The turbofan engine is a propulsive mechanism to combine the high thrust of a turbojet with the high efficiency of a propeller. Basically, a turbojet engine forms the core of the turbofan; the core contains the diffuser, compressor, burner, turbine, and nozzle. However, in the
turbofan engine, the turbine drives not only the compressor, but also a large fan external to the core. The fan itself is contained in a shroud that is wrapped around the core.
This seminar gives idea about spacecraft propulsion i.e., actually what are different latest modes of propulsion are used in space agency and also the introduction of combustion of propellants.

Since the invention of internal combustion engines, camshafts have been used to operate the valves on the cylinder head to bring in air and fuel and expel exhaust gases. The conventional valve train has its limitations: the single lobed cam is designed to operate the valves at only specific periods of the Otto cycle, thus preventing the engine from achieving maximum torque at higher rpms. The opening and closing of the valves is constrained by the geometry of the cam profile. The concept of camless engines allows for greater optimization of overall engine performance during different phases of running.
A gas turbine, also called a combustion turbine, is a type of internal combustion engine. It has an upstream rotating compressor coupled toa downstream turbine, and a combustion chamber in-between. Energy is added to the gas stream in the combustor, where fuel is mixed with air and ignited. In the high-pressure environment of the combustor, combustion of the fuel increases the temperature. The products of the combustion are forced into the turbine section

Effect Of Compression Ratio On The Performance Of Diesel Engine At Different ...IJERA Editor
Variable compression ratio (VCR) technology has long been recognized as a method for improving the
automobile engine performance, efficiency, fuel economy with reduced emission. The main feature of the VCR
engine is to operate at different compression ratio, by changing the combustion chamber volume, depending on
the vehicle performance needs .The need to improve the performance characteristics of the IC Engine has
necessitated the present research. Increasing the compression ratio to improve on the performance is an option.
The compression ratio is a factor that influences the performance characteristics of internal combustion engines.
This work is an experimental investigation of the influence of the compression ratio on the brake power, brake
thermal efficiency, brake mean effective pressure and specific fuel consumption of the Kirloskar variable
compression ratio duel fuel engine. Compression Ratios of 14, 15, 16 and 18 and engine loads of 3kg to 12 kg,
in increments of 3kg, were utilized for Diesel.

Design and Analysis of Air Intake System for Single Cylinder Engineijtsrd
Our understanding of Air flow behavior around an object makes us better designer in order to achieve better performances from our automobiles. In this paper we present an analysis of air flow via air-intake system required to meet FSAE norms in SUPRA Vehicles.The aim of this project is to create a flow restriction device to be fitted in the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) car being built by Team Zenith, GB Pant Engineering College, New Delhi. The car is an open wheeled race vehicle, designed to go from 0-60 mph in under 4 seconds and have a top speed of about 80-90 mph.An Air-intake system in a FSAE SUPRA Vehicle consists of various components as followed: -1) Air Filter2) Air Restrictor3) Plenum4) Intake Manifold.Air enters at the filter and passes through restrictor, which is used to increase velocity and drop pressure and then enters into plenum which is used to provide better distribution of air flow and to prevent further drop in pressure.Design of Air restrictor is critical as per norms of FSAE due to fixed minimum neck diameter of 20 mm as demonstrated below. Fig: - Basic structure of restrictor, plenum and runnerThis is done primarily to limit the power capability from the engine. Since the maximum mass flow rate is now a fixed parameter because of the restrictor, the aim is to allow the engine to achieve the maximum mass flow with minimal pull from the engine. In short, the pressure difference between atmosphere and the pressure created in the cylinder should be minimal, so that maximum airflow into the engine at all times.Our study revolves around finding such combination of angles of inclination and rise of the restrictor which should provide the vehicle maximum performance within limits directed by FSAE.We have simulated various design of Air restrictors based on different pair of angles for the Air-restrictor that could make a significant impact in the performance of the engine. The software we used for the same are ANSYS, SolidWorks.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Oblique Detonation Wave Engine (ODWE)
• Combustible gas mixture injection velocity equals or exceeds detonation
Chapman-Jouguet (CJ) velocity.
• Detonation waves (DWs) or oblique detonation waves (ODWs) are positioned to
combust injected combustible mixture.
Pulse Detonation Engine (PDE)
• Cyclically detonates fuel and atmospheric air mixtures to generate thrust.
• PDE differs from conventional propulsion systems in two primary ways:
generates thrust intermittently, and produces a high pressure rise in combustor.
• Detonation-generated pressure rise represents primary benefits of a PDE: it
may reduce engine compression requirements.
Continuous Detonation Engine (CDE)
• Combustible gas mixture is injected along axial direction, and DWs propagate in
azimuthal direction.
• Two directions are independent, DWs can continuously propagate with range of
combustible gas injection velocities and do not require multi-time ignition.

Constant Volume Combustion (CVC) Cycle
• Engines operating on constant–volume cycle (CVC) offer a
means of improving performance of jet propulsion.
• CVC possesses theoretical advantages over constant-pressure
cycle including higher ideal efficiency and output per pound of
air handled per unit time.
• Actual performance of a CVC jet engine depends upon extent to
which constant-volume combustion is approached and resulting
pressure developed in combustion chamber.
Can we augment gas turbine performance with PDEs
or any other form of constant volume combustion
(CVC) cycle to extend supersonic flight regime?

15. PDE better than Ramjet
• System-level performance analyses of PDE, based on specific impulse,
compared to that of a ramjet Mach 1.2 to 3.5.
• Using a constant-volume analytical model, event timing, geometric and
injection parameters providing optimal performance were determined. These
were then used as input to a one-dimensional model, based on method of
characteristics, and a two-dimensional model, based on CFD.
• Effect of partial fill and nozzle expansion ratio on Isp was also evaluated.
• For all models and over range of Mach numbers considered, PDE’s Isp was
consistently greater than that of a ramjet.
• Partial fill and nozzle expansion ratio were also identified as important factors
influencing performance.

• Study screened a large matrix of possible applications for advanced design
analysis è best suited to PDE:
– supersonic tactical aircraft,
– a supersonic strike missile, and
– hypersonic single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) vehicle.
• Supersonic tactical aircraft was focus of paper, envisioned as a Mach 3.5
high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft with possible strike capability.
• Relative to a turbo-ramjet powered vehicle, study identified an 11% to 21%
takeoff gross weight (TOGW) benefit on baseline 700 n.mi. radius mission.
• TOGW benefits predicted resulted from PDE lower cruise SFC and lower
vehicle supersonic drag. Lower vehicle drag resulted from better aft vehicle
shaping, which was a result of better distribution of the PDE cross-sectional
area.
• Reduction in TOGW and fuel usage produced an estimated 4% reduction in
life cycle cost for the PDE vehicle.

(CDWE): a CDE with a generally annular
combustion chamber dimensioned to allow
a fuel mixture to detonate continuously.
26. CDWE
• Main feature of CDWE is an annular combustion chamber closed on
one side (where fuel injection takes place) and opened at other end.
• Inside chamber, one or more detonation waves propagate normal to
direction of injection.
• CDWE is close to an infinite number of small PDEs globally running at
high frequency (several kHz) and dephased, so mean pressure inside
chamber is higher than for a typical PDE.

28. Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE)
• Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) is a form of CDE propulsion
concept that involves a continuous detonation process, i.e., not
pulsed, and for which only one detonation initiation is required.
• In a Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) a combustible gas mixture is
injected along the axial direction, but DWs propagate in azimuthal
direction.
• Because two directions are independent, detonation waves can
continuously propagate with a wide range of combustible gas
injection velocities and do not naturally require multi-time ignition.
• In recent years, RDEs extensively studied experimentally by
Bykovskii et al. (2006). Their experiments achieved both liquid and
gas fuel detonation in combustors with different shapes and with
supersonic or subsonic injection flow.
• Kindracki et al.(2009) experimentally achieved significant propulsive
performance from an RDE.

RDE uses a detonation wave rotating in a toroidal area in a coaxial cylinder
30. RDE Principle of Operation
• Principle of RDE based on creation of high centrifugal force,
resulting from a detonation propagating in a disk-like combustion
chamber (toroidal or ring-like shape).
• In a typical detonation, flow velocity immediately behind CJ point is
equal to about ½ of CJ propagation velocity, which is highly
supersonic. Thus, after detonation has propagated in toroidal
chamber, burnt products of detonation will be subjected to a strong
centrifugal force and be forced to approach outer wall of chamber,
creating a significant pressure/density gradient across radial
direction.
• Because if this pressure gradient (low pressure on inner wall), low
pressure over inner wall will stimulate self-sustaining (sucking)
supply of fresh mixture into combustion chamber.

31. RDE 3-D Simulations
• Numerical simulation based on a one-step chemical reaction model
to investigate changes in mode of H2-Air detonation wave
propagation from rotating detonation wave (RDW) mode to
standing detonation wave mode.
• Physical characteristics of RDW with injection velocity of 500 m/s
were analyzed to investigate physical mechanisms involved.
• With increasing injection velocity, detonation wave gradually
changes from perpendicular to head wall to parallel to head wall.
• When injection velocity exceeds Chapman–Jouguet velocity 𝑉CJ (~
1984 m/s), detonation wave changes orientation to become
perpendicular to fuel injection direction, and rotating mode changes
accordingly to standing mode.

First RDWE during beginning
of testing where ignition
sequencing is critical
First RDWE towards end of a test
where burning is deflagration
RDWE at UTA was able to produce a rotating
wave although only for a few rotations
New RDWE version uses hydrogen and air/oxygen to initiate the
detonation wave in annular chamber. Smaller and lighter, new
RDWE uses fuel/oxidizer premixing with new injection approach.
It is currently awaiting thrust stand testing.

33. Wave Rotor as Pressure Gain Combustor
• Wave rotor technology offers a method of sequencing non-steady
confined combustion in multiple chambers to generate pressure gain
with relatively steady inflow and outflow suitable for integration with
inlets, nozzles, or turbomachinery.

36. Summary
• Numerous engine concepts that rely on detonation
combustion have been studied and evaluated at
preliminary design level, for both space launcher and
missile applications.
• Some advances made to date è must prove that
advantages of PDE/PDRE and hybrid turbine/PDE
concepts are not superseded by difficulties to design real
engine and integrate it with an operational vehicle.
• Controlling detonation to generate thrust can be
challenging!
• Need to understand physics of detonation combustion,
and get a strong theoretical foundation to develop this
promising propulsion technology.
