The effectiveness of imploding waves at detonation initiation of stoichiometric ethylene- and propane-oxygen-nitrogen mixtures in a tube was investigated. Implosions were driven by twice-shocked gas located at the end of a shock tube; and wave strength was varied to determine the critical conditions necessary for initiation as a function of diluent concentration for each fuel. Hydrocarbon-air mixtures were not detonated due to facility limitations; however; detonations were achieved with nitrogen dilutions as large as 60 and 40% in ethylene and propane mixtures; respectively. The critical-energy input required for detonation of each dilution was then estimated using the unsteady energy equation. Blast-wave initiation theory was reviewed and the effect of tube wall proximity to the blast-wave source was considered. Estimated critical energies were found to scale better with the planar initiation energy than the spherical initiation energy; suggesting that detonation initiation was influenced by wave reflection from the tube walls.
