Abstract

Transition to greener fuels such as hydrogen is a process that requires developing several technologies. One of those is being able to develop materials that can withstand the higher temperatures of hydrogen combustion. One of the most promising materials are the ceramic matrix composites which could potentially replace the superalloys with thermal barrier coatings which are used in gas turbine engines. This project aims to characterize a ceramic matrix composite manufactured by Polymer Infiltration and Pyrolysis process. The characterization of the material would be done under deflagration and detonation operating conditions. This study would pave the way for the development of new materials that are required for current operating engines such as gas turbine engines and rocket engines and will help in the development of future detonation engines such as rotating detonation engines and oblique detonation engines.
