Abstract

A rotating detonation turbine engine has simpler structure and higher thermal efficiency than a conventional gas turbine engine. In this study, we designed a rotating detonation turbine engine with single stage centrifugal compressor, combustion chamber, and single stage radial flow turbine which are placed on one side of rotor disk. We performed cold flow experiments and combustion experiments. As results of cold flow test, compressor can supply air 52 g/s. In combustion experiments, we supply pressured oxidizer and fuel from outside of engine. As a results, combustion propagation speed was 600 - 1300 m/s. this is about 25 – 45 % of Chapman – Jouget detonation velocity. In addition, rotational speed rises by 160 rpm during combustion.
