Algorithm for Calculating the Parameters of a Combined Electric-Discharge Energy Source in High-Voltage Electrochemical Explosion in a Confined Volume

Abstract

In this paper, using experimental data, we develop an algorithm for calculating the parameters of combined electric-discharge energy sources in a high-voltage electrochemical explosion (HVECE) (pulse current generator parameters, discharge gap length, and exothermic composition mass). These parameters provide the energy characteristics specified by the technology of an HVECE in a confined volume. To eliminate the multivariance of the solutions when the proposed algorithm is used, we recommend using the amount of released chemical energy per unit of electrical energy introduced into the HVECE channel as an optimization criterion.
