Journal ArticleDOI
Detonation in gases
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review recent progress in gaseous detonation experiment, modeling, and simulation and discuss the implications of this for detonation propagation and dynamic behavior such as diffraction, initiation, and quenching or failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flammability limits, ignition energy, and flame speeds in H2–CH4–NH3–N2O–O2–N2 mixtures
TL;DR: In this paper, flammability maps of hydrogen-methane-ammonia-nitrous oxide-oxygen-nitrogen mixtures were determined and the influence of small amounts of oxygen on the flammable properties of these mixtures has been investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid evaporation at the superheat limit
TL;DR: In an experimental investigation of the transient processes that occur when a single droplet of butane at the superheat limit vaporizes explosively, short-exposure photographs and fast-response pressure measurements have been used to construct a description of the complete explosion process as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analytical Model for the Impulse of Single-Cycle Pulse Detonation Tube
TL;DR: In this article, an analytical model for the impulse of a single-cycle pulse detonation tube was developed and validated against experimental data, based on the pressure history at the thrust surface of the tube.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct Experimental Impulse Measurements for Detonations and Deflagrations
TL;DR: Wintenberger et al. as discussed by the authors used a ballistic pendulum arrangement for detonations and deflagrations in a tube closed at one end to measure the ballistic impulse of a single-cycle Pulse Detonation Engine.
