EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF PULSE COMBU STORS

In the paper, the mechanism of pulse combustion, pulse combustors desi gn and the range of applications of this technique in chemical enginee ring were presented. The results of the authors' own research containi ng optimization of pulse combustor with membrane valves were also give n. During experiments, there were measured the amplitudes and frequenc ies of pressure oscillations inside the combustion chamber and at the outlet of the tailpipe, the emission of NOx, CO, CO2 and the noise lev el for various geometries of the combustion chamber and lengths of the tailpipe for different air/fuel ratios.
