MULTI-TUBE, CAN-ANNULAR PULSE DETONATION COMBUSTOR BASED ENGINE

摘要

An engine (100) contains a compressor stage (101), a pulse detonation combustion stage (105) and a turbine stage (103). The pulse detonation combustion stage contains at least one pulse detonation combustor (109) which has an inlet portion (111). The pulse detonation combustor is oriented longitudinally and/or tangentially with respect to a centerline of the engine. A plenum (115), a casing (107), a diffuser (119) and a shroud (113) can be added in this combustion stage to achieve better performances.
