Abstract
Results of a study of initiation of explosion. of self-igniting combus tible liquid mixtures of an oxidizer and a fuel are reported. Conditio ns under which explosion occurs and ranges of compositions for which t he process is realized are given. A is found that combustible liquid m ixtures explode upon coming in contact with alkali metals and their al loys. Boundaries of explosiveness of compositions initiated by alkali metals, the minimum portion of initiators, and the effectiveness of in itiation of explosions by the new initiation method are determined.
