Can an inert gas in a detention situation be used to ""dampen"" a sharp peak in detonation pressure and convert that peak into a more sustained pressure building?

Answered

Explanation:

Damping by inert gas is directly proportional to the molecular mass of inert gas.

Damping by inert gas is inversely proportional to the specific heat. One should consider specific heat at constant volume here as pressure will be varying.  Since molecular mass is constant, the height of peak will be reduced proportional to the molecular mass. There is an increase in temperature during detonation of pressure.

Increase in temperature difference, decreases the specific heat and therefore increases the damping.

graph slopes whilst gas cools, then it is flat whilst conensation to liquid happens, the coolong liquid then graphs as a slope when it solidifies graph is flat

latent heat

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
