deflagrációtól

Deflagrációtól is a Hungarian term that translates to "deflagration" in English. It refers to a rapid combustion process that propagates through a material at subsonic speeds. This is in contrast to detonation, which involves supersonic propagation and a shock wave.

The process of deflagration involves the rapid burning of a fuel-air mixture. This burning creates a high-pressure, high-temperature gas that expands and pushes against the surrounding unburnt material, causing it to heat up and ignite. This chain reaction continues, propagating the flame front at a speed that is typically less than the speed of sound in the unburnt material.

Deflagration can occur with a wide range of substances, including flammable gases, vapors, dusts, and even some solid materials. Examples include the burning of natural gas in a stove, the explosion of gunpowder, or the rapid burning of fine dust particles in an enclosed space. While deflagration is a rapid process, it is generally less destructive than a detonation. However, in confined spaces, the rapid expansion of gases during deflagration can lead to significant pressure buildup and potential structural damage. Understanding the difference between deflagration and detonation is crucial in fields such as fire safety, explosives engineering, and combustion science.
