Title: Initial hydrogen detonation data from the High-Temperature Combustion Facility

Conference ·
OSTI ID:54567

The BNL High-Temperature Combustion Facility (HTCF) has been constructed as an experimental research tool for the purpose of characterizing the influence of elevated gas mixture temperature on the inherent sensitivity of hydrogen-air-steam mixtures to undergo detonation, on the potential for deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT), on the phenomena of hot jet initiation of detonation, and on detonation transmission. This summary presents a brief description of the facility, describes the initial test program, and presents results of experiments performed as part of the initial phase of the planned testing program.
