Study of the Characteristics of Shock-Heated Gases on the EKUD Experimental Complex
摘要
Abstract
The results of studies conducted at the EKUD experimental complex of the Institute of Mechanics of Moscow State University over the past ten years are analyzed. They include primarily the radiation characteristics of shock-heated gases measured in a wide range of wavelengths (λ = 115–1100 nm) at shock wave velocities up to 11.4 km/s and the gas pressure in front of the shock wave of 0.25 Torr, as well as the ignition characteristics of combustible mixtures based on hydrogen, propane, and propylene obtained at both low (T ≤ 1000 K) and high (T ≥ 1000 K) temperatures. Electron concentrations in the low-temperature plasma in the vicinity of a strong shock wave were measured.
