Hey Arc, I gotta ask, I know some (at least one) disagreed with it but would it be fair to use your formula here for some space calcs?
The one that goes
E = 8 * pi * rho_0 * R^5 / [75 * (gamma - 1) t^2]
where:
rho_0 is the initial density of air (1.225 kg/m^3 usually near Earth's surface at 20 deg C)
R is the fireball radius in meters
gamma is the specific heat ratio (usually 1.4 near Earth's surface at 20 deg C)
t is the time it takes the fireball to reach radius R in seconds
E is the energy of an airburst explosion in joules
Or do you think there's still stuff to be perfected about it?
