In an explosion, the combustion reaction takes place within a region of space and this region of space is called the flame front. It is a zone where the fuel and the combustive mixed up more precisely. An explosion can be deflagration or a detonation depending on the speed of the flame front. In this flame front, as the mixture is limited to a very narrow space, the temperature of the flames is often several thousand degrees.
