Pulse Detonation Engine - A Next Gen Propulsion
نویسنده
چکیده
Pulse detonation technology has the potential to revolutionise both in-atmosphere and space flight. Having an engine capable of running efficiently at Mach 5 will not only allow for faster, more efficient intercontinental travel, but will also change the way spacecrafts are launched. The preset paper discuss about the applications of Pulse detonation engines and different possible variants of the

Numerical Simulation to Investigate the Effect of Obstacle on Detonation Wave Propagation in a Pulse Detonation Engine Combustor
Pulse detonation technology can be a revolutionary approach for propulsion system since it offers significant fuel efficiency, higher thrust to weight ratio and low cost. Although the design concept of a pulse detonation engine is comparatively simple, but the development and stabilization of sustainable detonation wave front is difficult. Consequently pulse detonation engine technology is stil...
متن کاملPulse Detonation Engines: Initiation, Propagation, and Performance
Research carried out from 2003-2005 at the Explosion Dynamics Laboratories at Caltech under an ONR contract has examined many issues critical to Pulse Detonation Engine (PDE) development. These include: detonation structure imaging using OH PLIF; a narrow channel facility for examining regular and irregular detonations; detonation diffraction; mechanism of soot track generation; fundamental and...

متن کاملIntroduction: Perspectives on Detonation-Based Propulsion
D ETONATION, a shock-induced combustion process in which the heat releasemakes a strong contribution to the support of the lead shock, is one of the most rapid chemical energy release processes in nature. For self-sustained detonations propagating in gases initially at atmospheric pressure and temperature, energy release rates approaching 10 W=m are not uncommon, and propagation velocities on t...
متن کاملCharacterization of a Corona Discharge Initiator Using Detonation Tube Impulse Measurements
Experiments were carried out to determine the effectiveness of a transient plasma, i.e, corona discharge, to initiate a detonation in a short tube. A high-voltage pulse generator used a pseudo-spark switch to discharge a capacitor through a transformer connected to electrodes in the combustion initiator section. The resulting voltage pulse (90 kV for 50 ns) produced a plasma discharge consistin...
