Detonability
Detonability refers to the property of a substance or mixture to undergo detonation. Detonation is a type of supersonic combustion or decomposition wave that propagates through a material. Unlike deflagration, which is a subsonic combustion process, detonation involves a shock wave that rapidly compresses and heats the material, leading to an extremely fast and violent reaction.
The detonability of a substance is influenced by several factors, including its chemical composition, physical state,
Assessing detonability is crucial in various fields, including explosives engineering, safety management, and industrial process design.
