Chapman-Jouquet Detonation Problem (det)


Table of Contents

Chapman-Jouguet detonation properties are calculated for a set of unburned gaseous reactants at assigned temperatures and pressures.   Calculations are described in Chapter 8 in NASA RP-1311, Part I, 1994.

Please refer to example 6.

UNITS
The temperature-unit options are: Kelvin (default); Rankine; Celsius; and Fahrenheit.   The pressure-unit options are: bar (default); atm; psia; and mmHg.   In each case, the selected unit applies to all the values listed.

VALUES
The initial reactants must be gaseous and have coefficient data in the NASA thermodynamic data.   Up to 16 values may be entered for the initial temperatures as well as 16 values for initial pressure.   For each pressure, CEAgui will do calculations for all temperatures listed.

Use the ENTER, RETURN, TAB key or click on the next empty cell after each table entry.

OUTPUT
Thermodynamic properties are listed along with the C-J detonation parameters for burned and unburned gases.   The output for example 6 includes thermal transport properties for burned gases.   This is an option in the Output dataset.
