Detonation Decomposition of Acetylene at Atmospheric Pressure in the Presence of Small Additives of Oxygen

  • Published:
Combustion, Explosion, and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

A pulse gas-detonation device (PGDD) is applied to investigate the process of initiation and detonation in C2H2+\(k\)O2 acetylene–oxygen mixtures, including those with a low oxygen content near the upper detonation concentration limit, at initial atmospheric pressure. Cell sizes, detonation velocities, and pressures in detonation products are measured in a range of \(k\) from zero to unity. The detonation product composition is calculated. Upper detonation limits in the PGDD barrels with diameters of 14, 26, 46, and 104 mm are determined. The volume of booster charges required to initiate detonation in the limiting modes are revealed. As for the hydrogen energy industry, the methane \(\to\) acetylene \(\to\) hydrogen + nanosized detonation carbon technological chain is considered, and the characteristics of the PGDD as a hydrogen generator are estimated.
