This article presents a comparison of the explosion characteristics of mixtures of isopropyl nitrate (IPN, (CH 3 ) 2 CHONO 2 ) and JP-10 (C 10 H 16 , tricycle [5.2.1.0 2,6 ] decane) in air aerosols. The explosion pressure, flame temperature, maximum rate of pressure rise, maximum rate of temperature rise, and lower flammability limits (LFLs) were measured for two sets of IPN and mixed IPN/JP-10 in air aerosols at different concentrations and Sauter mean diameters (SMDs) of 19 mm and 34 mm, respectively, and the values were compared with the experimental results of JP-10/air aerosols with SMDs of 20 mm and 35 mm (from our previous research). Experiments were also performed to study various concentrations at various ignition energies for the IPN/ air aerosols and the explosions of binary mixture aerosols with various mass ratios of IPN and JP-10. The experimental results indicated that for the IPN/air and JP-10/air aerosols with a mean SMD of~34 mm, the maximum peak pressure and maximum peak temperature of the IPN/air aerosols were greater than those of the JP-10/air aerosols. The maximum rate of pressure rise of the IPN/air aerosols reached a maximum value of 395.3 MPa/s at a mean SMD of~34 mm, and the pressure increased more abruptly in the IPN/air aerosols than in the JP-10/air aerosols. The LFLs of the IPN/air aerosols occurred with a total concentration of 197 g/m 3 at a mean SMD of 19 mm and a total concentration of 233 g/ m 3 at a mean SMD of 34 mm, whereas the LFLs for the JP-10/air aerosols with SMDs of 20 mm and 35 mm were less than 47 g/m 3 and 40 g/m 3 , respectively. The experimental results presented here also showed that the maximum peak pressure was 1.07 MPa at a binary liquid mass ratio of IPN:JP-10 (%) of 72 : 28 and a mean SMD of~34 mm.Keywords: IPN/air and JP-10/air aerosols · Explosion characteristics · Lower flammability limit · Ignition energy · Various mass ratios of binary mixtures 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
