Conclusions

  1. 1.

    We determined the values of the quenching distance, minimum ignition energy, normal combustion rate, and limiting pressure for the flame decomposition of H2Te.

  2. 2.

    H2Te is a more explosive compound than GeH4, and it approximates hydrocarbon-air mixtures in its characteristics.

  3. 3.

    The critical value of the Peclet number has an abnormally low Value in the case of flame propagation for the decomposition of H2Te in narrow channels. A qualitative explanation of this result is proposed.
