Title: THE FORMATION OF DETONATION IN SATURATED MIXTURES OF KNALLGAS-STEAM AND IN STOICHIOMETRIC MIXTURES OF DEUTERIUM-OXYGEN (HEAVY WATER). Final Report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4255176

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the reaction characteristics of satuated mixtures of knall gas (stoichiometric mixture of hydrogen and oxygen) --steam and mixtures of heavy knall gas (stoichm-ometric mixture of deuterion and oxygen) saturated with heavy water. These mixtues were studied experimentally over composition ranges from no reaction limit to enriched compositions which supported detonations. (auth)
