    摘要: A turbine engine has a circumferential array of combustion chamber conduits downstream of the compressor and upstream of the turbine. Means are provided for directing oxygen-containing gas from the compressor to the conduits so as to cyclically feed a gas charge into each conduit through its first port and permit discharge of combustion products of the charge and fuel through both the first and second ports.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a valveless multitube pulse detonation engine including: a plurality of detonation tubes, wherein each detonation tube comprises an independent discharge outlet, and the plurality of detonation tubes interconnected at a common air/fuel mixture intake port. In the disclosed engine, an air and fuel mixture is detonated in the detonation tubes simultaneously, and the common air/fuel mixture intake port minimizes back-pressure caused by detonating the air/fuel mixture by directing multiple reverse shock waves into one another and effectively using the back-pressures as reacting surfaces for one another and effectively reducing the effect of back flowing shock waves moving towards upstream. The detonation tubes may be non-linear, and may have independent discharges. The independent discharges may be coupled to an adapter nozzle terminating in a combined exhaust outlet.

    摘要: A pulse detonation turbine engine (PDTE) includes at least one controllable multi-tube pulse detonation combustor (PDC) configured to initiate firing of one or more pulse detonation tubes in response to operation of a plurality of controllable peripheral PDC components to regulate PDTE output characteristics. A control system including a programmable controller directed by algorithmic software operates to generate control inputs for the plurality of controllable peripheral PDC components in response to PDTE input conditions, such that one or more PD tube controllable inputs can be different for at least one PD tube relative to another PD tube within the multi-tube PDC, and further such that detonation timing can be different for at least one PD tube relative to another PD tube within the multi-tube PDC.
