A new experimental method for evaluating the detonability of fuel-air mixtures (FAMs) based on measuring the deflagration-to-detonation (DDT) run-up distance and/or time in a standard pulse detonation tube is used to rank gaseous premixed and nonpremixed FAMs by their detonability under substantially identical thermodynamic and gasdynamic conditions. In the experiments, FAMs based on hydrogen, acetylene, ethylene, propylene, propane-butane, n-pentane, and natural gas of various compositions, as well as FAMs based on the gaseous pyrolysis products of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) are used: from extremely fuel-lean to extremely fuel-rich at normal temperatures and pressures.

Pulse Detonation

This work contains experimental investigations on the correlation of the detonation initiation process via a shock-focusing device with various initial pressures and mass flow rates. A pulse detonation combustor is operated with stoichiometric hydrogen--air--oxygen mixtures in single cycle operation. A rotationally symmetric shock-focusing geometry evokes the onset of a detonation by the focusing of the reflected leading shock wave, while a blockage plate at the rear end of the test rig is applied to induce an elevated initial pressure. The results show that the reactivity has a major influence on the success rate of detonation initiation. However, measurements with different blockage plates suggest that the mass flow rate has to be considered as well when predicting the success rate. Three main statements can be drawn from the results. (1) An increase in the mean flow velocity induces higher velocity fluctuations which result in a stronger leading shock ahead of the accelerating deflagration front. (2) An increase in the initial static pressure reduces the critical shock strength that must be exceeded to ensure successful detonation initiation by shock focusing. (3) Since the initial pressure is directly linked to the mass flow rate, these contrary trends can cancel each other out, which could be observed for 40% vol. of oxygen in the oxidizer. High-speed images were taken, which confirm that the detonation is initiated in the center of the converging--diverging nozzle due to focusing of the leading shock.

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.

Detonation Process

This two-part article introduces a novel hybrid propulsion system based on the DEA compressor. The system encompasses a Pulse Detonation TurboDEA as the master engine that supplies several full-electric ancillary thrusters called DEAThruster. The system, called the propulsion set, can be categorized as a distributed propulsion system based on the design mission and number of ancillary thrusters. Part A of this article explains the design process comprising intake, compressor, detonation process, diffuser, axial turbine, and the exit nozzle. The main target is to design a high-performance low emission propulsion system capable of serving in a wide range of altitudes and flight Mach numbers that covers altitudes up to 20,000 m and flight Mach number up to the hypersonic edge. Designing the propulsion set, the design point is considered at the static condition in the sea level. Design results show the propulsion set can satisfy all requirements necessary for its mission.
