## Abstract Hazards caused by detonation of hydrocarbonβair mixtures are a continuing problem. Of the factors affecting detonation hazards of hydrocarbonβair mixtures, additives play an important role. In this paper, a series of experiments are described addressing the influence of chemical additiv

## Abstract Hazards caused by detonation of hydrocarbonβair mixtures have been a matter of concern for a long time. In this paper, critical initiation energy of detonation of some hydrocarbon air mixtures have been measured in confined (rectangle shock tube tests) and unconfined (plastic bag tests)
u', laminar flame propagation, UL, and equivalence ratio are kept constant. The equivalence ratio effect for Lefebvre and Reid's data could be included by changing the abscissa to (u'/U~)(L,,/b)C, where n is 1-3. Thus it is shown that turbulent flame propagation can be ex,3ressed in terms of turbule
This article represents a theoretical and experimental study of the problems of deflagration and detonation structure in heterogeneous media, which contains an oxidant in the gaseous phase and fuel in the form of either dispersed droplets in the oxidant flow or a thin film on the chamber walls. Deto
The effect on flame temperature, burning velocity and carbon limit of adding water vapor to a premixed flame has been investigated using a Bunsen-type burner operated at atmospheric pressure and employing propane and ethylene as fuels. The results'indicate that water vapor does not act as an inert d
