← ScienceWhich outcome results when exceeding the flame speed limit in a pulse detonation engine?
A)Uncontrolled deflagration instability occurs✓
B)Increased isentropic compression efficiency
C)Sustained supersonic combustion stabilizes
D)Enhanced fuel-air mixing efficiency
💡 Explanation
Exceeding flame speed limits in a PDE can lead to an uncontrolled deflagration because of the onset of the deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT), leading to unstable combustion rather than sustained supersonic burning. Therefore, deflagration occurs rather than controlled propulsion because the DDT threshold is surpassed.
