Could anybody tell me, in whatever units, how much energy per volume (and by mass if you know) is released by the most powerful chemical reactions?
Energy per Volume Crated by Best Chem. Reaction
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the energy released per volume and mass by the most powerful chemical reactions, specifically highlighting gunpowder and jet fuel as primary examples. Participants confirm that gunpowder has an energy density of approximately 3,200 kJ/L, while jet fuel (Jet A) has an energy density of about 35,000 kJ/L. The conversation emphasizes the significance of understanding energy densities for applications in propulsion and explosives.
PREREQUISITES- Basic understanding of chemical energy and reactions
