Pdf computational approach in sizing of pulsejet engine. The aim of project is to design a pulse jet engine which. The operating conditions are taken to be the standard cruise conditions for low speed uavs. The argus company began work based on schmidts work. The original schmidt design had the pulsejet placed in a fuselage like a modern jet fighter, unlike the eventual v1, which had the engine placed above the warhead and fuselage. I am happy to be the new owner, and hope youll join us in the forum with your ideas and questions, and as always, happy pulse jetting. The adage a pulse jet is a machine for converting fuel to noise with a slight side effect of thrust has been attributed to a whole bunch of early jet engine and pulse jet designers. It is a continuous process with air flowing through the engine in a noninterrupted flow. This site was created by kenneth moller and is home to the most active pulse jet forum community on the planet. However, this online calculator will provide the dimensions and basic design for a simple pulsejet of almost any size and power. The pulse jet engine by contrast creates thrust through a series of explosions that are tuned by the length and diameter of the engine. Turbofan jet engines use a series of turbines to pull air in, pressurize mix with fuel and create thrust. The mpulse is especially effective on coal fired, biomass, and other steam production applications. The pulsejet is the only jet engine combustor that shows a net pressure gain between the intake and the exhaust.
