Yeah, I'm not familiar with the "critical diameter" and what it means that it
is about 1/4" for liquid nitrous oxide.

The critical diameter is the diameter at which a detonation can proceed down a
tube.
Smaller than that, the detonation should not propagate, large than that, it
should.

It's touched on here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosive_material

and is more detailed here:
