Abstract

The features of the kinetics of the initiation of detonation condensation waves in carbon suboxide and acetylene have been experimentally studied at high pressures near the low-temperature limits. The role of quantum effects in the expansion of detonation limits has been analyzed. Quantum corrections to the endothermic reaction rates, which are caused by an increase in the high-energy tails of the momentum distribution functions at high pressures due to the manifestation of the uncertainty principle for the energy of colliding particles at a high collision frequency, have been quantitatively estimated. It has been shown that experimentally observed deviations in Arrhenius dependences of the induction periods of the initiation of detonation condensation waves are well described by the proposed quantum corrections.
