Hi All,
I need to find the resulting pressure of an explosion of a 50% Acetylene and 50% oxygen explosion in an enclosure. The idea is the resulting pressure as to be able to design an enclosure which will sustain such a blast.
I found the value of acetylene and used it along with Q=mcΔt to determine the final temperature. Is this method reliable for this solution?
According to the above the temperature only raised by about 35°. Considering that acetylene burns at 3500°C I am doubtful of my conclusion here. Can anyone help me in the right direction please?
