Abstract
Computations were performed for pressure, temperature and equilibrium product yield in the internal explosions of 208.5 lbs of reactive aluminum with 52.1 lbs of a PBX in air for air volumes ranging from 2000 to 50000 cubic feet. The decrease in overpressure with increasing volume is interrupted by a temporary rise in the region where the solid present changes from A1N to A1
