Abstract
During the past five years a programme of research involving air-fuel explosions in a closed vessel has been in progress at the National Physical Laboratory for the Engineering Research Board of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. Among the experimental results obtained, those relating to Carbon Monoxide and Methane were considered likely to be of interest to the Society, and form the subject of the present communication. Of the two investigations described, the first gives experimental data on the respective influences of hydrogen-air and water vapour on a carbon monoxide-air explosion, and the second relates to explosions of methane and air over a comparatively wide range of initial temperature and pressure.
