Abstract

A pulse detonation engine (PDE) requires high operating frequency greater than 100 Hz to get meaning thrust as a propulsion devise. Thus a PDE needs an ignition circuit operating precisely at high operating frequencies. In this paper AC(alternating current) and DC(direct current) types of ignition circuits were designed and compared. Each circuit was tested at operating frequencies from 16.66 to 100.00 Hz by measuring the input signal of each circuit and the voltage change in the primary coil of the transformer. Results show that the DC power circuit can attain a maximum error rate of 5.15% at higher operating frequencies, whereas the AC power circuit displays a negligible agreement with the operating signal at frequencies greater than 33.33 Hz. Therefore it is confirmed that DC-powered ignition circuit is preferable for the PDE operating at high frequencies.

펄스 데토네이션 엔진 (PDE는) 추진기관으로서 의미 있는 추력을 얻기 위해 100 Hz 이상의 높은 작동 주파수를 요구한다. 따라서 PDE는 높은 작동 주파수에서 정확하게 작동하는 점화 회로 필요로 한다. 이번 논문에서는 교류와 직류 전원을 이용하는 두 종류의 점화 회로를 설계하여 비교하였다. 두 회로는 16.66 에서 100.00 Hz 작동 주파수에서 입력 신호와 변압기의 1 차 코일에 인가되는 전압 변화를 측정하여 시험하였다. 실험 결과 직류 전원의 회로의 경우 증가된 작동 주파수에서 최대 5.15%의 작동 주파수 오차를 보였으나 교류 전원의 회로의 경우 33.33 Hz 이상부터는 거의 맞지 않는 결과를 보였다. 이를 통해 고주파 작동의 PDE에서는 직류 전원의 점화 회로가 선호됨을 확인하였다.
