TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of powder rocket engine gas storage cavity pressure regulation, and particularly relates to a powder rocket engine gas source pressure self-adaptive device. BACKGROUND
[0002] The fuel of the powder rocket engine is metal powder propellant, the storage form of the powder propellant in the engine is solid particles, and the delivery state is gas-solid two-phase flow. The main task of the powder rocket engine propellant supply system is to realize long-term storage and stable delivery of the powder propellant, and the supply system mainly consists of powder propellant, powder storage tank, piston and gas source supply device and the like.
[0003] In the powder rocket engine powder fuel supply system, a certain pressure gas source is needed to provide a certain pressure for the driving cavity and the fluidization cavity of the powder engine, and the pressure difference is used to adjust the piston movement speed to realize powder supply. At present, in the powder supply system experiment process, the gas source is divided into two categories of high-pressure gas cylinder and gas generator according to different application scenarios.
[0004] In the process of ground test of the powder rocket engine, the high-pressure gas cylinder is generally used as the gas source of the powder propellant system, and the pressure reducing valve is installed on the high-pressure gas cylinder to control the output gas flow pressure. However, in the working process of the powder engine rocket system, the gas carried by the high-pressure gas cylinder has small mass and fast consumption, and the mass of the high-pressure gas cylinder itself is large, which brings more negative mass to the whole rocket engine system.
[0005] When the gas generator is used as the gas source, the gas generated by the gas generator needs a gradual pressure process, and can be used as the gas source in the working process of the powder engine after reaching the working pressure. In the gradual pressure process of the gas generator, the generated gas source pressure will fluctuate, and the burning rate of the propellant column in the gas generator is related to the pressure. The fluctuation of the gas source pressure will cause the fluctuation of the burning rate of the propellant column. The coupling process between the change of the burning rate and the pressure causes the gas source pressure to be always in an unstable state, and it is difficult to control, which brings many problems to the working process of the powder engine system.
