Expansion of the dense plasma column formed from an electrically exploding Cu wire of diameter 30 μm has been studied with a high-speed photographer to obtain the time-dependent radius (R-t) curve. The experimental results demonstrate that the mean expansion rate of the dense plasma column is 1.94 μm/ns, 2.6 μm/ns and 3.75 μm/ns according to the peak pulse current 4.5 kA, 7 kA and 9.5 kA respectively. The results can be beneficial to giving a profound understanding of the early stage of wire-array Z-pinch physics and to improvement on their design.展开更多

The nanoparticles are characterized by x-ray diffraction and UV-Visible spectroscopy. The x-ray diffraction results reveal that the nanoparticles continue to routine lattice periodicity at reduced particle sizes. The UV-Visible absorption spectrum of the liquid solution of the aluminum nanoparticles shows no characteristic Surface Plasmon Resonance （SPR） peak in the visible region. The TEM and SEM images show that the aluminum nanoparticles have narrow particle size distribution ranged from 20 to120 um with average particle size 80 nm. The aluminum nanoparticles prepared in water and that prepared in ethylene glycol show, no difference in their average particle size and distribution, while those prepared in cyclohexane show smaller sizes. It was observed that the particles have a little irregular shapes and low agglomerate was observed.展开更多

Laboratory scale experiments were carried out before conducting the large scale field tests. The resultant explosions gave rise to less noise, insignificant seismic vibrations and good specific explosive consumption for rock blasting. Importantly, the technique was found to be safe and environmentally friendly.展开更多
