Hey, so I was curious, and decided to test the formula, just for fun and I found that it wasn't all that correct.
so I used nuke map, and. Put in 16 kilotons of tnt as the yield of the explosion, and these rates for the radius'.
Fireball: 0.240 km
20 psi: 0.55 km
5 psi: 1.15 km
Radiation: 1.35 km
Thermal radiation: 1.73 km
1 psi: 2.96 km
Now, using the formula, here are the results respectively
314.5 tons
3.785 kilotons
31 kilotons
50 kilotons
117.5 kilotons
532 kilotons
I always thought I was using the wrong radius, but all of them are far off from the actual yield. Can someone please tell me if I'm crazy? Because I haven't seen anyone bring this up.
