A number of theoretical approaches to the analysis of the parameters of a discharge channel consisting of strongly coupled plasma generated in the process of underwater electrical wire explosion are presented. The analysis is based on experimental results obtained from discharges employing Cu wire. The obtained experimental data included electrical measurements and optical observations from which information about the dynamics of the water flow was extrapolated. Numerical calculation based on a 1D magnetohydrodynamic model was used to simulate the process of underwater wire explosion. A wide range conductivity model was applied in this calculation and good agreement with a set of experimental data was obtained. A method of determining the average temperature of the discharge channel based on this model and experimental results is proposed, and the limits of this method's applicability are discussed.

Given that conducting controllable shock wave tests in actual rock formations underground in coal mines affects coal mine production with the parameters required for equipment design and incurs significant costs, a series of ground tests were conducted separately. First, the impact of energy storage on rock breaking efficiency was analyzed. Then, physical simulation experiments were conducted on the differential efficiency of controllable shock waves on high-strength cement, sandstone, granite, solid granite, and limestone.

Article Synopsis
- Current methods of measuring temperature changes in boron-containing warm-pressure explosives using single thermocouples are ineffective due to their inconsistent performance.
- A new C-type two-thermocouple has been developed to enhance transient temperature measurement with improved system characterization and optimal solution finding methods.
- Experimental validation in a high-temperature furnace demonstrated that the two-thermocouple setup yields better temperature measurement accuracy, achieving a low error rate and high goodness of fit.

The synthesis of metal nanoparticles holds significant promise for various applications ranging from electronics to catalysis. Their high specific surface area makes them more applicable in the form of lubricant and sorbent. Some of the metal nano-powders, such as silver, copper, and zinc, possess anti-microbial properties; hence, they are very useful in medical sciences.

Aluminum nanoparticles (nAl) have received sustained interest due to their higher reactivity than micron aluminum particles (mAl). However, in practice, the densities of explosive formulations with nAl are far smaller than those with mAl, which greatly undercuts the energy release performance. To take advantages of both kinds of Al particles, in situ integration of mAl@nAl composites was proposed and evaluated.
