Abstract:
Calculated and experimental data on the most important parameters of combustion and detonation of saturated hydrocarbons C$_n$H$_{2n+2}$ (from methane to eicosane) in mixtures with oxygen and air in wide ranges of initial parameters (pressure, temperature, fuel concentration, and its phase state) are presented.
Keywords:combustion, detonation, critical diameter of diffraction, critical initiation energy.
