Heat-release measurement in “gasless” combustion of a titanium-carbon mixture in a nonhermetic shell

A calorimetric device and a technique for heat-effect measurement using aBKS-1 high-speed combustion calorimeter have been developed to study the heat release of fuel mixtures confined in the shell of a heat-releasing element. An equiatomic mixture of titanium and carbon powders was taken as a model. The mean value of heat release has been obtained for this system(3.0±0.1 MJ/kg).Translated from Fizika Goreniya i Vzryva, Vol. 32, No. 1, pp. 48–52, January–February, 1996.
