maximum theoretical yield


hey what is the absolute maximum energy density that can be achieved with carbon based energetic materials. would other chemistry's be superior such as hydrogen- chlorine, etc

Dicyanoacetylene + liquid ozone would probably be close to maximum energy density with only C, N, and O.



As below, so above.

Do you mean maximum energy per weight, per volume, or possibly per Mol weight of single component HE?



Rapopart’s Rules for critical commentary:

1. Attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly and fairly that your target says: “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it that way.”
2. List any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
3. Mention anything you have learned from your target.
4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.

Yeah. I used to have this kind of reaction a lot to poorly worded test questions in school-

Your question really is a bad one. First are you referring to energetic materials that explode? Or propellants? Heat of combustion? It definitely won't be a gas.

Maybe I am not understanding the question correctly .... But won't ONC be what you are wanting ?
Density of 1.98 g/CC and RE of 2.38 and VOD of over 10K/s
And if that is what you wanted to know ... This thread was kinda a waste.

Agreed- maybe define this a little more tightly?

Do you want to limit this to explosives that are or ever could be transported, and might actually be used by sane people with a job to do?

Or are lab curiosities and blue sky theoreticals fair game?

i didn't make myself clear enough the actual theoretical yield per cc.

Carbon-8 should be pretty energetic!

Or did you mean chemical carbon-based explosives?

So where did you look for the answer before you asked the question?

Quote:

Before You Ask Before asking a technical question by e-mail, or in a newsgroup, or on a website chat board, do the following: Try to find an answer by searching the archives of the forum you plan to post to. Try to find an answer by searching the Web. Try to find an answer by reading the manual. Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ. Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation. Try to find an answer by asking a skilled friend. If you're a programmer, try to find an answer by reading the source code. When you ask your question, display the fact that you have done these things first; this will help establish that you're not being a lazy sponge and wasting people's time. Better yet, display what you have learned from doing these things. We like answering questions for people who have demonstrated they can learn from the answers.

Actual theoretical is very oxymoronic !!

This thread is lame and needs to be removed.
