Q
Deflagration (to burn down)
A
Subsonic combustion that usually propagates through thermal conductivity
2
Q
Explain Detonation
A
A super sonic exothermic front accelerating through a medium that drives a shock front propergating directly infront of it.
3

A
Density of charge
Charge diameter
Degree of confine ment
Strength of detonator
5
Q
Whats Brisance?
A
The shattering effect of explosive.
6
Q
