A new code viz., Linear Output Thermodynamic User-friendly Software for Energetic Systems (LOTUSES) developed during this work predicts the theoretical performance parameters such as density, detonation factor, velocity of detonation, detonation pressure and thermodynamic properties such as heat of detonation, heat of explosion, volume of explosion gaseous products. The same code also assists in the prediction of possible explosive decomposition products after explosion and power index. The developed code has been validated by calculating the parameters of standard explosives such as TNT, PETN, RDX, and HMX. Theoretically predicated parameters are accurate to the order of +/-5% deviation. To the best of our knowledge, no such code is reported in literature which can predict a wide range of characteristics of known/unknown explosives with minimum input parameters. The code can be used to obtain thermochemical and performance parameters of high energy materials (HEMs) with reasonable accuracy. The code has been developed in Visual Basic having enhanced windows environment, and thereby advantages over the conventional codes, written in Fortran. The theoretically predicted HEMs performance can be directly printed as well as stored in text (.txt) or HTML (.htm) or Microsoft Word (.doc) or Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format in the hard disk. The output can also be copied into the Random Access Memory as clipboard text which can be imported/pasted in other software as in the case of other codes.
在这项工作中开发的一种新代码，即用于能量系统的线性输出热力学用户友好软件（LOTUSES），可预测理论性能参数，如密度、爆轰因子、爆速、爆轰压力以及热力学性质，如爆轰热、爆炸热、爆炸气态产物的体积。该代码还有助于预测爆炸后可能的爆炸分解产物和功率指数。通过计算TNT、PETN、RDX和HMX等标准炸药的参数，对开发的代码进行了验证。理论预测的参数偏差精度达到±5%左右。据我们所知，文献中没有报道过这样一种代码，它能够以最少的输入参数预测已知/未知炸药的广泛特性。该代码可用于以合理的精度获得高能材料（HEM）的热化学和性能参数。该代码是用具有增强窗口环境的Visual Basic开发的，因此相对于用Fortran编写的传统代码具有优势。理论预测的高能材料性能可以直接打印出来，也可以以文本（.txt）、HTML（.htm）、Microsoft Word（.doc）或Adobe Acrobat（.pdf）格式存储在硬盘中。输出还可以作为剪贴板文本复制到随机存取存储器中，如同其他代码一样，可以在其他软件中导入/粘贴。
