Experimental study on two-phase pulse detonation engine model

In order to investigate the influence of characteristics parameters on detonation wave in a two-phase pulse detonation engine model. The peak detonation pressures and average velocities of two-phase pulsed detonation wave produced by PDE model using gasoline as fuel and air as oxidizer under various ignition frequencies and various mixture ratios are measured systematically, and the relations influencing them are analyzed. The experimental results have shown that for a given length of PDE model the performance of PDE model decreases with increase of a and the ignition frequency is equal to the pulse detonation frequency.
