Column crystalhzers of the end-fed type can be used for purification of many eutectic-type systems and for aqueous as well as organic systems (McKay loc. cit.). Column ciystaUizers have been used for xylene isomer separation, but recently other separation technologies including more efficient melt ciystaUization equipment have tended to supplant the Phillips style ciystaUizer.

A detailed study performed by McKay et al. (1989) revealed some of the conditions necessary for a turbulent jet to initiate a detonation directly. These experiments are covered in more detail in Section 4.1.5. 

A deflagration-detonation transition was first observed in 1985 in a large-scale experiment with an acetylene-air mixture (Moen et al. 1985). More recent investigations (McKay et al. 1988 and Moen et al. 1989) showing that initiation of detonation in a fuel-air mixture by a burning, turbulent, gas jet is possible, provided the jet is large enough. Early indications are that the diameter of the jet must exceed five times the critical tube diameter, that is approximately 65 times the cell size.
