Hello friends,

Iam new to this site and I hope I didn't post this form in the wrong location.

I would like to know how to calculate pressure produced by explosion?

To make it clear, here is an example:

A metal box with volume = 10cm^3. There is, let's say, gas fuel with know quantity in the box. The box have one side built with wood. So when I ignite the fuel, how much pressure will it produce to the wood?

What I am guessing, the important data we must have are;
1. Box volume.
2. fuel to air ratio.

Any ideas?

Thank you so much,

Grendizer
