PARAMETRIC ANALYSIS ON THE POST SHOCK-WAVE RELAXATION ZONE OF CARBON PARTICLE LADEN OXYGEN GAS

The dependence of the postshock flow field in two-phase detonation on the initial carbon mass loading and the initial carbon particle diameter has been examined in this study, and it was found that their effects were noticeable in the thermal and fluid mechanical properties as well as the total relaxation zone length. The relaxation zone length was observed to decrease either as the carbon mass loading increased or as the initial carbon particle diameter decreased. Depending on the initial loading ratio, the suspension properties reached a disparate final equilibrium state. However, changing the initial carbon particle diameter for a given carbon mass loading did not affect the postshock equilibrium state. © 1990.
