Abstract

The temperature of detonations of mixture of acetylene and oxygen at various ratios were measured by using a two-color pyrometer we made in the lab. The pyrometer was calibrated with standard solar spectrum published by ASTM. The measured temperature increased with oxygen content in pre-detonation mixture in the reaction chamber and was as high as about 4000 K at higher oxygen content.

Keywords: Temperature; Oxygen; Hydrocarbon
