DEFLAGARATION
- Jigar Dodia
Eg. Combustion in Gas stove, Fuel air mixture in IC Engine, Rapid burning of
gunpowder in firearm, pyrotechnic mixture in fireworks.
Detonation
The velocity of detonation in solid and liquid explosives is much higher than
that in gaseous ones.
Pulse detonation engines use the detonation wave for aerospace propulsion.
The Hugoniot-diagram
Deflagration to Detonation
In both cases, gas phase turbulence enhances combustion rates to a point where a shock wave is formed
ahead of the flame front. If further flame acceleration occurs, the leading shock wave is strengthened
until a transition to detonation occurs.
Deflagration-to-Detonation Transition
(DDT)
During the DDT, the initial peak pressure reached is higher than the final
pressure reached when the stable detonation phase occurs, and the
detonation wave is described as overdriven.
