Description:
The design of the free piston jet engine is traced through the stages of development. The dual mode modification is introduced, examined and applied. The final design iteration is analyzed from the basis of work equilibrium, and cycle performance is combined with engine geometric and thermodynamic detail to give the performance calculations. All calculations are nondimensionalized, and a trend analysis performed on the inlet conditions. A prototype flight engine, using Volkswagen cylinders, is designed and analyzed.
