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

Abstract

The influence of a sequence of orifices on the propagation of flames in tubes has been investigated by measuring stationary flame speeds and pressure profiles. Flame propagation speeds of more than 600 m/s, confirming Wheeler's results, could be measured. Maximum pressures reached values markedly above the isochoric explosion pressure. The mechanism is discussed. (Author)
