In this case rate of burning means The amount of explosive converted into heat and energy per unit time. or the amount of explosive consumed per second or per minute.

Why is the burning rate of fuel dependent upon its physical state?

The burning rate of fuel is dependent on its physical state because it affects the surface area exposed to oxygen, which is necessary for combustion. In a solid state, the surface area is limited, while in a gaseous or liquid state, the fuel can mix more easily with oxygen, increasing the burning rate. Additionally, the physical state influences the ease of vaporization and combustion reactions, which can impact the burning rate of the fuel.


What is the difference between high and low explosive?

High explosives detonate rapidly, creating a supersonic shockwave, while low explosives deflagrate at a slower rate. High explosives are used in activities like mining and demolition, while low explosives are commonly found in fireworks and propellants.


What are the three categories of explosives?

Primary and secondary explosives. The definitions of these are rather loose, however typically primary explosives will detonate when ignited (example: mercury fulkminate), and secondary explosives require a shockewave to detonate (example: TNT). The most accurate definition is when used in the context of an "explosive train" whereby a fuse ignites the primary high explosive which undergoes deflagration to detonation transition, this detonation produces a shockwave which is used to initiate a secondary high explosive. So explosive compounds are classified into primary or secondary based there primary use.

The three categories of explosives are?

The three categories of explosives are: high explosives, including dynamite and TNT, which detonate with a supersonic shockwave; low explosives, such as black powder and gunpowder, which deflagrate with a subsonic burn rate; and secondary explosives, like RDX and PETN, which are more powerful and sensitive than primary explosives like TNT.


What is the rate of paper?

the burning rate of paper actually depends on the type of paper because they all have different densitys which will affect the burning rate of each type paper.in conclusion there are different burning rates.

Why do they use explosives to put out oil fires?

Just as you can blow out a burning match with your breath, explosives are used to "blow out" oil well fires. The fires are so violent ind intense that normal firefighting methods will not work.

What are the most widely used low explosives?

The most widely used low explosives are black powder, smokeless powder, and pyrotechnic compositions. These explosives are commonly used in firearms, fireworks, and industrial applications due to their controlled burn rate and relatively low sensitivity to shock or friction.
