Deflagration is referred as :

  • A.An extremely rapid oxidation reaction accompanied by violent disruptive effect, high-speed shock wave
  • B.A very rapid oxidation reaction accompanied by the generation of low intensity pressure wave that can disrupt the surroundings
  • C.Removing the safety fuse of the explosives
  • D.Expansion of gases

Answer: B

Deflagration is a very rapid oxidation reaction accompanied by the generation of a low-intensity pressure wave that can disrupt the surroundings.

In a deflagration the reaction front moves through the material by heat transfer at less than the speed of sound in it. It produces a rapid push of hot gases, as in black powder or smokeless propellant, which is why low explosives deflagrate.

The first option describes detonation, in which a supersonic shock wave carries the reaction and produces a violent shattering effect, the behaviour of high explosives. Removing a safety fuse and the expansion of gases are not definitions of deflagration.
