The Final Report presents comprehensive recommendations for designing pulse combustion (PC) burners along with inlet/exhaust decoupler systems for any given application. The use of these guidelines is further explained with supporting data and examples. The report also presents major results from the work done in the following areas: development of a stand-alone PC water-heater system; guidelines for optimum design of vent terminals for PC appliances; design correlations for modulating the input rate of a fixed PC burner system; and heat-transfer rates from PC burners. Finally, the report also discusses: the major contributions to the progress of all the GRI-sponsored PC-related projects, both in the applications area and in the basic research area; and the efforts leading to rapid transfer of technology to the gas industry through publication of several quality papers in national and international gas conferences.
