Experimental Study of Explosion Wave Propagation in Hydrogen-Air Mixtures of Variable Compositions

Results are given of experimental study of propagation of explosion waves in hydrogen-air mixtures of different compositions under conditions of cumulation. The investigations are performed in a setup consisting of two parts, namely, the upper part in the form of a metal cone and the lower part in the form of a rubber envelope hermetically attached to the cone. The upper and lower parts of the experimental setup are separated by a thin rubber film and may be filled with hydrogen-air mixtures of different compositions.
