Influence of Various Parameters on Initiation, Stability, and Limits of Detonations.

Abstract

The propagation of spherical flames has been investigated under conditions where artifical turbulence was generated at a certain distance from the center. When reading that turbulent layer the flame propagation velocity increased by a certain factor--(About 3 for mixtures of C2H4-air). Reduction of the N2 contact in the mixture increased that factor. Italso seems to increase towards rich mixtures. In rich mixtures accelleration of the flame could be observed even when it had passed over the turbulent zone.
