After an introductory chapter the authors explore the "simple theory," including the Zeldovich–von Newmann–Doering model, and experimental tests of the simple theory. The chapters that follow cover flow in a reactive medium, steady detonation, the nonsteady solution, and the structure of the detonation by: This book introduces the detonation phenomenon to engineers and graduate students with a background in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.

It is mostly qualitative, to illustrate the physical aspects of detonation. Classical theories of detonation waves are presented, followed by chapters on the unstable by: Detonation: Theory and Experiment Wildon Fickett, William C.

The Chemistry of Explosives provides an overview of the history of explosives, taking the reader to future developments.

The text on the classification of explosive materials contains much data on the physical parameters of primary. observed in ignition events, combustion, and detonation waves. The introduction, Chapter 1, presents a brief summary of the author’s ideas and theory for the book. Whether or not one agrees with the limitations of first-law-based theories in predicting ignition and combustion phenom-ena, the broader philosophy behind Terao’s argument is.

Detonation gun spray equipment is basically a long water-cooled barrel with inlet valves for gases and powder (Figure 22).Oxygen and fuel gas, acetylene being the most common one, is fed into the barrel along with a charge of powder.

A spark plug is used to ignite the gas mixture and the resulting detonation heats and accelerates the powder to supersonic velocity down the barrel.Buy Detonation: Theory and Experiment (Dover Books on Physics) by Fickett, Wildon, Davis, William C., Physics () Paperback by (ISBN:) from Amazon's Book Store.
