Abstract
Various gasdynamic regimes of combustion of a lean fuel mixture of propane with air, including combustion of the mixture at rest, combustion with annular twisting of the gas, and combustion stimulated by jets of a burning gas injected into the combustion chamber (PJC) were analyzed from the viewpoint of the magnitude of heat losses. The advantage of PJC over other combustion regimes is shown. We suggest a simple method to evaluate the pressure increase by calculating the magnitude of the energy release with allowance for heat losses to the combustion-chamber walls.
