  2. Table of explosive detonation velocities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_explosive...

    This is a compilation of published detonation velocities for various high explosive compounds. Detonation velocity is the speed with which the detonation shock wave travels through the explosive.

  3. Composition C - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_C

    The velocity of detonation is about 7600 m/s (25,000 feet per second). Composition C-3 consists of 77%–85% cyclonite ( RDX ) and 15%–23% gel made out of liquid nitro compounds (e.g. liquid DNT and small amount of NT ) and nitrocellulose or butyl phthalate and nitrocellulose.

    During the 1930s, triple-base propellants containing nitrocellulose, nitroglycerin or diethylene glycol dinitrate, and a substantial quantity of nitroguanidine (detonation velocity 8,200 m/s (26,900 ft/s), RE factor 0.95) as explosive propellant ingredients were commercialized.

  6. Energy efficiency in transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_efficiency_in_transport

    Cunard stated that Queen Elizabeth 2 travelled 49.5 feet per imperial gallon of diesel oil (3.32 m/L or 41.2 ft/US gal), and that it had a passenger capacity of 1777. [129] Thus carrying 1777 passengers we can calculate an efficiency of 16.7 passenger miles per imperial gallon (16.9 L/100 p·km or 13.9 p·mpg –US ).

  9. Carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide

    The symmetry of a carbon dioxide molecule is linear and centrosymmetric at its equilibrium geometry. The length of the carbon–oxygen bond in carbon dioxide is 116.3 pm, noticeably shorter than the roughly 140 pm length of a typical single C–O bond, and shorter than most other C–O multiply bonded functional groups such as carbonyls.
