Abstract

Results of the studies show that the occurrence of chain avalanches is a necessary condition of gasphase processes of combustion not only at pressures tens of times lower than atmospheric pressure, as was thought earlier, but at almost any higher pressures in any temperature regime. It is concluded that considering the specifics of nonisothermal chain processes over a broad range of pressures allows us to explain and adequately describe observed features of combustion, explosion, and detonation (including some that were unexplained earlier). New laws important in theory and practice are predicted and revealed.
