“…Previously published works focus on the explosion of methaneeair mixtures in vessels with small scales and its corresponding parameters (Gel'fand, Medvedev, & Frolov, 1991;Kobiera, Kindracki, Zydak, & Wolanski, 2007;Kosinski, 2006;Thom & Cronin, 2009). The mechanical behavior of a gas explosion in a long duct with a cross section of the order of millimeters has been investigated by many researchers (Aleksandr & Andrei, 2008;Jo & Crowl, 2009;Marc, Andreas, & Ulrich, 2006;Trebinski & Wlodarczyk, 1986).…”
