Abstract
Given the rapid development of the oil and gas industry, the matter of assessment of the explosion resistance of buildings and structures at multicomponent gas mixture transportation and processing facilities remains of relevance. The paper investigates the sensitivity to the initiation of explosive transformation of methane and air mixtures of hydrogen and methane homologues depending on the component composition. Estimates were obtained of the sizes of detonation cells of methane and hydrogen mixtures, which allows for a more accurate definition of the class of sensitivity to detonation.
