Abstract
When a combustible gas mixture is exploded at the center of a spherical vessel, a temperature gradient is established at the moment of maximum pressure which rises from the wall to the center. The maximum pressure recorded is lower than would have been found had the temperature been equalized without heat loss. A method for calculating this difference in pressure is described. For ozone explosions it is shown to be less than 0.2 percent in weak mixtures and less than 0.5 percent in rich mixtures. For explosions of H2 and O2 with inert gases it amounts to 0.2 to 0.8 percent.
