Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hypersonic scramjet thermal protection, in particular to a hypersonic scramjet wall liquid metal and fuel internal and external composite double-layer cooling channel structure and hypersonic scramjet. BACKGROUND
[0002] The full name of the hypersonic scramjet is supersonic combustion ramjet, which refers to a ramjet that burns fuel in a supersonic airflow. It can obtain oxygen from the atmosphere during flight. Fuel is sprayed from the wall or strut, mixed with high-speed airflow in the supersonic combustion chamber, and finally burned. The burned gas is ejected through the expansion nozzle to generate thrust.
[0003] Because of the supersonic combustion in its combustion chamber, the thermal environment is extremely harsh, and thermal protection means must be used to ensure that the engine wall works normally and is not burned out. The thermal protection technology of hypersonic scramjet can be roughly divided into three types according to the principle: passive, semi-passive and active.
[0004] Among them, the active type refers to using low-temperature or normal-temperature cooling medium for protection, and all or most of the heat is taken away by the working medium. When using fuel as a wall cooling medium for a hydrocarbon fuel hypersonic scramjet, there is a problem of fuel coking and blocking the wall cooling channel under high temperature conditions. Cooling channel blockage will lead to thermal protection failure, and in such a harsh thermal environment, it will cause the wall to burn out. In addition, under the "robust hypersonic scramjet" plan, the amount of fuel required for cooling exceeds the amount of fuel required for combustion, which means that the aircraft needs to carry additional fuel, which will reduce the effective payload of the aircraft. SUMMARY
[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present application is to overcome the problem of fuel coking and blocking the wall cooling channel under high temperature conditions when using fuel as a wall cooling medium for a hypersonic scramjet in the prior art, thereby providing a hypersonic scramjet wall liquid metal and fuel internal and external composite double-layer cooling channel structure and hypersonic scramjet.
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a hypersonic scramjet engine wall liquid metal and fuel internal and external composite double-layer cooling channel structure, comprising: a body; a first cooling structure and a second cooling structure, the first cooling structure and the second cooling structure are arranged in the body, and the first cooling structure and the second cooling structure are arranged in a stacked manner, the first cooling structure is provided with a first cooling medium, and the second cooling structure is provided with a second cooling medium; a first pump body arranged at one end of the first cooling structure, the first pump body is used for driving the first cooling medium to flow in the first cooling structure; a second pump body arranged at one end of the second cooling structure, the second pump body is used for driving the second cooling medium to flow in the second cooling structure; and a heat insulation layer arranged on one side of the body.

[0011] Further, the cross section of the cooling channel is circular.
[0012] Further, the first cooling medium is liquid metal, and the second cooling medium is aviation kerosene.
[0013] Further, the liquid metal is made of gallium-indium alloy or sodium-potassium alloy.

[0033] The preferred embodiments of the disclosure are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which should be understood as merely illustrative and explanatory, and not restrictive of the disclosure.
[0034] Referring to Figures 1 to 2 As shown in the drawings, the present application provides a hypersonic scramjet engine wall liquid metal and fuel internal and external composite double-layer cooling channel structure, comprising: a body 1; a first cooling structure 2 and a second cooling structure 3, the first cooling structure 2 and the second cooling structure 3 are arranged in the body 1, and the first cooling structure 2 and the second cooling structure 3 are arranged in a stacked manner, the first cooling structure 2 is provided with a first cooling medium 6, and the second cooling structure 3 is provided with a second cooling medium 7; a first pump body 8 arranged at one end of the first cooling structure 2, the first pump body 8 is used to drive the first cooling medium 6 to flow in the first cooling structure 2; a second pump body 9 arranged at one end of the second cooling structure 3, the second pump body 9 is used to drive the second cooling medium 7 to flow in the second cooling structure 3; a heat insulation layer 4 arranged on one side of the body 1.
[0035] By arranging the first cooling structure 2 and the second cooling structure 3 in the body 1, and arranging the first cooling structure 2 and the second cooling structure 3 in a stacked manner, the first cooling medium 6 of the first cooling structure 2 transmits heat to the second cooling medium 7 of the second cooling structure 3 after absorbing heat from the combustion chamber wall, and the second cooling medium 7 absorbs the heat transmitted by the second cooling medium 7, completing the preheating process of the fuel. The strong heat exchange capacity of the first cooling medium 6 can realize effective heat protection of the engine wall, and in addition, the heat transfer of the first cooling medium 6 in the first cooling structure 2 to the second cooling medium 7 in the second cooling structure 3 is similar to the heat exchange of a heat exchanger, which can heat the fuel to a higher temperature, thereby improving the fuel heat sink and reducing the amount of cooling medium used.
[0036] The wall liquid metal of the scramjet engine and the fuel inner and outer composite double cooling channel structure utilizes the strong heat exchange capacity of the first cooling medium 6 to quickly and efficiently transfer the heat transferred by the gas and transfer it to the second cooling medium 7. By changing the flow of the first cooling medium 6 through the first pump body 8, the temperature distribution of the combustion chamber wall can be actively controlled, and the heat dissipation intensity of the gas to the wall can be adjusted. At the same time, increasing the cross-sectional size of the channel reduces the possibility of coking and carbon deposition blocking the channel, realizes heating the fuel to a higher temperature, improves the heat sink of the fuel, reduces the use amount of the cooling medium, and solves the problem of engine wall burning caused by high-temperature coking and blocking of the cooling channel 5 using only fuel as the regenerative cooling working medium.
[0037] wherein, Figure 2 In the first cooling structure 2, the bottom is the gas side, and the generated combustion heat in the combustion chamber is transferred through the first cooling structure 2 and the second cooling structure 3.
[0038] The heat insulation layer 4 has the characteristics of high temperature resistance and low thermal conductivity. The arrangement of the heat insulation layer 4 effectively reduces the influence of heat transfer on other components.
[0039] In this embodiment, the first cooling medium 6 is a liquid metal, and the second cooling medium 7 is aviation kerosene. The heat exchange process of the liquid metal is a physical process, so there is no chemical reaction to block the wall first cooling structure 2 and the second cooling structure 3.
[0040] In some optional embodiments, the first cooling structure 2 and the second cooling structure 3 include a plurality of cooling channels 5, and the plurality of cooling channels 5 are arranged at intervals. Among them, the cooling channel 5 is a microchannel, that is, the size of the cooling channel 5 is small, which is a nanoscale channel.
[0041] In order to facilitate the processing of the plurality of cooling channels 5 in the body 1, therefore, the cross section of the cooling channel 5 is made into a rectangle.
[0042] Of course, the cross section of the cooling channel 5 can also be made into a circle or a square, a triangle. Specifically, it can be set according to actual needs.
[0043] In some optional embodiments, the cooling channel 5 of the first cooling structure 2 and the cooling channel 5 of the second cooling structure 3 are arranged one by one. This arrangement facilitates the direct heat exchange between the first cooling medium 6 in the cooling channel 5 of the first cooling structure 2 and the second cooling medium 7 in the cooling channel 5 of the second cooling structure 3, avoiding energy loss.
[0044] Of course, the cooling channel 5 of the first cooling structure 2 can also be staggered with the cooling channel 5 of the second cooling structure 3. This arrangement can better increase the support strength of the body 1 and avoid deformation of the body 1.
[0045] In the embodiment, the liquid metal is made of gallium-indium alloy or sodium-potassium alloy.
[0046] The body 1 is made of high-temperature alloy. Specifically, it can be stainless steel 316L.
[0047] The first pump body 8 is an electromagnetic pump, and the second pump body 9 is a fuel pump.
[0048] The liquid metal and fuel inner-outer composite double-layer cooling channel structure of the scramjet engine wall surface quickly and efficiently transfers the heat transferred by the combustion gas to the second cooling medium 7 by using the strong heat exchange capacity of the first cooling medium 6, and the temperature distribution of the combustion chamber wall surface can be actively controlled by changing the flow of the first cooling medium 6 through the first pump body 8, and the heat dissipation intensity of the combustion gas to the wall surface can be adjusted. At the same time, increasing the cross-sectional size of the channel can reduce the possibility of coking and carbon deposition blocking the channel, realize heating the fuel to a higher temperature, improve the heat sink of the fuel, reduce the use amount of the cooling medium, solve the problem of engine wall surface burning caused by high-temperature coking and blocking of the cooling channel 5 using only fuel as the regenerative cooling working medium.
[0049] The application further provides a scramjet engine comprising the liquid metal and fuel inner-outer composite double-layer cooling channel structure of the scramjet engine wall surface.
[0050] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clearly illustrating, but not limitation to the embodiments.
