Fuel and air mixed before entering combustion chamber
Diffusion flame
Fuel and air mix and burn inside the combustion chamber
Fuel-to-air ratio will change within the chamber (spatially, temporally)
Detonation
A supersonic wave passes through followed by a thin reaction zone
Associated with significant pressure difference across wave
Deflagration
A subsonic wave passes through followed by a thin or broad
reaction zone
Minimal pressure difference across wave

Deflagration
vs upon
Detonation
Depending
various conditions, an explosive medium may support either
a deflagration or a detonation wave. The most obvious conditions are confinement, mixture ratio, and ignition source.
Original studies of gaseous detonations have shown no single sequence of
events due primarily to what is now known as the complex cellular structure of
a detonation wave. The primary result of an ordinary thermal initiation always
appears to be a flame that propagates with subsonic
b speed.
