In this study, a pulse jet engine that operates without a shutter valve was developed using a reflector. The pulse jet engine has the disadvantage of being noisy and low in efficiency compared to other engines, but has the advantage of a simple structure and no significant limitations on the fuel used, so research is being conducted to apply this engine to industrial fields such as biomass fuel conversion and boiler systems. Various research is being conducted as it becomes the basis of a pulse detonation engine. In this study, a pulse jet engine is designed, manufactured and tested successfully. The developed pulse jet engine can be used as a power source for various transportation methods such as vehicles and hovercraft through improvement.
As the capacity of renewable power generation facilities rapidly increases, the variability of electric power system and gas turbine power generation is also increasing. Therefore, problems may occur that require urgent repair while the gas turbine rotor is stopped. When the gas turbine rotor turning is stopped and then restarted, if the turning period is not appropriate, severe vibration may occur due to rotor bending. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that normal operation is possible when the gap data measured at the start of rotor turning after maintenance work is similar to the existing value. And the vibration value at the start of rotor turning was lower as the rotor temperature was lower or the stop period was shorter.
