It is one of the main factors on safety researching that
effective measures should be taken to determine the TNT equivalence of composite propellant. This
paper based on the minimum free energy method, programmed composition with MATLAB for calculating
equilibrium products of composite propellant detonation and TNT equivalence of composite
propellant with different ratio, and developed visualized software. The results show that the
higher mass fraction of aluminum powder was, the higher thermal damage to the environment was for
the same mass of composite propellant. Meanwhile the increasing of the mass fraction of solid
explosives in all the components will improve the explosive properties, which will provide some
theoretical foundations for the risk assessment of composite propellant and provide foundations
for the safety performance of composite propellant.
