Detonation Engine

A power generation technique utilizing a pulse detonation engine to drive a piston connected to a linear power generator is described. Coupled magnetic–electric–mechanical models for the mass–spring–damper system are developed. The system is characterized by nonlinear damping due to the rare earth permanent magnets used in the architecture of the generator and a piecewise continuous external forcing function from the pulsed detonation. An analytical model is built to simulate the system, calculate the electromagnetic forces and estimate the power output. The analytical model used in this concept is suitable for flat type linear generators.

Detonation Engine

Pulse Detonation Engine (PDE), is an emerging and promising propulsive technology all over the world in the past few decades. A pulse detonation engine (PDE) is a type of propulsion system that uses detonation waves to combust the fuel and oxidizer mixture. Theoretically, a PDE can be operate from subsonic to hypersonic flight speeds. Pulsed detonation engines offer many advantages over conventional air-breathing engines and are regarded as potential replacements for air-breathing and rocket propulsion systems, for platforms ranging from subsonic unmanned vehicles, long-range transportation, high-speed vehicles, space launchers to space vehicles. This article highlights the operating cycle of PDE, starting with the fuel-oxidizer mixture, combustion and Deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) followed by purging. PDE combustion process, 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 paper is the extension of the previous study which is also a well characterized status report of PDE in different areas. The present study deals with the categorization of the design approach, computations & simulations, flow visualization, DDT & Thrust enhancement, PDRE’s, experimental detonation engines with some of the experience and research undertaken in Punjab Engineering College under the complete supervision and guidance of Prof. Tejinder Kumar Jindal followed by applications of PDE technology.

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.
