I came here looking for what symbol it typically has in equations, so it might be a useful piece of information to include. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.11.196.206 (talk) 21:54, 23 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Burn rate over 347 m/s does not imply detonation

edit

The article stated that a sample burning at over 247 m/s detonates, which is wrong. A substance detonates if the reaction is driven by a supersonic shock front. The velocity of detonation is not related to the speed of sound in air, but to the speed of sound in the detonating substance. 83.254.151.5 (talk) 16:26, 18 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
