Explosions of reactive gases and the associated rapid, uncontrolled release of large amounts of energy pose threats of immense destructive power to mining operations, fuel storage facilities, chemical ...

Detonation combustion achieves near-constant-volume burning, drastically reducing entropy generation and wasting less energy as heat compared to traditional deflagration propulsion. Its supersonic ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Two mechanisms have been proposed for the build-up of detonation by solid explosives: (a) In the self-heating mechanism, when heat is evolved ...

This summary provides an elucidation of the complex processes underlying flame acceleration and the subsequent transition to detonation in combustion systems. Flame acceleration, a phenomenon in which ...

Dame Joanna Lumley today hosted a demonstration detonation in a quarry to show how blowing up unexploded WWII bombs at sea can deafen dolphins and whales. The actress was joined this morning at the ...

A study demonstrates an experimental framework for developing detonation-based propulsion. Conventional propulsion fuels and technologies produce thrust through deflagration, which is a subsonic ...
