Pressure gain combustion

Pressure gain combustion is a combustion process whereby gas expansion by heat release is constrained, causing a rise in stagnation pressure and allowing work extraction by expansion to the initial pressure.[1]

The idea dates as far back as Hans Holzwarth's 1914 explosion turbine.[1]

Potential applications of pressure gain combustion include higher performance rocket motors and gas turbines.[1]
