## Abstract The polytropic equation, together with the detonation relations, provides practicable values for all the quantities characterizing the detonation products of solid, high explosives apart from the temperature. Its application, however, is restricted to material at absolute zero, that is
In this paper, the critical energies required to initiate a cylindrical or spherical detonation are measured experimentally in ethylene-air mixtures at ambient conditions. These results are used to validate the critical explosion length invariance, linking the critical energies in the different geom
