Thrust Measurement of Single Tube Valve less Pulse Detonation Engine

چکیده
In this paper we present the result of measurement of thrust of single tube valve less Pulse detonation engine. The thrust generated by the repetitive detonation from a 48 mm inner diameter ,60 mm outer diameter and 70 cm length (various lengths of tube varies from 20 cm to 100 cm in the steps of 20 cm interval ) detonation tube was measured using load cell. Schelkin spiral was used an accelerator for the deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) phenomenon. Acetylene / Oxygen mixture was used as a combustible fuel air mixture for the pulse detonation engine. The amount of thrust was measured during the test reaching up to 280N. The test was done for single shot detonation only.

This paper describes oneand two-dimensional numerical simulations, with simplified as well as full reaction kinetics, of a single cycle pulse detonation engine (PDE). Focus of the present studies is on 1) the presence of a nozzle extension at the end of the tube, and its effect on performance parameters as well as noise characteristics, 2) critical “spark ignition” energies associated with the ...
متن کاملEffect of Porous Thrust Surfaces on Detonation Transition and Detonation Tube Impulse
As pulse detonation engine development matures, it becomes increasingly important to consider how practical details such as the implementation of valves and nozzles will affect performance. Inlet valve timing and valveless inlet designs may result in flow of products back upstream and, consequently, reduction in impulse over the ideal case. Although proper inlet design or operation under flowin...

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 کاملAnalytical Models for the Thrust of a Rotating Detonation Engine
Twomodels are proposed for rotating detonation engine performance. The first model is motivated bymodels of pulse detonation engine performance which are based on the pressure-time history within the detonation tube. The present work extends those ideas to treat rotating detonation engines with a control volume analysis that considers the forces within the combustion chamber. The key scaling pa...
متن کاملDetonation Tube Impulse in Subatmospheric Environments
Thrust from a multicycle pulse detonation engine operating at practical flight altitudes will vary with surrounding environment pressure. We have carried out the first experimental study using a detonation tube hung in a ballistic pendulum arrangement within a large pressure vessel to determine the effect that the environment has on the single-cycle impulse. Air pressure decreased below 100 kPa...
