Investigation of the dependence of the limits of detonatability on tube diameter

Propagation of stable detonations in tubes takes place as long as the tube diameter is not smaller than a critical value. For detonations in methane-oxygen mixtures, the dependence of the critical tube diameter upon methane concentration has been studied. In addition, the dependence of the detonatio...

Description
Summary:Propagation of stable detonations in tubes takes place as long as the tube diameter is not smaller than a critical value. For detonations in methane-oxygen mixtures, the dependence of the critical tube diameter upon methane concentration has been studied. In addition, the dependence of the detonation velocity on methane concentration has been determined.
