← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when combustion instability escalates inside a pulse detonation engine's cycle?
A)Uncontrolled pressure rise and deflagration✓
B)Regenerative cooling loop improvement
C)Enhanced thermoacoustic resonance damping
D)Increased cycle-averaged thrust efficiency
💡 Explanation
Uncontrolled pressure rise and deflagration is the result because detonation transitions occur due to the Zeldovich-von Neumann-Döring (ZND) model, therefore leading to destructive overpressure, rather than enhanced cooling, damping, because other cycles manage steady thrust.
