Ts. Pivina et al., COMPARATIVE CHARACTERISTIC OF ENERGY CONTENT CALCULATING METHODS FOR THE FURAZAN SERIES AS AN EXAMPLE OF ENERGETIC MATERIALS, Propellants, explosives, pyrotechnics, 20(1), 1995, pp. 5-10
The significant expenditures for organic synthesis of high-energy mate
rials necessitate an a priori evaluation of prospects for physical-che
mical parameters. The most important of these parameters is the heat o
f formation characterizing this or the other compound suggested for sy
nthesis. This study describes and analyzes the most well-known and wid
ely used schemes and methods for evaluating and predicting the energy
capacity of high-energetic materials. The accuracy of calculations is
evaluated for different schemes; the limits of their applicability are
determined.
