The Chemistry of Explosives provides an overview of the history of explosives, taking the reader to future developments. The text on the classification of explosive materials contains much data on the physical parameters of primary and secondary explosives. The explosive processes of deflagration and detonation, including the theory of 'hotspots' for the detonation process, are introduced and many examples are provided in the detailRSC PaperbacksExplosivesElectronic books.Explosives.662.2Akhavan Jacqueline919942Royal Society of Chemistry (Great Britain)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454417103321The chemistry of explosives2063407UNINA05016nam 22005774a 450 991102021920332120251116151243.01-119-20194-21-280-34987-597866103498760-471-92824-0(CKB)1000000000354596(EBL)252658(OCoLC)64560574(SSID)ssj0000096580(PQKBManifestationID)11130565(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000096580(PQKBWorkID)10081577(PQKB)11263151(MiAaPQ)EBC252658(EXLCZ)99100000000035459620051110d2006 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrAccounts payable and Sarbanes-Oxley strengthening your internal controls /Mary S.
