Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention specifically relates to a design method and structure for a steam generator combustion chamber, applicable to steam generator combustion chambers using liquid oxygen, alcohol and cooling water as combustion media, and can also be used in combustion chambers using other liquids as combustion media. Background Technology

[0002] In high-altitude engine simulation tests, the engine is placed in a vacuum test chamber. To ensure the vacuum level of the test chamber during engine ignition, an active ejection method is often used. Currently, water vapor is often used as the power medium, combined with a jet pump ejection system to achieve the extraction of engine combustion gases. Water vapor is environmentally friendly and has sufficient extraction power, enabling high-altitude simulation tests of high-thrust engines.

[0003] Currently, most steam generator combustion chambers are cylindrical, with multiple rings of liquid collecting chambers welded to the outer wall of the combustion chamber, and multiple water inlets welded to the outer wall of each ring. Water injection holes are machined on the inner wall of each ring of liquid collecting chambers (i.e., the outer wall of the combustion chamber) to inject cooling water into the combustion chamber. However, this type of combustion chamber, except for the area containing the liquid collecting chambers, has a single-layer structure on the remaining walls, lacking cooling water to cool the outer wall of the combustion chamber. This poses a risk of ablation under high-flow-rate combustion conditions. Furthermore, if a higher cooling water flow rate is required, multiple layers of water injection holes need to be added, necessitating the welding of multiple rings of liquid collecting chambers. Welding multiple rings of liquid collecting chambers leads to severe deformation of the outer wall of the combustion chamber, and also increases the number of water inlets, increasing the manufacturing difficulty of the combustion chamber and the complexity of the cooling water supply system, resulting in a longer manufacturing cycle and reduced reliability. The increased number of water inlets also increases the risk of insufficient cooling water supply within the combustion chamber. A decrease or increase in the flow rate at any water inlet will affect the combustion of the working fluid in the combustion chamber, leading to decreased combustion stability. However, for high-altitude simulation tests of high-thrust engines, a larger flow rate of steam is required as the power medium. The design of the combustion chamber of the high-flow-rate steam generator mainly faces two problems: First, the combustion chamber wall must be adequately protected to avoid erosion, and the reliability of operation must be high; Second, a larger flow rate of cooling water is required, and it must be able to be supplied stably, fully participate in combustion and remain stable while meeting the cooling requirements of the combustion chamber wall.

[0004] In summary, the existing steam generator combustion chamber structure has poor combustion stability, low reliability, and a long development and processing cycle, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high-altitude simulation tests of high-thrust engines. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problems of poor combustion stability, low reliability, and long development and processing cycles of existing steam generator combustion chamber structures, which make it difficult to meet the requirements of high-altitude simulation tests of high-thrust engines.

The design methodology for a steam generator combustion chamber involves two main parts: critical dimension calculation and water flow distribution calculation. Critical dimension calculations include throat diameter calculation, combustion chamber characteristic length calculation, combustion chamber cross-sectional area calculation, combustion chamber length calculation, and combustion chamber wall thickness calculation. Water flow distribution calculation primarily ensures stable and reliable combustion of the working fluid within the combustion chamber by rationally allocating water volume. Through standardized and streamlined design processes, a rational steam generator combustion chamber can be designed, guaranteeing combustion stability and reliability, thereby shortening the research and development cycle.

[0087] q(λ) is the flow function, which is set to 1;

[0088] A t Let be the cross-sectional area of ​​the throat of combustion chamber 1.

[0089] From equation (2), the cross-sectional area A of the throat can be obtained. t Then, the throat section diameter d of combustion chamber 1 is obtained according to the formula for calculating the area of ​​a circle.

[0090] 1.2 Calculate the characteristic length L of the combustion chamber using the following formula. * :

[0092] In the formula: τ rg This refers to the residence time of water vapor, measured in seconds (s).

[0093] β is the comprehensive parameter of water vapor.

[0094] Among them, the comprehensive water vapor parameter β and the characteristic velocity c * The calculation formula is the same, that is:

[0113] To achieve the above two principles, the common practice is to install multiple layers of water injection holes on the inner wall of combustion chamber 1 to achieve mixing of cooling water and fuel gas. In the initial combustion development zone 2, cooling water is introduced through the first inlet 21 and the multiple layers of water injection holes. Under the action of water vapor pressure, the cooling water will be pressed against the inner wall of combustion chamber 1 to form a liquid film, which will cool the inner wall surface of combustion chamber 1. The water introduced through the second inlet 31, the multiple layers of water injection holes and the injection rod 35 will cover the inner wall of the main combustion development zone 3, and so on. In the main combustion development zone 3, cooling water enters combustion chamber 1 from all directions and mixes thoroughly with fuel gas.

[0121] Q is the latent heat of vaporization of cooling water, expressed in J / kg;

[0122] 2.2 Verify the axial distance L between two adjacent water injection holes. i ;

[0123] 2.2.1 The effective length L of the axial distance between two adjacent water injection holes is calculated using the following formula:

[0129] 3) Based on the water flow rate of each section of combustion chamber 1 obtained in step 2.1, calculate the mixed water flow rate, the number of water injection holes and the hole diameter of each layer of water injection holes, and complete the design of the steam generator combustion chamber;

[0130] 3.1. Based on the water flow rate Q of the i-th segment of combustion chamber 1 obtained in step 2.1 i Obtain the total flow rate Q of the cooling water. 总 The flow rate Q of the mixed water is calculated using the following formula. k :

[0131] Q k =Q 总 -n×Q i (10)

[0132] In the formula: n is the number of layers of water jet holes;

[0133] 3.2. Based on the water flow rate Q of the i-th segment of combustion chamber 1 obtained in step 2.1i The number and diameter of the water injection holes in each layer are calculated using the following formula:

[0134]

[0135] In the formula: N is the number of water jet holes; C d The flow coefficient of the cooling water is dimensionless and is taken as 0.72-0.80; A is the cross-sectional area of ​​the water injection hole, in mm. 2 ρ represents the density of cooling water, in kg / m³. 3 Take 1000 kg / m 3 ΔP is the pressure drop at the water injection hole, in MPa, taken as 0.6 MPa.

[0136] It should be noted that the entire calculation process for cooling water flow distribution is an iterative process, which continues until the diameter and number of water injection holes meet the usage requirements.

[0137] The design method for the combustion chamber structure of the steam generator of this invention can be used to design the combustion chamber 1 of a steam generator device using liquid oxygen, alcohol, or softened water as the combustion medium, and can also be used to design the combustion chamber 1 of a generator device using other liquids as the combustion medium. The combustion chamber 1 is an important place where the combustion medium completes the conversion from chemical energy to thermal energy. A well-designed combustion chamber 1 can not only improve the combustion efficiency of the combustion medium, but also ensure the stability and reliability of combustion.

[0138] Using the design method of this invention, the design of a 110kg-class combustion chamber body has been successfully completed. This body is a two-section, overall sandwich structure, consisting of 10 layers of water injection holes and one set of injection rods (35mm). The 110kg body has been fabricated according to the design drawings and has successfully completed thermal verification and commissioning. It will be used in subsequent high-altitude simulated ejection construction of high-thrust engines.

[0139] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention also provides a steam generator combustion chamber structure, which adopts the above-described design method for a steam generator combustion chamber.

[0140] Combustion chamber 1 is a cylindrical sandwich structure, consisting of two sections: an initial combustion development zone 2 and a main combustion development zone 3, connected sequentially from front to back. The sandwich layer serves as a cooling water collection chamber, where the cooling water cools the inner wall of combustion chamber 1. The outer wall of the sandwich layer in the initial combustion development zone 2 has a first water inlet 21, and the inner wall has multiple layers of water injection holes. The main combustion development zone 3 includes a mixing section and a throat 5 connected sequentially from front to back. The side wall of the mixing section has a second water inlet 31, and the inner wall has multiple layers of water injection holes and a set of injection rods 35, with multiple injection rods 35 in total. Both the first inlet 21 and the second inlet 31 are used to connect to the external cooling water supply system. The first inlet 21 introduces cooling water into the liquid collection chamber of the initial combustion development zone 2, and then into the inner cavity of the combustion chamber 1 through the water injection holes on the inner wall of the initial combustion development zone 2. The water entering mixes with the combustion gas and is pushed towards the inner wall of the combustion chamber 1 under the action of water vapor pressure, forming a cooling water film on the inner wall surface of the combustion chamber 1, which protects the inner wall surface of the combustion chamber 1. The second inlet 31 introduces cooling water into the liquid collection chamber of the main combustion development zone 3, so that the cooling water in the liquid collection chamber is fully mixed with the combustion gas in the main combustion development zone 3 through the water injection holes and water spray rods. The water sprayed from the water injection holes mixes with the combustion gas and also cools the inner wall surface of the combustion chamber 1, for the same principle. The water in the spray rod 35 is sprayed out from multiple directions, mainly to fully mix with the combustion gas in the combustion chamber 1.

[0141] A sandwich rib 4 is welded between the outer wall of the main combustion development zone 3 and the outer wall of the mixing section, and a sandwich rib 4 is welded between the outer wall of the main combustion development zone 3 and the outer wall of the throat 5, which ensures the spacing of the sandwich in the main combustion development zone 3 and strengthens the structural strength; a throat reinforcing ring 51 is provided on the inner wall of the throat 5.

[0142] like Figure 2 As shown, the multi-layered water injection holes on the inner wall of the initial combustion development zone 2 include a first layer of inclined holes 22, a second layer of inclined holes 23, and a third layer of inclined holes 24 arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the combustion chamber 1. Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the multi-layer water injection holes on the side wall of the mixing section include a fourth layer of oblique holes 32, a fifth layer of oblique holes 33, a sixth layer of oblique holes 34 arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the combustion chamber 1, and multiple injection rods 35. Water injection holes are provided on both the end face and the side face of the injection rods 35.

[0143] In this embodiment, the first layer of oblique holes 22 has an angle of 30° with the axis of the combustion chamber 1, which can better form a cooling water film under the action of water vapor pressure, and the outlet of the first layer of oblique holes 22 faces the rear end; the second layer of oblique holes 23, the third layer of oblique holes 24, the fourth layer of oblique holes 32 and the sixth layer of oblique holes 34 all have an angle of 45° with the axis of the combustion chamber 1, and the outlets of the second layer of oblique holes 23, the third layer of oblique holes 24, the fourth layer of oblique holes 32 and the sixth layer of oblique holes 34 all face the rear end; the fifth layer of oblique holes 33 is a radial hole; a total of 8 injection rods 35 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the combustion chamber 1.

[0144] The injection pressure drop of the first layer of oblique holes 22, the second layer of oblique holes 23, the third layer of oblique holes 24, the fourth layer of oblique holes 32, the fifth layer of oblique holes 33, the sixth layer of oblique holes 34, and the multiple injection rods 35 is all 0.6 MPa, and their diameters are less than or equal to 3 mm and greater than or equal to 0.6 mm. If the water injection hole diameter is too small (<0.6 mm), it will increase the processing difficulty and result in a low yield. If the water injection hole diameter is too large, the sprayed water will be uneven and the atomization effect will be poor, which will also affect the combustion effect. In this embodiment, the design of the 110 kg / s combustion chamber 1 project selects a water injection hole diameter of no more than or equal to 3 mm to meet the requirements. If the flow rate of combustion chamber 1 is further increased, the water injection hole diameter can also be set to greater than or equal to 3 mm.

[0145] The combustion chamber 1 of this invention adopts a two-section, integral sandwich structure. The two sections are connected by flanges and each has two water inlets. The inlets are equipped with standard flanges to facilitate connection with the cooling water supply system. The sandwich structure serves as a common liquid collection chamber for the multi-layer water injection holes, achieving a unified supply of cooling water flow, reducing water supply interfaces, and making it simple and reliable.

[0146] Based on the above calculation model, when the spacing L of the number of adjacent water jet hole layers is determined... i At that time, the cooling water flow rate Q for each floor can be calculated. i Then, based on the calculation formulas for pressure drop and flow rate, the number and diameter of the water injection holes in each layer can be determined.

[0147] In this embodiment, the entire combustion chamber 1 is divided into 6 layers of water injection holes. The first layer consists of 90 oblique water injection holes with an oblique angle of 30°. The second, third, fourth, and sixth layers are all oblique water injection holes with an oblique angle of 45°. Each layer has 90 holes. The fifth layer consists of radial holes with 90 holes. The seventh layer is located in the main mixing zone and is set as injection rods 35, with a total of 8 rods. Each injection rod has 60 water injection holes on its side and 5 water injection holes on its end face.
