Minimum Specific Heat Power of Ignition of Gas Mixtures as a Thermal Sensitivity Criterion

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

Abstract

Using an air—hydrogen mixture as an example, it is shown that the minimum specific heat power of wire–bridge ignition of gas mixtures can be used as a thermal sensitivity criterion for these mixtures in the case of small dimensions of the heat source and prolonged heating.
