Determining the Pressure Gain of Pressure Gain Combustion [PDF]
Over the past few decades, there has been significant research into propulsion concepts attempting to employ pressure gain combustion. Pressure gain combustion concepts to date have resulted in dynamic, non-uniform gas flows which are difficult to characterize and compare with more conventional forms of propulsion.

The Influence of Unsteadiness on the Analysis of Pressure Gain Combustion Devices [PDF]
Pressure gain combustion has been the subject of scientific study for over a century due to its promise of improved thermodynamic efficiency. In many recent application concepts, pressure gain combustion is used as a component in an otherwise continuous, normally steady flow system, such as a gas turbine or ramjet engine.

Performance Modelling of a Pressure Gain Combustion Aircraft Engine
As the gas turbine designs used today are reaching the limits of their performance, despite various optimization techniques adopted in recent years, the need arises for new types of propulsion devices. Pressure Gain Combustion (PGC) technology is an actively pursued area of innovation for gas turbine cycles that can be implemented in aerospace ...

Direct-Connect Test of Solid Scramjet with Symmetrical Structure
The solid scramjet has become one of the most promising engine types. In this paper, we report the first direct-connect test of a solid scramjet with symmetrical structure, carried out using boron-based fuel-rich solid propellant as fuel. During the test,

Wernher Von Braun’s Pioneering Work in Modelling and Testing Liquid-Propellant Rockets [PDF]
This paper presents a view on how Dr. Wernher Von Braun laid the basis for realistic modelling and testing liquid-propellants rockets, by his PhD Thesis – a secret document in 1934, which remained classified until 1960.

Effect of Al–Li Alloy on the Combustion Performance of AP/RDX/Al/HTPB Propellant
Aluminium–lithium alloy (Al–Li alloy) powder has excellent ignition and combustion performance. The combustion product of Al–Li alloy powder combined with ammonium perchlorate is gaseous at the working temperature of solid rocket motors, which greatly ...

Effects of Al/O on pressure properties of confined explosion from aluminized explosives
Pressure histories were tested in a 500-L chamber to identify the pressure load in confined explosion from aluminized explosives. Different aluminized explosives with Al/O, ranging from 0.25 to 1.23, were used.
