Performance optimization of pulse detonation engine

The Pulse Detonation Engine (PDE) is a future air vehicle propulsion system. PDE acts as a high efficient engine for supersonic propulsion due to its light weight. The thermodynamic efficiency of Pulse Detonation Engine has greater efficiency of 50 percentage than that of constant pressure cycles of Gas Turbine/Scramjets/Ramjets which is of 35 percentage when compared. The main objective of this project is to produce a viable design for detonation to occur and to analyze the performance of the PDE under various conditions. The most optimized modification is done on the design and its performance is compared with the conventional design. CFD analysis is made to estimate the performance of PDE.
