Explosion temperature

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The explosion temperature is the highest temperature reached in an explosion. A chemical chain reaction begins at the deflagration temperature, ie more energy is released during decomposition than was originally supplied. This increases both the reaction rate and the reaction temperature to a typical end value for the substance, which is generally referred to as the explosion temperature. This temperature is characteristic of the type and quality of an explosive. G. Tamman proved in 1919 that the pressure has no influence on the explosion temperature.
