Abstract
The works of David, Brown and El Din, Ellis and Morgan, and Ellis and Wheeler on ``afterburning'' have been reviewed critically and found to contain no conclusive evidence for ``afterburning.'' Experiments have been performed on explosions of hydrogen-oxygen mixtures with different inert gas in spherical vessels of different sizes which show, on the contrary, the absence of this phenomenon. The explosion method for determining heat capacities of gases may not be criticized on this account.Keywords
