Effects of Attenuating Materials on Detonation Induction Distances in Gases

Abstract
The effectiveness of acoustic absorbing wall materials in delaying the onset of detonation in gases is explored. Experiments are reported for stoichiometric H2–O2 mixtures in two‐inch diameter cylindrical tubes. The results show that the detonation induction distance may be increased by as much as a factor of two by making the walls of the tube of porous sintered bronze.
