Abstract:Detonation is a shock-induced combustion in which chemical reactions are closely coupled with shock waves. The shock wave compresses the reactant with an abrupt increase in temperature and pressure, initiating the reactants to be burnt into products. The intense heat release permits the high propagating speed of the shock wave to be sustained. It is fundamental research related to both the safety industry and propulsion systems. For most explosive mixtures, detonation wave speeds are formulated by Chapman–Joug… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
