Which consequence results when exceeding the design limits of a pulse detonation engine?

💡 Explanation

Transition to deflagration mode results when exceeding design pressure because autoignition cannot be maintained; the mechanism is fuel-air mixing during rapid compression increases temperature, therefore only deflagration can occur, rather than controlled detonation.
