Abstract: The detonation velocity of nitromethane has been measured for various charge radii and confining materials. A critical diameter of 27 mm for the detonation of unconfined nitromethane has been found. Estimates of the energy of activation, the length of the reaction zone and the reaction time are obtained, according to Eyring's theory.
