The solubility parameters of TNAD, HMX, RDX, DINA, DNP propellants were predicted by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation in order to evaluate the miscibility of TNAD and the other four propellants. The results show that the order of miscibility is TNAD/DINA > TNAD/DNP > TNAD/RDX > TNAD/HMX from the analysis of miscibility. The densities and binding energies of TNAD/propellants blends were further investigated. The results indicate that the better the miscibility between TNAD and the propellants, the smaller the variation of the density rate. The larger the intermolecular interaction, the better the miscibility between components. The analysis of radial distribution function shows that the main interaction ways between TNAD and other energetic components are short-range interactions.

The constant-volume combustion energy, DeltacU (DNTF, s, 298.15K) and kinetic behavior of the exothermic decomposition reaction of the title compound (DNTF) are determined by a precise rotating bomb calorimeter and DSC, respectively. Its standard enthalpy of combustion, DeltacHmtheta (DNTF, s, 298.15K), standard enthalpy of formation, DeltacHmtheta (DNTF, s, 298.15K) and kinetic parameters of the major exothermic decomposition reaction in a temperature-programmed mode [the apparent activation energy (Ea) and pre-exponential factor (A)] are calculated. The values of DeltacU (DNTF, s, 298.15K), DeltacHmtheta (DNTF, s, 298.15K), and DeltacHmtheta (DNTF, s, 298.15K) of DNTF are -9733.96 +/- 8.59 Jg(-1), -3018.29 +/- 2.68 kJ mol(-1), and 657.23 +/- 2.70 kJ mol(-1), respectively. The kinetic model function in integral form and the value of E(a) and A of the major exothermic decomposition reaction of DNTF are 1-(1-alpha)1/3, 177.03 kJ mol(-1) and 10(13.68)s(-1), respectively. The critical temperature of thermal explosion of DNTF is 240.6 degrees C.
