Abstract

Experimental measurements of the induct ion distances are given for hydrogen-oxygen, acetyleneoxygen, acetylene-air, methane-oxygen, carbon monoxide-oxygen, hydrogen-oxygen-nitrogen, hydrogen-oxygen-hel ium, hydrogen-oxygen-argon, and hydrogen-oxygen-carbon dioxide mixtures at initial pressures of 1, 5, 10 and 25 a t m . An empirical relationship involving the combust ion t e m perature, burning velocity, sonic velocity in the unburned gas and Reynolds number based on the burning velocity has been established to predict detonation induction distances of certain c o m bustible gas mixtures. The correlation is not satisfactory for mixtures containing hydrocarbons; an explanation of this discrepancy is offered.
