Abstract

A new method for determining the detonability of fuel is proposed based on the measured values ​​of the detonation run-up distance and time in the standard pulsed detonation tube (PDT). Granulated polypropylene (GP) was used as a fuel. A test bench with the PDT and a gas generator was designed and manufactured for the preparation of the GP pyrolysis products at a decomposition temperature of up to 800 °C. Experiments on deflagration-to-detonation transition in air mixtures of pyrolysis products of the GP showed that such mixtures exhibit detonability close to that of liquefied hydrocarbon gas (LPG) of the propane-butane automobile brand in a stoichiometric mixture with air under normal conditions.
