"Under certain conditions, however, this 'slow' mode of burning can transition to a completely different regime – detonation, a.k.a. the 'deflagration-to-detonation transition.' In this case, burning ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Suddenly, there's a flash of intense light and heat, followed by a rapidly expanding fireball. Combustion of high explosives is everywhere in popular culture, and it's also critical for ensuring the ...

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 ...
