Identifying the Influence of Two-Phase Fuels on Detonation Behavior Through Small Channels (Oregon State University)
Abstract
The overall goal of the proposed effort is to accelerate the development of rotating detonation engines (RDEs) for propulsion applications by providing scientific insights into the detonation characteristics of two-phase fuels. To achieve the overall goal, I propose a 3-year effort to identify the detonation behavior for single- and two-phase large hydrocarbon fuels (i.e., liquid). The influence of droplet sizes and the fuel quality (i.e., fraction of fuel in vapor phase) on detonation characteristics will be quantified. Detonation cell sizes will be measured and correlated to thedetonation behavior.
