Examples of deflagration
deflagration
Adding water to a burning hydrocarbon such as oil or wax produces a deflagration.
From the en.wikipedia.org
When flame velocities are low, the effect of a deflagration is to release heat.
From the en.wikipedia.org
It has been suggested that deflagration be merged into this article or section.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Unintentional detonation when deflagration is desired is a problem in some devices.
From the en.wikipedia.org
When mixed with air or other oxidizers it can explode through deflagration.
From the en.wikipedia.org
A deflagration then occurs as the fine mist of oil ignites and burns extremely rapidly.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Of more interest are the two rapid forms of decomposition, deflagration and detonation.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Deflagration is different from detonation, which is supersonic and propagates through shock.

The risks of deflagration inside waste storage drums is a growing concern in storage facilities.

- Combustion that propagates through a gas or along the surface of an explosive at a rapid rate driven by the transfer of heat
- (deflagrate) cause to burn rapidly and with great intensity; "care must be exercised when this substance is to be deflagrated"
- Deflagration (Lat: de + flagrare, "to burn down") is a technical term describing subsonic combustion that usually propagates through thermal conductivity (hot burning material heats the next layer of cold material and ignites it). ...
- An explosion with a propagation front traveling at subsonic speeds, as compared to supersonic detonation.
- To burn with sudden and startling combustion. Describes explosion of black powder, as opposed to the more rapid detonation of dynamite.
- To cause a substance to burn rapidly, with flame.
- 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. ...
- To burn, especially in a sudden and violent manner; see DET CORD, EXPLOSIVE.
- Very rapid combustion sometimes accompanied by flame, sparks and/or spattering of burning particles. ...
