Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an experimental device for simulating the flow and dissolution and precipitation process of a gas-liquid mixture, and belongs to the field of simulation experimental devices. Background Art

[0002] Implementing on-orbit propellant replenishment can maximize satellite lifespan, improve satellite on-orbit maneuverability, and fully realize the satellite's value. In the on-orbit refueling system, propellant and pressurized gas coexist in the tank, and the propellant is saturated with dissolved gas. When the on-orbit refueling system is operating, due to the slender pipelines and small valve diameters, the downstream pressure decreases, causing helium solubility to decrease, resulting in helium precipitation and bubbles. When the local pressure increases, the gas solubility increases, and some of the bubbles dissolve back into the propellant. The mechanism by which gas precipitation and dissolution affect the operational stability of the on-orbit refueling system is unclear, making it difficult to accurately calculate the propellant replenishment amount. This leads to large errors in satellite life prediction and has become a bottleneck restricting the advancement of spacecraft technology. This experimental device can study dynamic gas-liquid mass transfer, including both gas dissolution in liquid and gas precipitation from liquid. A gas-liquid mixture experiences a dramatic pressure drop when passing through a small-diameter orifice plate between pipes. The resulting gas release exacerbates flow instability. As pressure recovers, the released gas redissolves in the liquid, resulting in a dynamic equilibrium between the gas and liquid. In this discussion of the dissolution phenomenon, by pre-treating the aqueous solution to an unsaturated state, the gas continuously dissolves in the liquid with continuous gas injection, increasing the dissolved gas concentration. This allows for analysis of the dynamic gas-liquid behavior and dissolution-desorption phenomena under varying gas-liquid conditions. By analyzing the dynamic gas-liquid behavior and the impact of flow dissolution-desorption, a universal dynamic gas-liquid dissolution-desorption equation is developed. This is crucial for controlling the gas-liquid behavior of the on-orbit refueling system, enabling accurate prediction of on-orbit propellant and boost gas injection rates for satellites and improving the accuracy of satellite lifespan predictions. Therefore, experimental measurements should be conducted at various flow rates, gas injection rates, and initial liquid concentrations to allow for sufficient comparison of experimental data and identify optimal control conditions. The existing experimental platforms for induced gas precipitation and dissolution are independent of each other, have simple structures, and are based on static tests, resulting in a lack of experimental observation and theoretical basis for unstable gas-liquid dynamic dissolution and flow.

[0034] Example

[0035] Once the required flow conditions and pressure within the surge tank are determined, the rate of flow and mass transfer can be controlled by the initial dissolved oxygen concentration and the gas injection rate. While maintaining flow, the direction of flow and mass transfer can also be controlled by adjusting the pressure within the experimental platform, enabling data collection and exploration under these experimental conditions. To start the experimental setup for the gas-liquid mixture flow and dissolution / desorption process, adjust the frequency-controlled motor 6A and frequency-controlled motor B26 to control the rotation of the connected stainless steel pumps A5 and B25, respectively, to gradually stabilize the experimental platform. Simultaneously, observe the pressure gauge 36 to prevent high pressure or pressure pulsation within the experimental system, which could pose a risk. During this process, carefully monitor acrylic transparent tubes A10, B16, C17, or D42 for leaks. Once the experimental platform is operating relatively smoothly, gradually adjust the pressure within the experimental system using air bottle 28. Observe the bubble behavior caused by gas precipitation within the transparent dissolution / desorption experimental pipelines. If the gas separation is not ideal, the frequency modulation motor 6A and the frequency modulation motor B26 can be further adjusted to control the flow rate to adjust the gas separation phenomenon. If the gas separation phenomenon is ideal, the flow field information near the orifice plate 15 can be collected by a stroboscopic camera.

[0036] The principle of gas evolution in the on-orbit refueling system simulation is as follows: The flow area in orifice plate 15 is affected by the sudden contraction of the flow channel, causing the flow velocity to increase rapidly while the pressure of the gas-liquid mixture to decrease rapidly. Under the influence of this localized rapid pressure drop, when the pressure falls below the local gas separation pressure, gas evolution occurs downstream of orifice plate 15. Furthermore, as the oxygen saturation of the solution increases during pressure recovery, some of the evolved gas redissolves in the liquid, resulting in a bidirectional gas-liquid mass transfer process involving both evolution and dissolution.

[0037] To simulate the principle of gas dissolution in the on-orbit refueling system, an aqueous solution of appropriate oxygen concentration is prepared in pressure-stabilizing water tank 1. The dissolved oxygen concentration at the inlet of acrylic transparent tube A10 is measured using glass graduated cylinder 6. The throttled acrylic transparent tube D42 enhances the dissolution rate, making it easier to observe the dynamic changes in dissolution. Dissolved oxygen sensor B19 measures the incremental dissolved oxygen concentration after passing through acrylic transparent tubes A10, B16, and C17, simulating the injection of high-pressure gas into the on-orbit refueling system and the continuous dissolution of gas into the solution.
