SOLID FAE DETONATION MODEL

BELTRAN, INC. WILL UTILIZE THE MECHANISTIC MODEL OF DUST DETONATIONS DEVELOPED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, IN CONJUNCTION WITH BELTRAN'S CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIUM (NASA-CET) PROGRAM AND COMPLETE JANNAF THERMOCHEMICAL AND TRANSPORT PROPERTY DATA TAPE, THUS, YIELDING A PROGRAM CAPABLE OF MODELING SOLID FUEL (DUST) DETONATIONS FOR A WIDE VARIETY OF FUELS. THE NEW PROGRAM WILL ENABLE THE EFFECT ATTRIBUTED TO TEMPERATURE, PARTICLE SIZES, PARTICLE SHAPES, PARTICLE LOADING, COATINGS AND RADIATION FACTORS TO BE DETERMINED. THIS WILL ENABLE SELECTION OF CANDIDATE MATERIALS FOR FURTHER EVALUATION IN THE PHASE II EFFORT.
