In previous modeling of Helmholtz-type pulse combustion water heater, muffler and the motion of the flapper valve were omitted. In present work, these have been included in modeling for providing more accurate information regarding the thermal and dynamic behavior of the water heater. In addition, a computer simulation based on the modeling was developed. The comparison of computer predictions with available experimental data shows that the simulation is satisfactory in predicting the nature of operating behavior, amplitudes of the pressure oscillations, and the magnitude of the frequency. But the predicted time-averaged axial temperature of the flue gas along the flue tube length is somewhat below the previous experimental results. The temperature pulsation of the combustion chamber and the velocity pulsation of the flue gas were predicted which have never been measured in previous studies. In particular, the latter is of importance for a valid determination of the heat transfer enhancement due to the gas flow pulsation. Heat transfer results in flue tube were presented and discussed. Also the effects on the installation of the muffler were investigated.
