Abstract
Properties of spherical detonation waves of various fueloxidizer gas mixtures have been determined. The detonations were produced in 65 cm diameter thin walled rubber balloons; gases were initially at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Experimental data were recorded with a high-speed strip film camera. Results showed that: (1) the propagation rates of stabilized spherical detonation waves of all systems studied are similar to those measured in long tubes, (2) the induction distances of acetyleneoxygen mixtures are inversely related to the ignition energy, and (3) the combustion waves were initially overdriven regardless of the method of ignition.
