Abstract
An experimental observation of a detonation wave driven by the energy of condensation of supersaturated carbon vapor is reported. The carbon vapor was formed by the thermal decay of unstable carbon suboxide behind shock waves in mixtures containing 10–30% in Ar. In the mixture 10% the insufficient heat release resulted in a regime of overdriven detonation. In the mixture 20% measured values of the pressure and wave velocity coincident with calculated Chapman-Jouguet parameters were attained. In the richest mixture 30% an excess heat release caused the slowing down of the condensation rate and the regime of underdriven detonation was observed.
