Detonation involves a supersonic exothermic front accelerating through a medium that eventually drives a shock front propagating directly in front of it. Detonations occur in both conventional solid and liquid explosives, as well as in reactive gases. The velocity of detonations in solid and liquid explosives is much higher than that in gaseous on...
• (n.) An explosion or sudden report made by the instantaneous decomposition or combustion of unstable substances` as, the detonation of gun cotton.
Where the combustion wave or flame travels into the un-reacted gas as a steep pressure wave faster than the speed of sound.
(from the article `chemical industry`) A minor but still important segment of the explosives industry is the production of detonating agents, or such priming compositions as lead azide ... ...so that the flame front area advances at a supersonic velocity, compression from the shock wave causes an increase in temperature that results in ...
The sudden and violent release of mechanical, chemical or nuclear energy from a confined space which creates a shock wave that travels at supersonic speeds. Often used interchangeably with explosion.
A deflagration with a coincident shock wave and flame front travelling through a flammable mixture at supersonic speed.
An exothermic chemical reaction which propagates through reactive material at supersonic speed
Det`o·na'tion (-nā'shŭn) noun [ Confer French détonation .] An explosion or sudden report made by the instantaneous decomposition or combustion of unstable substances; as, the detonation of gun cotton. 
The almost instantaneous release of heat energy from fuel in an engine caused by the fuel-air mixture reaching its critical pressure and temperature. It is an explosion rather than a smooth burning process.
[n] - the act of detonating an explosion
Any rapid chemical reaction accompanied by noise and often heat and light, e.g., explosions. 
noun the act of detonating an explosive
the act of detonating. · an explosion. · the premature spontaneous burning of a fuel–air mixture in an internal-combustion engine due to the high temperature of air compressed in a cylinder.
the act of setting off an explosive
