Abstract: An annular pulsed detonation combustor (PDC) basically consists of a number of detonation tubes which are firing in a predetermined sequence into a common downstream annular plenum. Fluctuating initial conditions and ...

Abstract: Approximate constant volume combustion (aCVC) is a promising way to achieve a step change in the efficiency of gas turbines. This work investigates a recently proposed approach to implement aCVC in a gas turbine combustion ...

Abstract: Constant volume combustion (CVC) cycles for gas turbines are considered a very promising alternative to the conventional Joule cycle and its variations. The reason is the considerably higher thermal efficiency of these ...
