Computation of the detonation limits in gaseous hydrogen-containing mixtures

A systematic investigation was undertaken of the possibility to derive a one-dimensional detonation limit theory using the hydrogen-containing mixture as an example. The treatment was based on a detailed hydrogen oxidation scheme. It was shown that the one-dimensional theory satisfactorily predicts the detonation limits as a function of the composition, initial temperature, the pressure, and the inert diluent type and content.
