detonaatioon
Detonaatioon is a Finnish term that translates to detonation in English. It refers to a very rapid combustion or decomposition process that propagates through a substance at supersonic speed. This is in contrast to deflagration, which is a slower combustion process that propagates at subsonic speeds. Detonation is characterized by the creation of a shock wave that travels through the material, compressing and heating it to a point where it reacts explosively.
The phenomena of detonation is crucial in several fields. In engineering, understanding detonation is vital for
Detonation can occur in both gases and solids. In gaseous mixtures, it often requires specific conditions such
