Thermochemistry And Kinetic Models For Magnesium/ Teflon/ Viton Pyrotechnic Compositions.

Pyrotechnic devices, whilst having some civilian applications such as recreational fireworks and safety airbags in motor vehicles, are mainly used for military and Defence purposes such as illumination flares, masking smoke producers, incendiaries, ignition devices, tracers, and decoy flares to name just a few.

This volume will focus investigating the thermochemical properties and chemical kinetics of a number of Magnesium-Teflon-Viton (MTV) compositions, similar to those used in Defence applications. This comprehensive analysis focuses on calculating the chemical and combustion characteristics of MTV and MTV-air mixtures for a wide range of operational conditions. Much of the discussion relates to understanding the effect of Viton and atmospheric air on the combustion of MTV mixtures.

The analysis of the chemical kinetics scheme provides useful information on the dominant species and reactions that influence the combustion of MTV mixtures. This knowledge will be used to implement a realistic chemical model into a flow field solver, which is the focus of the next stage of this task.
