New MFMP Charge Analysis regarding the Explosion Run:
http://bit.ly/1z61hEB (5 hours ago)
This is a shocker to me. Here are the changes to the last values (first
analysis):
Free Volume for Gas: 1.09 ml --> 1.06 ml (not a large change) (Recall that
Parkhomov estimates 2 ml in his experiment(s))
Weight Amount of Li(AlH4): 134 mg --> 19.7 mg (!!!!!!!) (Recall
that Parkhomov/Translation states 100 mg)
With these new values, the calculated pressure become approx. 1500 psi,
which agrees with my calculation. But this new weight amount of Li(AlH4) is
totally strange to me. The analysis goes on to state that this pressure is
in line with Parkhomov's estimates, but as far as I understand, using far
less Li(AlH4) than Parkhomov. The only value I have ever seen stated by
Parkhomov is 100 mg, or a factor of 5 times more, by weight.
Am I missing something here? This is a tremendous change that I'm having a
hard time comprehending. I'm looking into the MFMP Calculation further,
right now.
Thanks,

I believe there maybe an error in this pressure estimate and that the
calculated pressure will be exactly half of 19,861 psi (i.e., 9,930.5 psi).
Although 0.0141 moles of Hydrogen are released, 0.00706 moles of Hydrogen
Gas (H2) are released. I don't believe that free H atoms/ions contribute to
the gas pressure in the free volume of the cell, and that the actual gas
there is H2 Gas.
Please see the following post for the details:

Pressure inside the dog bone is calculated to have been near 19,861 psi
at the time of failure.
