	Pulse Detonation Engine
		Deflagration is what happens when you burn a mixture of air and fuel at reasonably low pressure.
		Deflagration is, believe it or not, a relatively gentle process which is simply the rapid burning the fuel.
		One of the primary attributes of deflagration is that the flame travels at a speed significantly lower than the speed of sound.

	Deflagration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Deflagration is a process of subsonic combustion that usually propagates through thermal conductivity (hot burning material heats the next layer of cold material and ignites it).
		Deflagration is different from detonation which is supersonic and propagates through shock compression.
		Typical examples of deflagrations are combustion of a gas-air mixture in a gas stove or a fuel-air mixture in an internal combustion engine, a rapid burning of a gunpowder in a firearm or pyrotechnic mixtures in fireworks.

	Safety Report Assessment Guide: Chemical warehouses hazards
		Unfortunately there are two distinct types of explosion which are referred to as deflagration and detonation and these tend to be confused in the literature on account of the fact that the effects of deflagration and detonations are not always a clear guide to the nature of the explosion.
		The velocity of the deflagration front in a solid in the open air is quite different from that in a solid contained in a closed vessel, because the velocity of reaction front increases with the pressure exerted on the solid by the combustion gases.
		Deflagration is not constrained by dimensions and is said to occur when a subsonic combustion generated pressure wave moves through the material.

	Solid State Technology - Challenges and solutions for germane (GeH4) packaging
		Deflagration is defined as the chemical reaction of a substance in which the reaction front advances into the unreacted substance at less than sonic velocity.
		Deflagration of germane was induced with adsorbent loadings of 0%, 30%, and 90%/unit volume.
		Deflagration of germane inside the primary reactor was induced by applying 6 VDC to a 0.25mm nichrome fuse wire for a pre-set period of time.

		A deflagration is a combustion wave propagating at less than the speed of sound as measured in unburned gas immediately ahead of the flame front.
		A severe deflagration arrestment test involves placing a restricting orifice behind the arrestor (that is, upstream relative to the direction of wave propagation).
		Such "restricted end"deflagration testing constitutes a severe deflagration arrestment test, yet such testing is believed to represent an operating environment that can exist in fact from various conditions, such as when, for example, a closed or partially closed valve in a pipe is located upstream from a functioning arrestor in the pipeline.

	Pulse detonation engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All regular jet engines and most rocket engines operate on the deflagration of fuel — that is, the rapid but subsonic combustion of fuel.
		Detonation is inherently more efficient than deflagration, thus while the maximum energy efficiency of most types of jet engines is around 30%, a PDE can attain an efficiency theoretically near 50%.
		While it is possible to start a detonation directly with a large spark, the amount of energy input is very large and is not practical for an engine.

	Detonation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Detonation is a process of supersonic combustion that involves a shock wave and a reaction zone behind it.
		It is the more powerful of the two forms of explosion, the other one being deflagration.
		This self-sustained detonation wave is different from a deflagration that propagates with a subsonic speed and without a shock.

	Explosion Theory
		Deflagration is a rapid chemical reaction in which the output of heat is enough to enable the reaction to proceed and be accelerated without input of heat from another source.
		Deflagration is a surface phenomenon with the reaction products flowing away from the un-reacted material along the surface at subsonic velocity.
		The effect of a true deflagration under confinement is an explosion.

		Before the effects and hazards of an explosion can be described the reader must understand the difference between deflagration and detonation.
		Deflagration (Rapid Combustion) Deflagration is the rapid combustion or rapid burning of an explosive.
		Detonation (Instantaneous Combustion) Detonation can be defined as most rapid form of combustion and is often times referred to as "instantaneous combustion." However, detonation is not exactly instantaneous there is a short time interval (microseconds) for the combustion action to transfer from one particle of the explosive compound to the next.

		The type of combustion (i.e., deflagration or detonation) supported by a two-step reaction scheme is studied as a function of the activation energies.
		It is shown that both a deflagration to detonation transition and a deflagration wave that lags behind a leading shock are possible.
		Two types of deflagration to detonation transitions are found theoretically: initiation of detonation from the flame zone and initiation of detonation along a contact discontinuity in the compressed gas near the primary shock wave.

	D
		Deflagration, although classed as an explosion, generally implies the burning of a substance with self-contained oxygen so that the reaction zone advances into the unreacted material at less than the velocity of sound in the material.
		In this case, heat is transferred from the reacted to the unreacted material by conduction and convection.
		Detonation velocities lie in the approximate range of 1,400 to 9,000 m/s = 5,000 to 30,000 ft/s; slower explosive reactions, which are propagated by thermal conduction and radiation, are known as deflagration.

		Neither deflagration nor detonation alone can account for both the abundances of intermediate-mass nuclei, and the abundances of iron-peak nuclei as well as the large expansion velocity of the ejecta that are produced in a Type Ia supernova.
		This deflagration wave may rapidly die out, due to the shallower depth of the accreted matter away from the magnetic polar cap, or may reach the opposite magnetic polar cap, igniting the accreted matter that is pooled there.
		However, the speed of the deflagration front is likely to be highly subsonic; indeed, the propagation of the front is so slow that the use of the explicit schemes that can be successfully used to model (for example) detonation waves is not sensible.

		Deflagration flame arrestors are available with either gauze pack elements or crimped metal ribbon construction.
		Therefore, if flow rate and pressure drop are critical, then a deflagration flame arrestor is often preferable to the comparable detonation arrestor.
		In critical installations it may be desirable to be able to switch to a standby line while flame arrestor inspection and maintenance occur.

		The deflagration rate of an explosive consists of the chemical burning of the material wherein its propagation rates are dependent on chemical kinetics.
		The differences between detonation and deflagration are extreme; both phenomena are used to perform specific functions.
		In general, a detonation is used for fracturing without the use of a pressure buildup; whereas a deflagration builds up a pressure which in turn performs useful work.

		In case of flash powder, the difference can not be heard, as the whole detonation is a sort of a deflagration at the same time.
		If the deflagration or the expanding gases are considerably faster than 330 m/s (sound velocity in air), it will cause a shockwave in the surrounding air.

		Deflagration is the familiar everyday combustion observed when a match is struck.
		The deflagration wave, through a process called deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT), is accelerated into a phenomenon known as a detonation.
		Unlike a deflagration, which travels at subsonic speeds and only produces peak pressure rises of two to three times atmospheric pressure, a detonation travels at Mach 5-6 and produces peak pressure rises of 30 to 100 atm.
