Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the measurement of flow characteristic parameters of porous media, and particularly to a device and method for measuring flow characteristic parameters of porous media. Background Art

[0002] Porous media (such as metal aluminum foam materials, titanium alloy porous materials, stainless steel porous materials, nickel alloy porous materials, etc.) have a large number of tiny pores and are often used as throttling elements in the pneumatic field. A throttling element can cause a pressure drop in a pipeline, so it is extremely important to master the flow characteristics of porous media. The relationship between the pressure drop and the flow velocity of the gas flowing inside the porous medium is expressed by the Darcy-Forchheimer law at low flow velocities and by the Forchheimer law when the flow velocity becomes larger. The permeability coefficient and the inertia coefficient are important parameters of the two laws during the internal flow process and need to be obtained through a certain flow measurement method. Most of the existing measurement devices and methods are for measuring the permeability coefficient of porous media, such as CN212228680U, CN106932327A, etc., and do not involve the measurement of the inertia coefficient; moreover, the permeability coefficient measurement method is based on steady-state measurement, which takes a long time and consumes a large amount of gas.

Obviously, the described embodiments are not all the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0075] Embodiment 1

[0076] Figure 1 Shown is a schematic structural diagram of the porous medium flow characteristic parameter measurement device provided in Embodiment 1 of the present application. The measurement device includes a porous medium fixing device 1, a small container tank 3, a large container tank 12, a PC 6, and a 16-bit A / D acquisition board 8.

[0077] As Figure 2 AndFigure 3 As shown in the figure, the porous medium fixing device 1 includes a hollow rubber 1-2 and two end caps 1-1. The inner cavity of the hollow rubber 1-2 and the holes reserved on the two end caps 1-1 together form a sealed accommodating cavity that penetrates through both ends. The porous medium 1-3 is wrapped in the hollow rubber 1-2, and the two end caps 1-1 are connected by bolts to squeeze the hollow rubber 1-2 to achieve sealing.

[0078] The small container tank 3 and the large container tank 12 are two container tanks with known volumes. The volume of the large container tank 12 is 10 to 15 times that of the small container tank 3. One end of the sealed accommodating cavity is connected to the small container tank 3 through the first switching valve 2, and the other end is connected to the large container tank 12 through the fourth switching valve 13. A first pressure sensor 7 with a larger measuring range for pressure measurement is provided on the small container tank 3, and a second pressure sensor 9 with a smaller measuring range for pressure measurement is provided on the large container tank 12. The first pressure sensor 7 and the second pressure sensor 9 are respectively connected to the PC 6 through a 16-bit A / D acquisition board 8.

[0079] The small container tank 3 is connected to the first gas source 5 through the second switching valve 4, and the large container tank 12 is connected to the second gas source 11 through the third switching valve 10.

[0080] In the first embodiment, the measuring range of the first pressure sensor 7 is 0 to 300 kPa, and the measuring range of the second pressure sensor 9 is 0 to 100 kPa.

[0081] The following introduces the method for measuring the flow characteristic parameters of the porous medium using the measuring device described in the first embodiment. As Figure 11 shown, the method specifically includes the following steps:

[0082] (1) Calculate Figure 4 the pressure balance point in.

[0083] The pressure balance point can be derived according to the gas state equation. The initial ideal state equation of the gas in the small container tank 3 is:

[0084] P1V1 = m1RT1

[0085] where P1 represents the initial pressure of the small container tank 3, V1 represents the volume of the small container tank 3, m1 represents the initial gas mass of the small container tank 3, R represents the gas constant, and T1 represents the initial temperature of the small container tank 3.

[0086] The initial ideal state equation of the gas in the large container tank 12 is:

[0087] P2V2 = m2RT2

[0088] where P2 represents the initial pressure of the large container tank 12, V2 represents the volume of the large container tank 12, m2 represents the initial gas mass of the large container tank 12, and T2 represents the initial temperature of the large container tank 12.

[0089] The ideal gas state equation for the gas when the two containers are in equilibrium is:

[0090] P,(V1 + V2) = (m1 + m2)RT,

[0091] where P, represents the pressure when the two containers are in equilibrium, and T, represents the temperature when the two containers are in equilibrium.

[0092] Ignoring the temperature effect, the equilibrium pressure value can be obtained:

[0093]

[0094] (2) Open the second switching valve 4 and the third switching valve 10, and use the first gas source 5 and the second gas source 11 to supply gas to the small container 3 and the large container 12 respectively, so that the two containers reach the set pressure. It is required that the initial pressure of the small container 3 is much higher than that of the large container 12, and the pressures of the large and small containers are required not to exceed the measurement ranges of the corresponding pressure sensors.

[0095] When the two gas sources stop supplying gas, open the first switching valve 2 and the fourth switching valve 13 at both ends of the porous medium fixing device 1. The gas in the small container 3 flows into the large container 12. The first pressure sensor 7 and the second pressure sensor 9 respectively record the pressure changes of the small container 3 and the large container 12 on the PC 6 through the 16-bit A / D acquisition board 8. The pressure detected by the first pressure sensor 7 is P a , and the pressure detected by the second pressure sensor 12 is P b , and the pressure change curve is as Figure 8 shown.

[0096] According to the gas state equation and the pressure change curves of the two containers, under the assumption of ignoring the temperature effect, the mass flow rate of the gas flowing out of the small container 3 and the mass flow rate of the gas flowing into the large container 12 are solved respectively. The solution results are as Figure 9 shown.

[0097] The mass flow rate of the gas flowing out of the small container 3

[0098]

[0099] where G1 represents the mass flow rate of the gas flowing out of the small container 3, and T1 represents the internal temperature of the small container 3.

[0100] The mass flow rate of the gas flowing into the large container 12

[0101]

[0102] where G2 represents the mass flow rate of the gas flowing into the large container 12, and T2 represents the internal temperature of the large container 12.

[0103] (3) Within Figure 10 the indicated small pressure difference ΔPa (0 - 2 kPa) range, calculate the permeability coefficient K based on the mass flow rate of the gas passing through the porous medium.

[0104] Since the accuracy of the first pressure sensor 7 is low (large range, low accuracy) and G1 is inaccurate, G2 is used as the gas mass flow rate of the gas passing through the porous medium for calculating the permeability coefficient K.

[0105] When is satisfied, it can be considered that the pressure difference at both ends of the porous medium 1 - 3 is within the small pressure difference range of 0 - 2 kPa.

[0106] Calculate the pressure difference at each point within the small pressure difference range according to the pressure balance point. The calculation formula for the permeability coefficient K is:

[0107]

[0108] where K represents the permeability coefficient, μ represents the air viscosity, R represents the gas constant, L represents the length of the porous medium, represents the porosity of the porous medium, A represents the surface area of the porous medium, P N represents different pressure points within the pressure difference range of 0 - 2 kPa;

[0109] (4) In Figure 10 the indicated large pressure difference ΔPb (10 - 300 kPa) range, calculate the inertia coefficient β based on the mass flow rate of the gas passing through the porous medium.

[0110] Since the volume of the large container tank 12 is relatively large, during gas flow, the temperature change is small and the pressure change is small. The small pressure change makes the pressure curve measured by the second pressure sensor 9 relatively smooth, but the change range of this pressure curve is small, which will lead to inaccurate calculation of G2. While the volume of the small container tank 3 is small, and the temperature and pressure change greatly. The large pressure change makes the pressure curve measured by the first pressure sensor 7 rough, and due to the large temperature change, G1 is even more inaccurate compared to G2. Therefore, considering the influence of temperature and pressure changes comprehensively, within the large pressure difference range of 10 kPa < P a - P b < 300 kPa, first process the ratio of G1 and G2 corresponding to multiple identical pressure difference moments. The obtained ratio curve varying with the pressure difference is

[0111]

[0112] where ΔP is the pressure difference at both ends of the porous medium; a, b, z are the fitting coefficients of the ratio curve;

[0113] Then smooth f(ΔP) to obtain the curve f’(ΔP) as the ratio curve of G1(ΔP) / G2(ΔP).

[0114] Finally, use G2(ΔP)·f’(ΔP) as the mass flow rate for calculating the inertia coefficient β in the large pressure difference range, and denote this mass flow rate as G3.

[0115] The inertia coefficient β is calculated according to the following formula:

[0116]

[0117] Embodiment 2

[0118] Figure 5 The figure shows a schematic structural diagram of a porous medium flow characteristic parameter measurement device provided by Embodiment 2 of the present application. On the basis of Embodiment 1, a first vacuum generator 15 and a first pressure reducing valve 16 are added between the third switching valve 10 and the second gas source 11, and a first muffler 14 is connected to the first vacuum generator 15. The first vacuum generator 15 is used to generate negative pressure in the large container tank 12.

[0119] In this Embodiment 2, the range of the first pressure sensor 7 is 0 - 300 kPa, and the range of the second pressure sensor 9 is -100 - 0 kPa.

[0120] Figure 6 The figure shows the pressure change curves of the two container tanks in Embodiment 2.

[0121] When measuring, in step (2) of Embodiment 1, after generating positive pressure inside the small container tank 3 and negative pressure inside the large container tank 12, then perform the operations of the subsequent steps in Embodiment 1, and the subsequent steps are the same as those in Embodiment 1.

[0122] Embodiment 3

[0123] Figure 7 The figure shows a schematic structural diagram of a porous medium flow characteristic parameter measurement device provided by Embodiment 3 of the present application. On the basis of Embodiment 2, a second pressure reducing valve 17 and a second vacuum generator 18 are added between the second switching valve 4 and the first gas source 5, and a second muffler 19 is connected to the second vacuum generator 18. The second vacuum generator 18 is used to generate negative pressure in the small container tank 3.

[0124] In this Embodiment 3, the first pressure sensor 7 is a pressure sensor with a range of -100 - 0 kPa, and the second pressure sensor 9 has a range of -100 - -50 kPa.

[0125] Figure 8 The figure shows the pressure change curves of the two container tanks in Embodiment 3.

[0126] When making measurements, in step (2) of the first embodiment, after the vacuum generators at both ends of the two container tanks generate negative pressure, the subsequent steps in the first embodiment are then carried out. In addition, the range of the large pressure difference region determined in the third embodiment is different from that of the embodiment. In the third embodiment, when calculating the inertia coefficient β, the large pressure difference range is determined as 10 kPa < P a -P b < 100 kPa. The other steps in the third embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment.
