THE existence of an upper limiting pressure for explosion in thermal chain reactions has been explained in two ways. (1) The rate of branching of the chains, at the limit, is just sufficient to ...
WHEN the two pressure limits, between which the normally slow combination of hydrogen and oxygen, at, say, 540° C., becomes explosive, were first discovered, the existence of the lower limit was ...
The explosion-limit equation is considered term by term for the evaluation of the various constants and a comparison of the experimental figures with theoretical expectations. In general, the ...
