The hottest issue toward the environment today is the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and Green House Gases (GHG) which influenced climate change. At the same time, the world is facing the crisis of limited reserves of petroleum-based fuel resource which is being continuously depleted. Therefore, these three issues can possibly be overcome by using alternative fuels such as biogas, biodiesel, biomass, biofuel, alcohol, vegetable oils etc. The use of biogas as fuel for Pulse Detonation Engine (PDE) possibly promise great advantages on power production with less emission. This is because PDE operates with higher thermodynamic efficiency by operating on constant volume pressure. Biogas usage will somewhat contributed to the CDM and and lessen the GHG issues. Here through detailed literature review, the challenges such as lower flame speed (compared to hydrocarbon fuel) and biogas impurities are discussed. Combustion characteristics of biogas in detonation mode are also investigated. Strategy is presented here for looking at the possibility of PDE operation using biogas.

AbstractThe experiment system of pulse detonation engine is set up to investigate on influence of diameter on detonation acoustic characteristic. The research of detonation acoustic characteristic of pulse detonation engine for four different diameters in different angles is carried out. Results from the test show that as the PDE diameter increasing, there are increases in amplitudes of impact noise in all angles, and the growth rate of amplitude of impact noise in the 90° direction is generally greater than that in the 0° direction. The smaller PDE diameter is, the distance of most obvious directivity at 0° turning to most obvious directivity at 30° is shorter. When the distance is shorter, such as 200 mm, the duration of detonation acoustic is increasing with the increase of PDE diameter, however, when the distance is longer, such as 3000 mm, it is just the opposite. The maximum duration of detonation acoustic is appeared in 3000 mm under 30 mm PDE diameter which reaches to 1.44 ms.
