The following Table 6-2. shows a comparison of the theory with 
experiments of Lewis and Friauf on stoichiometric mixtures of hydrogen and 
oxygen with additions of helium and argon. As the authors state, their 
measurements were not very accurate and in the case of the stoichiometric 
mixture they obtained a detonation velocity lower than that found by Dixon, 
This may be due to a rather narrow tube (19 mm.) used in their experiments.
