To explore the liquid components of high-potential Fuel air explosive(FAE) with better damage power, taking the traditional typical fuel (propylene oxide) as reference, polymethoxy dibutyl ethe(BTPOMn), polymethoxy dimethyl ether (DMM2), 1-butanol and 2-butyl alcohol were selected as research object. A pressure testing system, high-speed camera and infrared thermal image were used to record the experimental data. The cloud explosive characteristics of the 5 fuels with 18g RDX as central burster charge and 160g TNT as secondary explosive were studied. The results indicated that the critical initiation energy of the DMM2was higher than that of the other fuels. The relationship of the damage radius of thermal radiation among 5 fuels was as follows: propylene oxide (18.9 m)> 2-butyl alcohol (16.6 m)> 1-butanol (16.0 m)> DMM2 (15.6 m)> BTPOMn (12 m). The damage effects of 5 fuels on people and buildings were evaluated by the PROBIT equation, and the results showed that the damage effects of 1-butanol and 2-butyl alcohol were better than those of BTPOMn and DMM2, and the propylene oxide had the best damage effect. © 2021, Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Energetic Materials.
