Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of engine combustion chambers and combustion heater devices, and in particular relates to a coaxial injection design method for bubbles and pintles and a nozzle. Background Art
[0002] The injector or nozzle is the core component in the combustion chamber for organizing the injection, atomization and combustion of fuel and oxidizer. Fixed cross-sectional area injectors are usually used in turbine gas turbines, liquid rocket engines, combustion heaters and other equipment to solve the problem of sufficient atomization of liquid fuel. For example, the combustion chamber of a turbine engine uses an air atomizing nozzle, and the atomization of its liquid fuel is more dependent on the supply of air and reasonable gas-liquid atomization organization; while liquid rocket engines often use coaxial nozzles, but because there is no large recirculation area design, it is difficult to adapt to large changes in the flow rate of fuel and oxidizer. Recently, the application of pintle nozzles in liquid rocket engines has received attention. It has a large recirculation area and a strong ability to adapt to changes in the flow rate of fuel and oxidizer, but it has problems such as insufficient ability to adapt to changes in the oil-gas ratio. Overall, the existing nozzles have the following objective deficiencies:
[0003] (1) For air atomizing nozzles, a large air flow rate is often required. Since many power units or combustion heaters are difficult to supply sufficient atomizing gas, it will be difficult to atomize, ignite and efficiently burn liquid fuel in the case of low atomizing gas;
[0004] (2) For coaxial nozzles, including coaxial direct current nozzles and coaxial centrifugal nozzles, the ability to adapt to large-scale changes in fuel and oxidant flow rates is weak, and they can usually only be used for fixed working conditions or small-range change working conditions;
[0005] (3) For the pintle nozzle, the ability to adapt to flow changes is stronger than that of the coaxial nozzle, but the combustion efficiency will deteriorate at too small a flow rate. For example, the combustion efficiency in an overly rich or oxygen-rich state drops from more than 96% of the main design point to 80% or even lower.
[0006] The above nozzles all need to be equipped with torch igniters or other high-energy devices to achieve wide-range reliable ignition and flame stabilization.
[0007] Currently, there is an urgent need to develop a coaxial injection design method and nozzle for the bubble and the pintle. Summary of the invention
[0008] One technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a design method for injection with a bubble and a pintle coaxially. Another technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a nozzle with a bubble and a pintle coaxially.
[0009] The bubble and pintle coaxial injection design method of the present invention comprises the following steps:
[0010] S10. Determine the technical solution;
[0011] Adopt a main and auxiliary double-module nozzle. The auxiliary module uses a bubble nozzle, and the main module uses a pin bolt nozzle. The two are coaxially injected;
[0012] S20. Determine the technical functions of each module;
[0013] The flow rate of the auxiliary module is less than that of the main module; the bubble nozzle of the auxiliary module realizes small-flow ignition and reliable combustion through bubble injection, and the pin bolt nozzle of the main module organizes combustion under large flow rates through pin bolt injection; the high-temperature gas generated by the combustion of the bubble-injected gas serves as the ignition and flame-stabilizing torch for the pin bolt-injected gas;
[0014] S30. Determine the flow rate requirements for each module;
[0015] The flow rate of the auxiliary module is 1 / 5 - 1 / 10 of the maximum total flow rate, which is used to achieve the mixing, atomization, injection, and combustion organization of liquid fuel and gas oxidant at a maximum flow rate ratio of 3:1; through numerical simulation calculations, it is found that if the mixing atomization is greater than 3%, the combustion efficiency of the auxiliary module is higher than 96% within the working range;
[0016] The minimum flow rate of the main module is 80% - 100% of the maximum flow rate of the auxiliary module, and the forms of annular slot and annular slot injection or annular slot and hole injection are adopted; through numerical simulation calculations, it is found that when the injection momentum ratio of liquid fuel and gas oxidant is (0.5 - 3.0):1, sufficient atomization is ensured; when the ratio d of the maximum working flow rate to the minimum working flow rate of the main module is greater than or equal to 5:1, the combustion efficiency is higher than 95%;
[0017] It is also found through numerical simulation calculations that if the flow rate ratio of the maximum flow rate of the main module to the minimum flow rate of the auxiliary module is greater than or equal to 25:1, the overall combustion efficiency is still higher than 95%;
[0018] S40. Determine the processing method of the bubble and pin bolt coaxial nozzle;
[0019] The bubble nozzle of the auxiliary module and the pin bolt nozzle of the main module are respectively manufactured by 3D additive manufacturing method; the auxiliary module and the main module have the same central axis. The auxiliary module is inserted into the main module from top to bottom, and the two are hermetically connected through a radial sealing ring and a thread connection to obtain a bubble and pin bolt coaxial nozzle.
[0020] The bubble and pin bolt coaxial nozzle of the present invention includes an auxiliary module and a main module with the same central axis. The auxiliary module is a bubble nozzle, and the main module is a pin bolt nozzle. The pin bolt nozzle is sleeved outside the bubble nozzle, and the outlet of the bubble nozzle is located inside the cavity of the pin bolt nozzle;
[0021] In the upper part of the bubble and pintle coaxial nozzle, the secondary mold and the main mold are separated in half by staggered manner to form two layers of four cavities; the upper layer is the fuel manifold cavity I and the oxidant manifold cavity I of the bubble nozzle of the secondary mold, which respectively provide liquid fuel and gaseous oxidant for the bubble nozzle; the lower layer is the fuel manifold cavity II and the oxidant manifold cavity II of the pintle nozzle of the main mold, which respectively provide liquid fuel and gaseous oxidant for the pintle nozzle; the fuel manifold cavity I and the oxidant manifold cavity II are opposite to each other in the upper and lower parts, and are located on the left side of the bubble and pintle coaxial nozzle; the oxidant manifold cavity I and the fuel manifold cavity II are opposite to each other in the upper and lower parts, and are located on the right side of the bubble and pintle coaxial nozzle;
[0022] The top of the bubble and pintle coaxial nozzle is provided with inlet pipes which are respectively connected with the fuel manifold chamber I and the oxidant manifold chamber I and the fuel manifold chamber II and the oxidant manifold chamber II.
[0023] Compared with traditional nozzles, the bubble and pintle coaxial nozzle of the present invention uses the sub-mold bubble nozzle as an ignition and flame stabilizer, and there is no need to set up a torch igniter or other high-energy device; compared with traditional pintle nozzles, the flow adjustment range is wider, and the required maximum flow adjustment can be achieved. At the same time, reliable ignition and stable combustion can be achieved when the minimum flow is greater than or equal to 25:1; compared with pintle nozzles, the combustion efficiency in low flow conditions such as overly rich fuel or oxygen-rich conditions is not less than 95%, while the combustion efficiency of traditional pintle nozzles is usually less than 80%.
[0024] The bubble and pintle coaxial injection design method of the present invention adopts a compact layout partition type four-cavity design, and the obtained bubble and pintle coaxial nozzle has a simple and reliable structure, is lightweight, and has engineering practical value.
