Chapter 7, Problem 7.61

(choose chapter or problem)

The pressure rise, p, across a blast wave, as shown inFig. P7.61, and Video V11.8, is assumed to be a function of theamount of energy released in the explosion, E, the air density, ,the speed of sound, c, and the distance from the blast, d. (a) Putthis relationship in dimensionless form. (b) Consider two blasts:the prototype blast with energy release E and a model blast with1/1000th the energy release (Em = 0.001 E). At what distancefrom the model blast will the pressure rise be the same as that at adistance of 1 mile from the prototype blast?
