly, the thermally expanded gases will be dissipated in the medium, and there will be no explosion. Again, consider a wood or coal fire. As the fire burns, there is the evolution of heat and the formation of gases, but neither is liberated rapidly enough to cause an explosion. This can be likened to the difference between the energy discharge of a battery, which is slow, and that of a flash capacitor like that in a camera flash, which releases its energy all at once.Evolution of heatThe generation of heat in large quantities accompanies most explosive chemical reactions. The exceptions are called entropic explosives and include organic peroxides such as acetone peroxide2 It is the rapid liberation of heat that causes the gaseous products of most explosive reactions to expand and generate high pressures. This rapid generation of high pressures of the released gas constitutes the explosion. The liberation of heat with insufficient rapidity will not cause an explosion. For example, although a unit mass of coal yields five times as much heat as a unit mass of nitroglycerin, the coal cannot be used as an explosive because the rate at which it yields this heat is quite slow.In fact, a substance which burns less rapidly (i.e. slowcombustion) may actually evolve more total heat than an explosive which detonates rapidly (i.e. fast combustion). In the former, slow combustion converts more of the internal energy (i.e.chemical potential) of the burning substance into heat released to the surroundings, while in the latter, fast combustion (i.e. detonation) instead converts more internal energy into work on the surroundings (i.e. less internal energy converted into heat) c.f. heat and work (thermodynamics) are equivalent forms of energy.

It is this heat of reaction that may be properly expressed as the heat of explosion. Initiation of reactionA chemical explosive is a compound or mixture which, upon the application of heat or shock, decomposes or rearranges with extreme rapidity, yielding much gas and heat. Many substances not ordinarily classed as explosives may do one, or even two, of these things. A re action must be capable of being initiated by the application of shock, heat, or a catalyst (in the case of some explosive chemical reactions) to a small portion of the mass of the explosive material. A material in which the first three factors exist cannot be accepted as an explosive unless the reaction can be made to occur when needed.FragmentationFragmentation is the accumulation and projection of particles as the result of a high explosives detonation. Fragments could be part of a structure such as a magazine. High velocity, low angle fragments can travel hundreds or thousands of feet with enough energy to initiate other surrounding high explosive items, injure or kill personnel and damage vehicles or structures.
