MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC THEORY OF DEFLAGRATION AND DETONATION.
Abstract
An analysis is presented of the influence of ionization on the processes accompanying deflagration and detonation. Under suitable conditions, ionization can be effected by (1) the presence of impurities, (2) increase in temperature, (3) friction and turbulence, (4) increase in static presence, (5) ultrasonic and shock waves, and (6) electromagnetic waves and radiations. In combustion and explosion most of these effects will be present, but the shock and electromagnetic waves, which prpagate faster than the rest, will be of prime importance. The electromagnetic wave is technically a magnetohydrodynamic wave. Properties of these waves are discussed in the rigorous ionic theory and the effect of ionic relaxation phenomena is described.
