Abstract
Reaction of hydrogen and oxygen mixture in compressed water had been studied based on the principle of corresponding states and the gas phase reaction mechanism. Calculations have been carried out for the cases of heating the mixture of water, hydrogen, and oxygen under the constant volume. The results show that reaction starts at the temperatures higher than 760 K. It is also pointed out that hydrothermal reaction may enable the control of the ignition processes in diesel combustion of the hydrogen and oxygen mixture.
