DETONATION AND SHOCK-TUBE STUDIES OF HYDRAZINE AND NITROUS OXIDE

摘要

In continuing studies of kinetic and detonative properties of simple compounds, which contain nitrogen, experiments investigating the detonability of hydrazine - nitrous oxide mixtures are reported. No detonations could be produced in mixtures containing less than 7 vol.％ of N2O. Pure hydrazine shows a detonation velocity of about 2450 m/sec, which is close to the theoretical value calcu¬lated on the assumption of chemical equilibrium in the CHAPMAK-JOUGUET region. The measured velocities meet some of the criteria for stable detonations.
