This article has a potential copyright violation, a substantial portion having been copied from the University of Leeds site that it linked to. Relevant passage is this:
A mixture of nitric oxide and the vapour of carbon disulphide, contained in a long tube, is ignited. The combustion wave travels at a moderate rate down the tube compressing the gas ahead of it. At a certain distance, dependent on the diameter of the tube, the residual mixture explodes [1]. In a very long tube the passage of the explosion wave may be seen.† This reaction also produces a considerable amount of very bright blue light and is one of few examples of chemical luminescence in the gas phase.
