Abstract:
A thermodynamic calculation of detonation in poorly mixed combustible gas mixtures is perfomed using the minimization of thermodynamic potentials. Results of thermodynamic calculations for poorly mixed fuel-oxygen mixtures at an initial pressure of 0.1 MPa and a temperature of 298 K are given. The nonreactive components (fuel and oxidizer) are shown to have an effect similar to the effect of inert diluents.
