Certain set of benzenoid nitro compounds are considered for DFT calculations at the level of B3LYP/631G(d). The output data are statistically analyzed in order to get some correlations between the various quantum chemical properties and the impact sensitivities of the compounds considered. Two regression equations are given. All the analyses indicate that the impact sensitivity values of these structures are highly dependent on the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy and partially dependent on the highest occupied molecular orbital energy which is the indication of occurrence of tunneling from ground state to excited state(s) during the explosion initiated by an impact.

Quantum chemical study on 5-nitro-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one (NTO) and some of its constitutional isomers Türker, Burhan Lemi; Atalar, Taner (Elsevier BV, 2006-10-11) Presently, certain isomeric compounds of NTO and their tautomers have been investigated by performing density functional theory (DFT) calculations at B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) and ROB3P86/6-311G(d,p) levels and also ab initio calculations at RHF/6-311G(d,p) level. The optimized geometries, vibrational frequencies, electronic structures and some thermodynamical values for the presently considered NTO isomers have been obtained in their ground states. Also, detonation performances were evaluated by the Kammlet-Jacobs ...
Catalytic combustion of ethyl acetate GÜRMEN ÖZÇELİK, TUĞBA; Atalay, Sueheyda; Alpay, Erden (Elsevier BV, 2007-01-01) The catalytic combustion of ethyl acetate over prepared metal oxide catalysts was investigated. CeO, Co2O3, Mn2O3, Cr2O3, and CeO-Co2O3 catalysts were prepared on monolith supports and they were tested. Before conducting the catalyst experiments, we searched for the homogeneous gas phase combustion reaction of ethylacetate. According to the homogeneous phase experimental results, 45% of ethylacetate was converted at the maximum reactor temperature tested (350 degrees C). All the prepared catalysts were test...
Numerical prediction of steady-state detonation properties of condensed-phase explosives Cengiz, F.; Ulaş, Abdullah (Elsevier BV, 2009-12-30) Within the scope of this study, a computer code named BARUT-X has been developed to calculate the detonation properties of C-H-N-O based condensed-phase explosives using the Chapman-Jouguet (C-J) theory. Determination of the detonation properties is performed in chemical equilibrium and steady-state conditions. Unlike other codes in the literature which use steepest descent optimization method, BARUT-X uses a nonlinear optimization code based on Generalized Reduced Gradient algorithm to compute the equilibr...
Quantum chemical treatment of cyanogen azide and its univalent and divalent ionic forms Türker, Burhan Lemi; Atalar, Taner (Elsevier BV, 2008-05-30) An explosive material, cyanogen azide (CN4) and its univalent and divalent anionic and cationic forms have been studied quantum chemically by using different theoretical approaches. In this study, the structures considered have been screened for their relative stabilities. Also, they have been investigated whether the charged forms play a role in the usual explosion process or any electrical charging during storage cause explosion. Various quantum chemical properties are obtained and discussed. It has been ...
Sorption of radioactive cesium and barium ions onto solid humic acid Celebi, O.; Kilikli, A.; ERTEN, HASAN NİYAZİ (Elsevier BV, 2009-09-15) In this study, the sorption behavior of two important fission product radionuclides ((137)Cs and (140)Ba) onto sodium form of insolubilized humic acid (INaA) were investigated as a function of time, cation concentration and temperature, utilizing the radiotracer method. The sorption processes are well described by both Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich type isotherms. Thermodynamic constants such as: free energy (Delta G(ads)), enthalpy (Delta H(ads)), entropy (Delta S(ads)) of adsorption were determined....
