Be. Gelfand et al., BASIC SELF-IGNITION REGIMES AND CONDITIONS FOR THEIR REALIZATION IN COMBUSTIBLE GAS-MIXTURES, Combustion, explosion, and shock waves, 33(2), 1997, pp. 127-133
Self-ignition of hydrogen-air mixtures has been studied experimentally
. This process was initiated behind a reflected shock wave at an initi
al pressure of up to 0.5 MPa and with hydrogen volume contents ranging
from 9.5-20 and 40-60%. Simultaneous recording of pressure and temper
ature profiles near the end of a shock: tube made it possible to revea
l the specific features of various self-ignition regimes and the regio
ns of their existence. The peculiarities of the realization and evolut
ion of mild and strong self-ignition processes are discussed, and a co
mparison with self-ignition of carbon-air mixtures is done.
