Transition of the Combustion Wave of a Heterogeneous System through a Shaped Obstacle

详细

The transition of the combustion wave of a titanium powder layer in air through an inert shaped obstacle has been experimentally studied. It has been shown that an inhomogeneous wave-like structure of the combustion front can form due to the limited supply of gaseous reagents and the thermal instability of combustion of the titanium powder layer. Conditions of the optimal transient combustion mode in the presence of gaseous impurities affecting gas exchange in the reaction zone and the stability of the front in the layered system are obtained. It is shown that there exists a phenomenological criterion for assessing the nature of the transient combustion mode of titanium powder depending on the shape of the inert obstacle and the combustion front.
