摘要

An analytical and experimental investigation was conducted to determine the operating characteristics of an intermittent-combustion device employing gaseous detonative combustion. Gaseous propane and air were seed as propellants in the experimental investigation.nResults indicated that the intermittent-detonation device was capable of operating on at least two "resonant" spark-energization fre¬quencies. For the device used in the investiga¬tion these frequencies were approximately 25 and 50 cpa. Reaction thrust, noise output, and actual combustion frequency were noticeably greater at the resonant conditions than at other operating points.
