The detonation pressure is a function of density. The detonation pressure of TNT is about 200,000 atm at an initial density of TMD (theoretical maximum density of 1.654). The detonation pressure of RDX is about 350,000 atm at TMD (1.806 g/cc).

Thanks a lot the information.

Am currently executing simulation that involves melting, evaporation and reaction of TNT explosive in a confined shell. Am really stuck and clueless what to do next. Am using ANSYS FLUENT for my simulation. I will send you details via your inbox. Will be most grateful for your technical advice. Thanks a lot.

Otherwise,in: M.A.Cook,The Science of High Explosives, American Chemical Society Monograph, Reinhold Publishing,  is giving calculated detonation pressure for TNT at different densities from 1.31 to 1.59 in Figure 2,8 on page 34

Hi,

An interesting bool where you can find many information:
