Modeling of an Electrothermal Explosion with Account for Changes in the Thermoelectric Characteristics of a Gasless System

This study describes the mathematical modeling of an electrothermal explosion (ETE) of a gasless system placed in the annular layer of a conductive product. The influence of a change in the thermoelectric characteristics of a sample on the implementation, thermal conditions, and heat patterns of an ETE are considered. Based on the results obtained, the previously established experimental result about the anomalous effect of the electric heating power on the parameters of an ETE of a mixture of titanium and soot powders is explained.
