Abstract: A 15% increase in thermal efficiency at medium pressure ratios is promised by rotating detonation engine technology over conventional Joule–Bryton cycles. A supersonic inlet turbine is a viable option to extract substantial ...

Abstract: A supersonic inlet turbine can extract substantial energy from the highly fluctuating and transonic flow delivered by a rotating detonation combustor (RDC). However, a transition duct is necessary to achieve the supersonic ...

Abstract: Rotating detonation engines (RDEs) are characterized by a thermodynamic cycle with an efficiency gain up to 15% at medium pressure ratios with respect to systems based on the conventional Joule–Bryton cycle. Multiple turbine ...
