Resonant Pulse Combustors: A Reliable Route to Practical Pressure Gain CombustionPressure Gain Combustion (PGC) defined: A fundamentally unsteady process whereby gas expansion by heat release is constrained, causing a rise in stagnation pressure and allowing work extraction by expansion to the initial pressure. A particular type of pressure gain combustion (PGC) device is described, which is under investigation at GRC (Glenn Research Center). The Resonant Pulse Combustor (RPC) has been largely overlooked due to its theoretically low performance. However, its practical performance is quite competitive with other PGC systems, and its physical simplicity is unmatched.
