Can an inert gas in a detention situation be used to ""dampen"" a sharp peak in detonation pressure and convert that peak into a more sustained pressure building?

Answered

Explanation:

Damping by inert gas is directly proportional to the molecular mass of inert gas.

Damping by inert gas is inversely proportional to the specific heat. One should consider specific heat at constant volume here as pressure will be varying.  Since molecular mass is constant, the height of peak will be reduced proportional to the molecular mass. There is an increase in temperature during detonation of pressure.

Increase in temperature difference, decreases the specific heat and therefore increases the damping.

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
