In 1964, Guo Yuxian proposed a nitrogen equivalent (NE) equation for predicting the detonation velocity (D) of CHNO explosives. In the early 1980′s, Guo Yuxian and Zhang Housheng[1-2] proposed two NE equations for predicting the D and detonation pressure (p) of CHNO explosives. Here we plan to propose two empirical NE equations for predicting the values of D and p with more approaching the values of D and p in Kamlet-Jacobs equations than Guo Yuxian-Zhang Housheng′s NE equations.
By substituting the 1631 sets of original data (Table S2), Di, Mi, ρi and xi, i=1, 2, …, 1631, for 324 CHNO single-compound explosives (Table S1) into eqns. (1), (3), (5) and (7), eqns. (2), (4), (6) and (8) are obtained via solution of eqns. (1), (3), (5) and (7) using the trust region approach.
