Burning Rate and Grain Size of Component Materials of Pyrotechnic Mixtures
Dr Takeo Shimizu ABSTRACT: It has been generally believed that the finer the grain size, the faster the burning when we select the component materials of a pyrotechnic mixture. It is not always true because a small explosion occurred in the past when we tested a smoke mixture, although it contained a dye of very …
