This invention proposes a multi-tube spiral fan-shaped pulse
detonation combustion chamber for a pulse
detonation turbine engine, comprising a diffuser, a multi-tube spiral fan-shaped
detonation tube, a
fuel supply pipe, an outer casing for the
combustion chamber, an inner casing for the
combustion chamber, and an outlet pressure stabilizing chamber. The
airflow, after passing through the diffuser, is divided into two parts. One part flows from the intake cone at the head of the spiral fan-shaped detonation tube into the
fuel supply mixing section, where it mixes with fuel injected from the
nozzle of the
fuel supply mixing section. The combustible mixture enters the ignition and detonation section and is ignited by a hot jet igniter, forming a detonation wave after undergoing a
deflagration-to-detonation process. The other part flows through the outer wall of the detonation tube, cooling the tube. The two airflows are mixed and pressure-stabilized in the outlet pressure stabilizing chamber before being discharged into the
turbine. By employing a spiral fan-shaped detonation tube, on the one hand, the pulse detonation
combustion chamber can be perfectly matched with the annular
airflow channel at the compressor outlet of the gas
turbine engine, improving the cross-sectional utilization of the flow channel and thus increasing the thrust of the pulse detonation turbine engine; on the other hand, the
axial length of the pulse detonation
combustion chamber can be shortened, thereby shortening the overall length of the pulse detonation turbine engine, reducing the total engine weight, improving the engine thrust-to-weight ratio, and improving the engine rotor dynamics characteristics due to the shortened
axial distance of the entire rotor
system.
