Detonation propagation and detonation limits in gaseous ternary systems of methane, ethane, n-propane, and n-butane with oxygen and nitrogen have been studied in a 50-mm bore tube, at 1 bar.a and room temperature, after initiation by a denotating mixture of stoichiometric hydrogen and oxygen. Fuel-lean limit concentrations in each system are largely independent of increased diluent concentration up to mixtures with air, but fuel-rich limit concentrations vary and in the case of n-propane and n-butane appear dependent on energy release from condensation processes. For both dilutions, however, the results support once again the opinion that shock temperatures of at least 1200 K are a prerequisite for stable, viable detonation of aliphatic natural gas constituents confined in tubes with nitrogen and/or oxygen. On a relative scale, for mixtures with air, methane appeared least and ethane most detonable.
