Abstract

This study addresses the ignition delay time for hydrogen-oxygen mixtures at high concentrations at the sudden rise in pressure. Using a shock tube facility, measurements on ignition delay times of hydrogen-oxygen mixtures diluted with argon (20-30%) were conducted. The experiments have been carried out under normal shock wave conditions at temperatures of 1000-1300 K, pressure of 0.450barfor rich mixtures as well as lean mixtures
