Project Pulse-Jet Group 4 Jeffrey Dennen Justin Marriott Brian Melo Matthew Skillin

What is Project Pulse–Jet? is an analytical study of how a pulse-jet engine works. Our Goals To design, build and test a pulse-jet engine. Plan of Action Research and design a prototype of a pulse-jet engine. Build the prototype based on our design. Test the prototype against the theoretical analysis.

History of the pulsejet The pulsejet engine was first invented in the early 1900 by a Swedish inventor Martin Wiberg Paul Schmidt, who engineered the first production pulsejet during the Second World War with his flying bomb, the Argus V1. Nicknamed the “buzz” bomb because of the low hum it admitted during flight. Used by the Germans to bomb London from 1944-1945 Over 9,000 V-1 were fired on England during WW2 The pulsejet took a backseat in the engineering world when the turbofan jet engine was invented Has returned to the engineering scene as of late because of the interest in Pulse Detonation Engines (PDE).

How does it work? A pulsejet engine is a very simple jet engine consisting of very little to no moving parts. The combustion cycle comprises five or six phases: Induction, Compression, (in some engines) Fuel Injection, Ignition, Combustion, and Exhaust. The rapidly expanding gasses exit out of the engine and as this happens a vacuum is created in the combustion chamber which pulls in a fresh new air charge fro m the atmosphere, and then the whole cycle repeats itself.

Combustion Cycle

Types of Pulse Jets There are two basic types of pulsejets. valve or traditional pulsejet valve-less pulsejet. The Argus V1 Schmidt was a valve pulsejet Most of the development work for the valve-less engines are done by two American engineers Lockwood and Hiller. Types of Valves Petal High Efficiency Petal Valve Grid

Design Research The Lenoir cycle is an idealized thermodynamic cycle often used to model a pulse-jet engine. Comprises of 3 cycles: Heat added at constant volume. Adiabatic Expansion. Exhaust of the hot gasses at a constant pressure. Thrust can be directly calibrated on the basis that the cycle is completed over two working strokes.

Design Research C.E. Tharratt Discovered a surprising result that the ratio of duct volume to effective length had a linear relationship to the maximum static thrust or: V/L = 0.00316F This relationship has been compared to all known pulse-jets from the large V-1 “flying bomb” of over 500 lb. thrust to the miniature Dyna-jets of 4-5 lbs. thrust. Thrust = 2.2 x Cross-Sectional area or F = 2.2A

Valve Design Sample Calculation. Valve area = (0.23 x mean cross-sectional area) / 0.6 assuming the valves are going to be 60% efficient. Valve Area = (0.23 x 7.72)/0.6 = 2.96 in

Building and Testing Materials Pulse-Jets Main body. Valve Body Rolled and seem welded using 0.063” Stainless Steel Sheet Metal. Stainless Selected because of its higher resistance to heat then mild steel. Valve Body CNC machined (Mill and Lathe) from 6061 Aluminum. Aluminum used for its light weight and its machinability. Reed Valve 0.006” Spring Steel. low alloy, medium carbon steel or high carbon steel with a very high yield strength. This allows objects made of spring steel to return to their original shape despite significant bending or twisting.

Testing Prototype will be tested to verify thrust output. Test Stand will be constructed to secure Pulse- Jet safely. Digital scale will be attached to frame to calculate thrust

Project’s Future Continue testing on prototype to gain further knowledge of its operating cycle. Construct larger Jet using the knowledge gained from this smaller prototype. Use larger engine to power to propel a manned vehicle.
