  2. Thermobaric weapon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermobaric_weapon

    A full salvo from the TOS-1 will cover a rectangle 200 by 400 m (220 by 440 yd). [47] The Iskander-M theatre ballistic missile can also carry a 700 kg (1,540 lb) thermobaric warhead. [48] Many Russian Air Force munitions have thermobaric variants. The 80 mm (3.1 in) S-8 rocket has the S-8DM and S-8DF thermobaric variants.

  3. Flashover - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashover

    This is referred to as smoke explosion or fire gas ignition depending on the severity of the combustion process. A hot rich flashover occurs when the hot smoke with flammable gas ratio above the upper limit of flammability range and temperature higher than the ignition temperature leaves the compartment. Upon dilution with air it can ...

  4. Bomb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomb

    A thermobaric bomb is a type of explosive that utilizes oxygen from the surrounding air to generate an intense, high-temperature explosion, and in practice the blast wave typically produced by such a weapon is of a significantly longer duration than that produced by a conventional condensed explosive. The fuel-air bomb is one of the best-known ...

  5. Effects of nuclear explosions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_nuclear_explosions

    Energy from a nuclear explosion is initially released in several forms of penetrating radiation. When there is surrounding material such as air, rock, or water, this radiation interacts with and rapidly heats the material to an equilibrium temperature (i.e. so that the matter is at the same temperature as the fuel powering the explosion).

  7. Explosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosion

    An explosion is a rapid expansion in volume of a given amount of matter associated with an extreme outward release of energy, usually with the generation of high temperatures and release of high-pressure gases. Explosions may also be generated by a slower expansion that would normally not be forceful, but is not allowed to expand, so that when ...

  9. Deflagration to detonation transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflagration_to_detonation...

    The main mechanism of detonation propagation is of a powerful pressure wave that compresses the unburnt gas ahead of the wave to a temperature above the autoignition temperature. In technical terms, the reaction zone (chemical combustion) is a self-driven shock wave where the reaction zone and the shock are coincident, and the chemical reaction ...
