The results of calculations of the self-sustaining Chapman–Jouguet detonation of a carbon dust–oxygen gas suspension are presented under the assumption of chemical equilibrium in the detonation combustion products. The influence of the mass fraction of carbon in such a gas suspension on the parameters realized at the detonation front is investigated. A self-similar solution is constructed numerically, allowing one to simulate the structure of a plane wave behind the detonation front. The influence of the presence of carbon particles in the detonation products on this structure is analyzed when the mass of carbon in the gas suspension exceeds the mass of oxygen.
