摘要
Timescales associated with the spontaneous transition from a deflagration to a detonation combustion mode for hypergolic space-storable propellants (MMH, NTO) were experimentally assessed in an annular combustor. The presence of periodic detonation waves is detected using high-speed videography, engine audio frequencies, and oscillatory pressure measurements. Preliminary results suggest that detonation waves form on the order of tens to hundreds of milliseconds after ignition. Knowledge of these timescales aids in the design of in-space detonation-based propulsion systems with short burn durations.
