TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to an experimental system for analyzing aluminum powder combustion at different number concentrations, and relates to an experimental system using a jet impact type aerosol generator and a multi-element diffusion flat flame burner, and belongs to the field of aluminum powder combustion experiments. BACKGROUND
[0002] Solid rocket engines have many advantages such as simple structure, large thrust density, high technical maturity, convenient storage and maintenance, and are one of the most widely used rocket propulsion systems at present. In order to improve the specific impulse of the solid rocket engine, metal powder is usually added to the solid propellant to improve the energy level, and the addition of 10-20% of aluminum powder by mass fraction can produce more than 30% of heat, and the aluminum powder combustion process and its products have a relatively complex influence on the solid engine.
[0003] On the other hand, a new type of powder rocket engine directly using aluminum powder particles as fuel has the advantages of relatively simple structure, adjustable thrust, multiple start-ups, and wide environmental temperature applicability, and can be used in the fields of supersonic missiles, space propulsion and underwater propulsion.
[0004] The experimental system for studying the ignition and combustion of aluminum particles mainly includes a single particle laser ignition system and a monodisperse aerosol flat flame combustion system. The aluminum particle combustion characteristic parameters include important information such as ignition temperature, ignition delay time, combustion time, particle surface temperature, geometric structure of gas phase flame and condensed phase products. However, in general experimental devices, the environmental temperature of aluminum powder combustion is not controllable, and the temperature field distribution is not uniform, which affects the accuracy of the experimental results. SUMMARY
[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide an experimental system for analyzing aluminum powder combustion at different number concentrations. The multi-element diffusion flat flame burner simulates the high-temperature gas phase environment and component atmosphere in the real combustion device by gas distribution, carries out particle ignition and combustion characteristic test by central gas aerosol supply, and has good optical visualization conditions. The aerosol generator is used to generate relatively uniform monodisperse aluminum powder aerosol without using a vibration device. The optical diagnosis system obtains temperature information of combustion by multiple means, compares and increases the accuracy of experimental data.
[0006] The purpose of the present application is achieved by the following technical solutions.
[0007] The application discloses an experimental system for analyzing aluminum powder combustion at different number concentrations, which comprises a multi-element diffusion flat flame burner, an aerosol generator and an optical diagnosis system.
[0008] The multi-element diffusion flat flame burner body structure is divided into a lower part of the burner and an upper part of the burner. The lower part of the burner is supplied with fuel gas through the gas inlets around the periphery, and the upper part of the burner is supplied with oxidizing gas through the gas inlets around the periphery. The upper part of the burner is provided with a large number of capillary tubes for forming a diffusion flame array. The fuel gas and the oxidizing gas reach the vicinity of each capillary tube outlet through the capillary tubes and are ignited to form tiny methane diffusion flames. Hundreds of small flames form an approximately planar diffusion flame array, and a high-temperature zone with uniform temperature and controllable gas phase components is formed in the flame after zone. The number and position of the large number of capillary tubes are determined according to the requirements and constraints of the diffusion flame array.
[0009] The aerosol generator comprises an aerosol generating device, a flat capacitor, an air flow cover, a metal bolt, and a high-voltage direct current power supply. The aerosol generating device is mainly used to disperse aluminum particles in a gas environment and spray them out with a predetermined gas. The upper plate of the flat capacitor is used as the upper end cover of the air flow cover, and the lower plate is fixed inside the air flow cover through the metal bolt penetrating the bottom surface of the air flow cover, so that the internal space of the flat capacitor is enclosed in the air flow cover. The bottom of the air flow cover is provided with an air inlet hole for the gas to enter the inside of the aerosol generator. The gas entering the air flow cover is sprayed out through the nozzle of the upper plate of the flat capacitor, forming a gas passage through the internal space of the flat capacitor. The negative electrode of the high-voltage direct current power supply is connected to the upper plate of the flat capacitor, and the positive electrode is connected to the metal bolt fixing the lower plate. By applying high-voltage electricity to charge the capacitor, a directional electric field is formed between the plates, and the particles on the lower plate are charged. The charged particles are affected by the electric field force and move away from the lower plate and towards the upper plate. When the particles contact the upper plate, the charge disappears and returns to the lower plate under the action of gravity. The particles continue to move repeatedly during charging and discharging, thereby forming a stable aerosol between the plates of the flat capacitor. The particle number density in the aerosol is adjusted by adjusting the strength of the direct current power supply and the distance between the plates, and theoretically a single particle can be transported one by one. The particles carried by the airflow between the plates are sprayed out of the nozzle of the upper plate, forming an aerosol jet, and the aluminum particles are transported into the burner.
[0010] The optical diagnostic system comprises a high-speed microscopic photography system, an emission spectrum system, and a colorimetric temperature measurement system. The high-speed microscopic photography system is used for online observation of the agglomeration and ignition process of the aluminum particles on the propellant combustion surface. The emission spectrum system is used for measuring wide spectrum data. The colorimetric temperature measurement system measures temperature information by colorimetry.
[0011] Further, the high-speed microscopic photographing system comprises a high-speed camera and a long-focus return type microscope lens, and a spatial resolution of 10 μm is achieved by the combination of the high-speed camera and the long-focus return type microscope lens; the high-speed camera can reach a frame rate of 10000 at a resolution of 600*800 pixels, and the exposure time can be as low as 10 μs. Therefore, the high-speed microscopic photographing system is used for online observation of the agglomeration of aluminum particle on the propellant combustion surface and the ignition process. The high-speed camera can be matched with a common microscope lens or even an industrial-grade microscope lens. When the magnification is set to 1:1, the resolution of the high-speed camera can approach 10-20 μm, and the micro flame structure observation of a larger single particle or particle group can be satisfied.
[0012] The emission spectrum system mainly comprises a portable fiber-optic spectrometer. A fiber-optic probe is connected to a collimator installed on a fixing base. The recording interval of the spectrometer is 0.25 nm, the actual resolution is 0.4 nm, wide spectrum data can be quickly collected in the wavelength range of 200-1100 nm, and the collection frequency can reach 100 Hz.
[0013] The colorimetric temperature measurement system adopts a colorimetric method to measure temperature information. The colorimetric method is a colorimetric method based on a single color digital camera, and has convenience and economy. The digital camera adopts three channels of RGB to record color information. After the equipment is individually calibrated, the temperature information is obtained based on the camera calibration data and the measured emission coefficient variation law with temperature according to the formula:
[0014]
[0015] The integral ratio of radiation intensity at different temperatures is calculated, and a contrast curve or table is established. After the colorimetric data of the measured object are obtained, the curve or table is searched and linear interpolation is performed to obtain the temperature information.
[0016] The working method of the experimental system for analyzing combustion of aluminum powder with different number concentrations disclosed in the application is as follows: a multi-element flat flame burner and an aerosol generator are placed in a high-pressure bin, and various gas paths are connected, a high-speed camera, a spectrometer and a digital camera are placed; the high-pressure bin is closed, combustion gas is introduced from the lower part of the burner, oxidizing gas is introduced from the upper part of the burner, mixing is carried out in a capillary, and the mixed gas reaches the capillary port; a laser igniter is started, the capillary port is ignited, and an approximately planar diffusion flame array is formed; the aerosol generator is started, aluminum particles are dispersed in the gas environment, safety gas is introduced, the aluminum powder is carried out by the safety gas to form a particle density stable particle carrying gas flow, and the aluminum particles are transported into the burner; the flow of the combustion gas is gradually reduced, the flow of the oxidizing gas is changed, the flow of the aluminum particles is changed by changing the flow of the safety gas, until the flow of the combustion gas is 0, the aluminum particle combustion flame is stable, the flow of the oxidizing gas and the flow of the safety gas at this time are recorded, the real-time flame state is recorded through the quartz observation window by using the high-speed camera, the spectrum data are recorded by using the spectrometer, and the real-time picture is taken by using the digital camera. Since the fuel gas and the oxidizing gas introduced into the burner in the radial direction and the gas-solid mixed fuel introduced into the burner in the axial direction are all introduced into the burner in the form of a jet, the generation of turbulence and backflow is reduced. The particle number density in the aerosol generator is adjusted by adjusting the intensity of the direct current voltage and the distance between the plates, and single particles are sequentially transported. Through the experiment in the high-pressure bin, the high-pressure gas phase environment in the real combustion device is simulated in real time.
