Combustion of Iron—Zirconium Thermitein a Cylindrical Channel of Near-Critical Diameter

摘要

A gasless combustion wave in a cylindrical channel of near-critical diameter under conditions ofintense heat losses has a wide preheat zone with considerable excess enthalpy. Changes of the thermal waveunder the action of reaction retardation and acceleration waves propagating over the front surface resemblethe phenomena observed during the combustion of propellants and explosives.
