A Characterized Status Report on Pulse Detonation Engine
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2019, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
Pulse Detonation Engine (PDE), is an exciting propulsion technology for the future and has been able to seek considerable attention over the last era. It has the potential to work efficiently in the modern cosmos. It works on a Humphrey cycle offering a great opportunity, which outweighs the conventional Brayton cycle. The operating cycle of PDE starts with the fuel-oxidizer mixture, combustion and DDT followed by purging. The PDE combustion process, which is a unique process, leads to consistent and repeatable detonation waves. This pulsed detonation combustion process causes rapid burning of the fuel-oxidizer mixture, which cannot be seen in any other combustion process as it is a thousand times faster than any other mode of combustion. PDE not only holds the capability of running effectively up to Mach 5 but it also changes the technicalities in space propulsion. The present study deals with the categorization of design approach, thermal analysis, performance analysis, fuel-based analysis, PDE combustors, detonation propagation, experimentation analysis, valving techniques, ignition studies, parameters & specification optimization, instrumentation, thrusters, parameters affecting specific impulse & thrust, hybrid PDE’s & turbine integration.
