COMPUTATION OF GASEOUS DETONATION PARAMETERS
Abstract
This report describes the development of a method programmed for a digital computer to evaluate one dimensional detonation parameters in gaseous media. The calculations are based on the assumptions that the mixture is comprised of ideal gas constituents and that the wave process is governed by equilibrium end conditions. Details of the analytical method of solution are presented including the IBM 7090 computer program, described in Fortran language. Sample input and output data with instructions for preparing the input data are given. Finally, computations are performed for a number of hydrogen-oxygen mixtures from H2+O2 to 3H2+O2 at several initial conditions covering a range in pressure from 0.1 to 760 mm Hg and in temperatures from -180 to +200F and a comparison is made with calculations of other investigators for a stoichiometric mixture initially at NTP.
