Abstract: | Experimental and numerical studies of the detonation in NO2-N2O4/fuel (H2, CH4, and C2H6) gaseous mixtures show that for equivalence ratio Φ>0.8-1, (1) the detonation has a double cellular structure, the ratio between the cell size of each net being at least one order of magnitude; (2) inside the detonation reaction zone the chemical energy is released in two successive exothermic steps. Their chemical induction lengths, defined between the leading shock front and each local maximum heat release rate associated with each step, differ by at least one order of magnitude. The chemical reaction NO2 + H → NO + OH is mainly responsible for the first exothermic step (fast kinetics), NO being the oxidizer on the second one (slow kinetics). Existence of correlations between calculated induction lengths and corresponding cell sizes strengthen the assumption that the cellular structure originates from local strong gradients of chemical heat release inside the detonation reaction zone. |
