Abstract
In this paper, analysis of ballistic behaviour of gun powder and flash powder of firework chemicals with different particle size have been carried out in a closed vessel to find out the maximum pressure when ignited. The experiment was carried out by changing the variables like sample composition, particle size, vessel volume. Works were carried out to synthesis of nanoflash powders and the particle sizes are 139.7Â nm for KNO3, 94.5Â nm for Al and 92.36Â nm for S. The nanoflash powders are mixed with micron powders in different ratios and crackers are manufactured. The maximum pressure during the combustion of different samples and explosivity of the crackers are analysed. Results show that peak pressure is increased by 21.6% and explosive impulse is increased by 60% when burning of 100% nfp compared to 10% nfp cracker.
