Chain reactions of gas combustion, explosion, and detonation: Chemical methods for process management

Аннотация

It has been shown that gas-phase combustion processes, in contrast to the formed opinion, proceed via a branched-chain mechanism not only under extremely low pressure without temperature change but also at atmospheric pressure and increased pressures in any temperature mode. The features of ignition, flame propagation, explosion, and detonation of gases have been explained on the basis of the theory of nonisothermal chain reactions and experimentally confirmed for pressure and temperature regions important for technology. Chemical methods for the management of these combustion modes have been developed.
