Abstract
As a kind of pressurized combustion, pulse detonation combustion brings many possibilities for the improvement of aero-engine performance.In this paper, energy and exergy analyses of pulse detonation combustor (PDC) and pulse detonation turbine engine (PDTE) cycles based on unsteady analysisare conducted. A simplified exergy flow model is proposed to describe the exergy flow of PDC under different inlet conditions, and based on this, the exergy efficiency of PDC is compared with that of an isobaric combustion chamber. In addition, the energy and exergy flows of ideal and real PDTE cycles are analyzed, and the cycle thermal and exergy efficiencies under different inlet conditions are obtained. The results show that the exergy efficiency of PDC is higher than that of an isobaric combustion chamber from an inlet pressure ratio of 3–45, but the efficiency improvement decreases from 13.2 % to 7.2 %. The thermal efficiency of the ideal PDTE cycle is higher than that of the Brayton cycle, but the efficiency improvement decreases from 78.2 % to 4.7 %. The irreversible losses in the real process will lead to energy loss during compression and expansion processes in the PDTE cycle, thus reducing its exergy efficiency and thermal efficiency.
期刊介绍:
Case Studies in Thermal Engineering provides a forum for the rapid publication of short, structured Case Studies in Thermal Engineering and related Short Communications. It provides an essential compendium of case studies for researchers and practitioners in the field of thermal engineering and others who are interested in aspects of thermal engineering cases that could affect other engineering processes. The journal not only publishes new and novel case studies, but also provides a forum for the publication of high quality descriptions of classic thermal engineering problems. The scope of the journal includes case studies of thermal engineering problems in components, devices and systems using existing experimental and numerical techniques in the areas of mechanical, aerospace, chemical, medical, thermal management for electronics, heat exchangers, regeneration, solar thermal energy, thermal storage, building energy conservation, and power generation. Case studies of thermal problems in other areas will also be considered.
