Uncontrolled NOx emissions from a variety of pulse combustors were measured. The implementation of flue-gas recirculation to reduce NOx was studied. A flexible workstation for parametric testing was built and used to study the phasing between pressure and heat release, and effects of fuel/air mixing on performance. Exhaust-pipe heat transfer was analyzed. An acoustic model of pulse combustion was developed. Technical support was provided to manufacturers on noise, ignition and condensation. A computerized bibliographic database on pulse combustion was created.
