Abstract

A physical model for thermal explosion in a two-phase medium (combustible gas mixture/inert liquid drops) is developed using an adiabatic approach. The effect of the drops on the explosion process is researched qualitatively. Three main types of system behavior were found: slow regimes, fast explosion regimes, and a new type of thermal, explosion that may be termed thermal explosion with freeze delay. This is a process with significant temperature decrease before the explosion. The, peculiarities of these different dynamic regimes are investigated and their dependence on physical system parameters is analyzed.
