Chart package as background and back-up information for Jeff's use as an expert on a panel discussion for equivalent available pressure (EAP).
This presentation is intended as a lead to a workshop on the subject of Equivalent Available Pressure (EAP). EAP is a concept that has been introduced to the Pressure Gain Combustion (PGC) community in recent years. It is a technique for determining an equivalent steady state figure of merit from the fundamentally unsteady PGC process. The workshop is centered on reviewing the efforts by various organizations to implement the EAP technique specifically on rotating detonation engines (RDE's). RDE's are a type of PGC device. This presentation is a very brief (15 minute) review of the EAP technique for both computational simulations and laboratory experiments. The mathematical equations required to compute EAP are shown and an example RDE simulation is presented showing results.
