Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aviation engines, in particular to a low-emission central staged combustion chamber based on sub- / supercritical kerosene mixed combustion. Background Art
[0002] The center-staged combustion chamber is a partitioned and graded combustion chamber. The common configuration is that the flame tube head is coaxially nested with the pre-combustion stage and the main combustion stage. The pre-combustion stage can be opened separately when the engine is in the slow-running state, and plays a role in flame stabilization when the main combustion stage is working; while the main combustion stage works when the aircraft engine is running at high power, the combustion area of the pre-combustion stage will interact with the main combustion stage flame, which can improve the combustion efficiency. The characteristic of the center-staged combustion chamber is that it broadens the stable working range of the combustion chamber, can stably burn in a high oil-gas ratio environment, and reduces the emission of pollutants such as NOx, meeting the future design requirements for high temperature rise of military aircraft engines / low pollution of civil aircraft engines.
[0003] With the development goal of "two highs and one wide" for future aircraft engines, aircraft will operate in the high-speed domain of 3.5-5Ma. At this time, the total temperature of the air will be very high, and the working efficiency of traditional compressors will be reduced at high temperatures. In response to this situation, the concept of "air pre-cooling" was proposed. This cooling method uses the fuel carried by the aircraft itself as a cooling medium to cool the air flowing through the compressor. While improving the working efficiency of the compressor, it also brings this part of the heat into the combustion chamber, making the temperature rise at the combustion chamber outlet higher, while meeting the design requirements for high temperature rise of military aircraft engines. Therefore, using supercritical kerosene as fuel is the future development trend of aircraft engines. Summary of the invention

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the low-emission central staged combustion chamber based on sub- / supercritical kerosene mixed combustion provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. For the central staged combustion chamber under full power conditions, an innovative combustion organization mode of pre-combustion stage combustion of subcritical kerosene and main combustion stage combustion of supercritical kerosene is adopted, which utilizes the advantages of high temperature rise, low pollution emission, uniform distribution of combustion chamber outlet temperature and high combustion efficiency brought by supercritical kerosene combustion. A small amount of subcritical kerosene burned in the pre-combustion stage can interact with the main combustion stage flame, thereby achieving a flame stabilization effect, which makes the combustion chamber have better lean oil ignition performance than pure supercritical combustion.
[0017] Second, for the slow-running condition of the center-stage combustion chamber, the innovative combustion organization mode of the main combustion stage not working and the pre-combustion stage burning supercritical kerosene is adopted. The gradual expansion nozzle pressure expansion, the direct-injection nozzle spraying perpendicular to the airflow direction of the first inlet, the first and second swirler blades rotating in opposite directions and other methods are used together to strengthen the supercritical kerosene mixing and ensure the flame stability, overcoming the shortcoming of the poor flame stability performance of the combustion chamber under supercritical combustion. The characteristics of supercritical kerosene combustion with high combustion efficiency and low pollution emissions are used to reduce the unburned hydrocarbon emissions of aircraft under slow-running conditions such as takeoff and landing, and reduce the pollution to the air around the airport, so as to meet the increasingly stringent pollutant emission regulations of the civil aviation industry.
[0018] 3. Under the condition of low kerosene mass flow rate in slow running condition, the present invention innovatively adopts a two-stage heating method, which first uses the first-stage precooler to exchange the waste heat generated in the working process of the compressor to heat the kerosene to the transcritical temperature, and then uses the electric heating tube to further accurately control the temperature of the kerosene to the supercritical temperature. This method helps to reduce the time that the kerosene stays at the supercritical temperature and avoids heating the kerosene to too high a temperature, thereby suppressing the shortcoming that supercritical kerosene is easy to coke at high temperature.

The left end of the central staged combustion chamber shell 48 is provided with a diffuser 41, which penetrates the central staged combustion chamber shell 48 to the right and extends to the inside thereof. The left side of the diffuser is an air intake composed of a first-stage compressor 51, a second-stage compressor 62, and a first-stage precooler 53. Furthermore, a high-energy spark plug 49 is installed from the outside of the central staged combustion chamber shell 48.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 5 The pipeline from the oil tank 54 leads to the oil pump 58, and the pipeline at the outlet of the oil pump 58 is bifurcated into a subcritical kerosene pipeline 42 and a supercritical kerosene pipeline 43, and a subcritical kerosene pipeline stop valve 63 and a supercritical kerosene pipeline stop valve 64 are respectively provided thereon, wherein the subcritical kerosene pipeline 42 directly extends into the central staged combustion chamber shell 48, and is connected to the first fuel supply pipeline 16 of the pre-combustion stage through a threaded interface 45; and the supercritical kerosene pipeline 43 leads to the inlet of the first precooler 53, the first precooler The outlet of the device 53 is connected to the three-way valve 59 through a pipeline. The outlet pipeline on the left side of the three-way valve 59 passes through the electric heating pipe 56, penetrates the central staged combustion chamber shell 48 and is connected to the second oil supply pipeline 17 of the pre-combustion stage through the threaded interface 45; the right side of the three-way valve 59 is connected to the compressor bleed air precooler 55 through a pipeline.

[0047] The centrifugal nozzle 11 is opened on the right side of the pre-combustion stage center column 25, and the direct-injection nozzle 12 is opened circumferentially because the centrifugal nozzle 11 sprays subcritical kerosene, which will first form a conical liquid film after being ejected from the nozzle, and then break into kerosene particles of different sizes under the combined action of wind and viscosity. Since larger kerosene droplets have higher momentum and the speed of subcritical kerosene mixing and combustion is slower, the length of the pre-combustion stage flame existence area a is larger, which can enhance the interaction between the main combustion stage and the pre-combustion stage flame under the full speed state of the engine; the direct-injection nozzle 12 sprays supercritical kerosene, which has the characteristic of fast mixing. It can be quickly mixed with air by being injected vertically into the lateral air flow of the first air inlet duct 26, which is beneficial to the subsequent high-temperature rise-low-pollution combustion.
[0048] The reason for designing the divergent nozzle 23 on the outer surface of the first air inlet 26 is that when the engine is operating at full power (see specific embodiment 1 for details), when the pre-combustion stage 2 sprays subcritical kerosene, the divergent nozzle 23 between the first-stage axial swirler 21 and the second-stage axial swirler 22 promotes the breakup of the liquid film sprayed from the centrifugal nozzle 11, and helps the kerosene splashing to cause secondary atomization. At the same time, the suction effect of the airflow at the outlet of the first-stage axial swirler and the second-stage axial swirler accelerates the fuel atomization and mixing process, which is beneficial to the ignition process.
[0049] The reason for designing the gradually diverging nozzle 24 on the outer surface of the second air inlet 27 is that when the air intake speed is subsonic, the gradually diverging nozzle 24 can act as a diffuser, further reducing the air flow speed and increasing the air flow pressure. When the engine is in the slow-running condition (see specific embodiment 2 for details), when only the pre-combustion stage 2 is working, the gradually diverging nozzle 24 can provide a local low-flow-rate, oil-rich environment, so that the fuel sprayed from the pre-combustion stage 2 burns at the nozzle of the gradually diverging nozzle 24, which is beneficial to improving the engine ignition performance and flame stability.
[0050] The oil distribution ring 19 can be regarded as an annular pipeline, which serves as an extension of the second oil supply pipeline 17 of the pre-combustion stage (the main combustion stage oil supply pipeline 18), adjusts the oil supply pressure, and is connected to the direct-injection nozzle 12 (coaxial nozzle 13) at one end to supply oil evenly to each nozzle, ensuring that the injection pressure at the outlet of each nozzle is basically consistent with the kerosene mass flow rate.
[0051] The reason why the main combustion stage 3 uses the coaxial nozzle 13 to spray fuel into the flame tube is that the mass flow rate of the fuel sprayed by the main combustion stage 3 is more than one order of magnitude higher than that of the pre-combustion stage 3, so the problem of large flow rate injection and mixing must be considered. The coaxial nozzle 13 injects supercritical kerosene in the inner cavity and air in the outer cavity to enhance mixing. In addition, the nozzle diameter of the coaxial nozzle 13 is larger than that of the straight nozzle 12, and a larger kerosene mass flow rate can be achieved at the same injection pressure to meet the requirements of the large kerosene mass flow rate of the main combustion stage 3.
[0052] The function of the coaxial nozzle air intake slit 44 is to draw a small amount of air from the third air inlet duct 33 to supply air to the coaxial nozzle 13 .
[0053] The reason why the third air inlet duct 33 is designed in a zigzag shape is to make the airflow perpendicular to the injection direction of the coaxial nozzle 13; in addition, the reason why the three-stage radial swirler 31 adopts a radial swirler instead of an axial swirler is the same as above. The zigzag third air inlet duct 33 is used to construct an airflow perpendicular to the injection direction of the coaxial nozzle 13, thereby enhancing the mixing effect of supercritical kerosene and air.
[0054] The reason for opening the air film hole 29 on the divergent nozzle 24 is that under slow-running conditions, the supercritical kerosene injected by the pre-combustion stage 2 is mixed with air and burns at the outlet of the divergent nozzle 24. Therefore, a small amount of gas is introduced from the combustion chamber head 1 to cool the inner wall of the divergent nozzle 24, thereby reducing its surface temperature and increasing its service life. The reason why the boss 36 requires impact-air film cooling is that the right side of the boss 36 can be regarded as a blunt body. Under full-power conditions of the engine, a recirculation zone will be formed on the right side of the boss 36. At that time, the kerosene injected by the main combustion stage 3 will burn in the recirculation zone, which may cause the right surface temperature of the boss 36 to be too high, resulting in melting or ablation. Therefore, an air flow is used from the impact hole 37 to enter the inner surface of the purge impact chamber 38 to remove heat and cool the inside of the boss 36. In addition, the air flow in the impact chamber 38 is discharged from the air film hole 29 on the right surface of the boss 36, which helps to push the above-mentioned recirculation zone away from the boss 36 and slow down the ablation effect on the outer surface of the boss 36.
[0055] Working principle of oil supply pipeline:
[0056] ① Under full power condition: the stop valve 63 of the subcritical kerosene pipeline is open, the stop valve 64 of the supercritical kerosene pipeline is open, and the three-way valve 59 is in the right-open state. Under the action of the oil pump 58, the room-temperature kerosene is pumped out from the oil tank, and then the kerosene is pumped into the subcritical kerosene pipeline 42 and the supercritical kerosene pipeline 43 respectively. Affected by the different cross-sectional areas of the pipelines and the nozzles, the ratio of the kerosene mass flow rate in the subcritical kerosene pipeline 42 and the supercritical kerosene pipeline 43 is about 1:10. The room-temperature kerosene in the subcritical kerosene pipeline 42 enters the first oil supply pipeline 16 of the pre-combustion stage, and is supplied by the central column 25 of the pre-combustion stage. The kerosene in the supercritical kerosene pipeline 43 first enters the first-stage precooler 53 to exchange heat with the compressed air compressed by the first-stage compressor 51. The kerosene is first heated to a subcritical state of about 240-280°C, and then passes through the three-way valve 59 to enter the compressor bleed air precooler 55 to exchange heat with the compressor bleed air pipe 62, so that the kerosene is further heated to a supercritical state, and finally enters the main combustion stage oil supply pipeline 18 and is ejected by the coaxial nozzle 13.
[0057] ② Under the slow-speed working condition: the stop valve 63 of the subcritical kerosene pipeline is closed, the stop valve 64 of the supercritical kerosene pipeline is opened, the three-way valve 59 is in the left-open state, and the electric heating pipe 56 is powered on. Under the action of the oil pump 58, the room-temperature kerosene is pumped out from the oil tank. Because the stop valve 63 of the subcritical kerosene pipeline is in the closed state, the kerosene can only enter the supercritical kerosene pipeline 43. Due to the influence of the cross-section of the pipeline and the direct-injection nozzle 12, the mass flow rate of kerosene in the pipeline under the slow-speed working condition is much lower than that under the full-power working condition mentioned above, which also makes the kerosene in the supercritical kerosene pipeline 43 heated to a higher temperature when it is pumped into the first-stage precooler 53, about 350°C, and then enters the electric heating pipe 56 through the three-way valve 59 to be electrically heated to a supercritical temperature of 380°C, and the error is controlled within ±2°C. Finally, the kerosene enters the second oil supply pipeline 17 of the pre-combustion stage and is sprayed out by the direct-injection nozzle 12. The function of the generator 57 is to supply power to the avionics equipment on the aircraft and to allocate part of the electrical energy for heating kerosene under slow vehicle conditions.
[0058] The electric heating tube 56 is a hollow pipe bent into a spiral shape and made of high-temperature alloy steel. Both ends of the steel tube are connected to an AC power supply with a rated voltage of 220V and a power of 5kW. The fuel flowing through the high-temperature alloy steel tube is heated by its own resistance (about 2Ω). The temperature of the inlet and outlet of the electric heating tube 56 is monitored by a thermocouple, and precise temperature control is achieved by changing the current applied to the electric heating tube 56.
[0059] The first-stage precooler 53 is arranged between the first-stage compressor 51 and the second-stage compressor 52, which can convert the adiabatic compression into a process close to isothermal compression, thereby improving the efficiency of the compressor unit. At the same time, by exchanging heat with kerosene, this part of the heat is brought into the combustion chamber, thereby realizing a high temperature rise in the combustion chamber. The function of the compressor bleed pipe 62 is to lead out part of the compressed air for cooling the turbine 61. The compressor bleed air precooler 55 is installed at the inlet of the compressor bleed pipe 62. While further heating the kerosene to the supercritical temperature, it also reduces the temperature of the compressed air in the compressor bleed pipe 62, thereby enhancing the cooling effect on the turbine 61.
[0060] Whether in full power or slow-running conditions, the supercritical kerosene pipeline 43 adopts a two-stage heating method, which can reduce the time that kerosene stays at supercritical temperature and slow down the coking effect of kerosene at high temperature. The reason why the second-stage heating under slow-running conditions adopts electric heating is that the mass flow rate of the oil supply under slow-running conditions is small. If the kerosene directly enters the compressor bleed air precooler 55 for heating, it may be heated to a temperature above 400°C, and there is a risk of coking and clogging the pipeline; while electric heating can accurately control the temperature at which the kerosene is heated to avoid coking and clogging the pipeline. In addition, under slow-running conditions, the kerosene has been heated to a higher temperature during the first-stage heating, and the temperature increment required for the second-stage heating is small, and it does not consume too much electricity.
[0061] It is worth noting that compressors, oil pumps, turbines and engines are commonly used equipment and belong to existing mature technologies. Their working principles and specific structures will not be described in detail here.
[0062] The technical effects of the present invention are described below through specific embodiments and comparative examples. Specific embodiment 1:
[0064] This case is used to test the "full power" condition of the central staged combustion chamber, that is, the pre-combustion stage 2 injects / burns subcritical kerosene and the main combustion stage 3 injects / burns supercritical kerosene.
[0065] The experimental equipment includes a combustion chamber head 1, a high-energy spark plug 49; and a 30° circle cut in the annular combustion chamber composed of a flame tube 46 and a central staged combustion chamber shell 48 as the combustion chamber shell used for the experiment. The two cross-sections of the combustion chamber are sealed with quartz glass to observe the ignition and flameout conditions in the laboratory.
[0066] The air used in the experiment is provided by the compressor unit, and the air mass flow rate is between 50-600g / s. The temperature of the air entering the combustion chamber is controlled by the electric heater in the range of 700-750K (about 427-477 degrees Celsius). Table 1 shows the air flow distribution scheme in each area of the combustion chamber and in each inlet duct of the combustion chamber head 1. It is worth mentioning that the values in this table are calculated based on the ideal gas assumption that the gas flow rate is proportional to the cross-sectional area of the flow channel, and are not actual values. The gas distribution of each part may be affected by factors such as the actual gas flow rate, temperature, turbulence, etc., but the data in this table can be used as a reference for calculating the local oil-gas ratio in the combustion chamber.
[0067] Table 1 Air flow distribution of each part
[0068]
[0069] The fuel supply parameters are: the main combustion stage uses aviation kerosene with an oil temperature of 380°C, the pre-combustion stage uses aviation kerosene at room temperature, and the kerosene mass flow distribution of the pre-combustion stage is 10% of the main combustion stage. When the total kerosene flow rate is increased to 3.6g / s, that is, when the kerosene flow rate of the main combustion stage 3 is increased to 3.2g / s, the oil pressure in the coaxial nozzle 13 of the main combustion stage 3 reaches the critical pressure of 2.4MPa, which is a supercritical injection; at low kerosene flow rate, it is a subcritical injection, and the main combustion stage 3 coaxial nozzle 13 sprays kerosene vapor with a temperature of 380°C, rather than supercritical kerosene. Specific embodiment 2:
[0071] This case is used to test the "slow-speed" condition of the center-staged combustion chamber, that is, the pre-combustion stage 2 injects / burns supercritical kerosene and the main combustion stage 3 is not working.
[0072] The pre-combustion stage uses aviation kerosene with an oil temperature of 380°C, and the kerosene mass flow rate in the pre-combustion stage 2 is the same as the pre-combustion stage kerosene mass flow rate in Example 1. According to the measured data, when the kerosene flow rate of the pre-combustion stage 2 is increased to 0.34g / s, the oil pressure reaches the critical pressure of 2.4MPa, which is a supercritical injection. The rest is completely the same as in Specific Example 1.
[0073] Comparative Example 1:
[0074] On the basis of Specific Example 1, both the pre-combustion stage and the main combustion stage use aviation kerosene with an oil temperature of 380°C, and the kerosene mass flow distribution of the pre-combustion stage is 10% of that of the main combustion stage. At a small flow rate, the kerosene does not reach the supercritical pressure and is gaseous injection; when the kerosene flow rate is increased to 3.6g / s, the oil pressure reaches the critical pressure of 2.4MPa, which is supercritical injection. The rest of the parts are completely the same as Specific Example 1.
[0075] Comparative Example 2:
[0076] On the basis of Specific Example 1, both the pre-combustion stage and the main combustion stage use subcritical aviation kerosene with an oil temperature of 100°C. The kerosene mass flow distribution of the pre-combustion stage is 10% of that of the main combustion stage, and the rest is completely identical to Specific Example 1.
[0077] The following tests were conducted on the performance of four groups of central staged combustion chambers of Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-2:
[0078] (1) Lean oil ignition limit determination
[0079] The lean-fuel ignition limit is an important parameter for measuring the performance of the combustion chamber. Generally speaking, the smaller the oil-gas ratio that can achieve stable ignition during ignition, the better the combustion chamber performance, and the safer the aircraft will be in the event of an emergency such as an engine shutdown in mid-air.
[0080] The experimental method is to keep the gas volume unchanged, gradually modify the mass flow rate of the fuel, and use the dichotomy method to find the lean ignition boundary of the combustion chamber. When the experimental conditions are close to the lean ignition boundary, there are three types of experimental results: (a) the first type of ignition failure, such as no fire core formation or failure of fire core propagation; (b) the second type of ignition failure, in which the flame is successfully ignited but fails to burn steadily after a period of time, and the flame is blown out, which can also be called a transition state; (c) ignition success, in which the flame is successfully ignited and maintains burning for more than ten seconds. The above three ignition results are represented by inverted triangles, half-solid circles and solid circles, respectively, and are recorded in combination with the corresponding air and fuel mass flow rates. Figure 8-12 middle.
[0081] Comparative Example 1: Figure 8As shown, the left side of the dotted line is a subcritical injection. At a lower air flow rate, the kerosene flow rate required for ignition is also less. At this time, due to the low injection pressure, the injected kerosene is in a subcritical state (gaseous state). At this time, a pseudo-rich oil limit is formed in the combustion chamber, and the oil-gas ratio range for successful ignition in the combustion chamber becomes narrower. As the kerosene flow rate increases, the pseudo-rich oil limit is gradually improved and disappears, and the ignition performance of the combustion chamber becomes better as the kerosene flow rate increases. The right side of the dotted line is a supercritical injection. When the kerosene mass flow rate is further increased, when the injection pressure reaches the supercritical state, after increasing the kerosene flow rate, the corresponding air volume when the ignition is successful does not increase further as expected. This shows that after using supercritical kerosene, the lean oil ignition boundary of the combustion chamber becomes narrower, that is, the lean oil ignition performance becomes worse.
[0082] In order to study the relationship between the oil-gas ratio and the ignition condition in comparative example 1, the oil-gas ratio is equal to the kerosene mass flow rate diagram divided by the combustion chamber inlet air mass flow rate under the condition. Figure 8 After swapping the horizontal and vertical coordinates, we get Fig. 9 The slope is the oil-gas ratio. When the kerosene mass flow rate is less than 3.6g / s under subcritical conditions, the lean oil ignition boundary oil-gas ratio is in the range of 0.009 to 0.01; while for the three groups whose injection flow rate reaches supercritical pressure, the lean oil ignition boundary oil-gas ratio is around 0.018. There are two possible reasons for the poor ignition performance of kerosene under full supercritical conditions: first, when kerosene reaches supercritical pressure and is ejected, the injection pressure is greater and the relative velocity between the jet and the ambient airflow is higher, which is equivalent to creating a local high velocity zone near the nozzle outlet, which is not conducive to flame stability; second, the atomization injection process of traditional subcritical kerosene is non-steady-state, in which the distribution of kerosene concentration and kerosene atomized particle size with time and space is uneven. When a spark discharge moment happens to match the moment when the kerosene concentration near the ignition position is high during ignition, it is easy to form an initial fire nucleus, which increases the ignition success rate. Under supercritical conditions, the mixing speed of the ejected kerosene and air is several orders of magnitude higher than the subcritical. Therefore, the supercritical atomization injection process can be approximated as steady-state. In addition, the concentration distribution is more uniform, so it is difficult to match the moment when the kerosene concentration is high during spark discharge, thereby reducing the ignition success rate.
[0083] Comparative Example 2: From Fig.10It can be seen that the oil-gas ratio at the lean oil ignition boundary of Control Example 2 is greater than 0.01 under any working condition. Comparing Control Example 2 with Control Example 1, under the subcritical working condition where the kerosene mass flow rate is less than 3.6 grams per second, the oil-gas ratio at the lean oil ignition boundary of Control Example 1 is slightly lower than that of Control Example 2. This is because increasing the kerosene temperature can widen the lean oil ignition oil-gas ratio. However, when the kerosene mass flow rate is less than 3.6 grams per second, the oil-gas ratio at the lean oil ignition boundary of Control Example 2 is significantly lower than that of Control Example 1 at supercritical injection pressure and temperature. This proves that supercritical combustion will make the lean oil ignition performance of the combustion chamber worse than subcritical combustion, eliminating the interference with the ignition performance of the combustion chamber caused by the excessively fast air flow velocity in the combustion chamber under large air flow.
[0084] Specific Example 1: Compared with Control Example 1, the "pseudo-rich limit" is greatly weakened at a lower air flow rate. This is because under this operating condition, the pre-combustion stage sprays liquid kerosene at room temperature, while the main combustion stage does not reach the supercritical injection pressure and sprays gaseous kerosene vapor. The liquid kerosene injected by the pre-combustion stage has a slower crushing-mixing process and has a higher momentum, and will burn at a position farther away from the nozzle, which helps to weaken the "pseudo-rich limit" at low flow rates.
[0085] In addition, the ignition performance under supercritical conditions with kerosene mass flow rate above 3.6g / s has also been improved. Fig.11 It is shown that the ignition oil-gas ratio under supercritical conditions is still maintained at about 0.01, compared with the control example 1 ( Fig. 9 ), a fuel-gas ratio of 0.02 can achieve stable ignition under supercritical conditions. This shows that the combustion organization mode of burning subcritical kerosene in the pre-combustion stage and supercritical kerosene in the main combustion stage can solve the problem that pure supercritical combustion will cause the poor ignition performance of the combustion chamber.
[0086] Specific embodiment 2: Compared with specific embodiment 1, the lean oil ignition of the combustion chamber in specific embodiment 2 is lower, only about 0.001. Fig.12 . It is worth noting that the oil-gas ratio here refers to the overall oil-gas ratio in the combustion chamber, not the local oil-gas ratio near the pre-combustion stage. The air intake of the pre-combustion stage is about 1 / 15 of the air intake of the main combustion stage. Based on this calculation, the local oil-gas ratio near the pre-combustion stage is about 0.04-0.05, which belongs to oil-rich combustion. In addition, when the mass flow rate of the injected kerosene is higher than 0.34g / s, the injection pressure reaches 2.4MPa, which belongs to supercritical injection. At this time, the total oil-gas ratio that can achieve stable ignition is still maintained at about 0.001, or even slightly increased. This shows that under the joint action of flame stabilization measures such as the gradually expanding nozzle and the + / - direction strong swirl type swirler, the ignition performance of the pre-combustion stage combustion supercritical kerosene has not decreased, which further proves that the shortcoming of poor oil-poor ignition performance of the combustion chamber under pure supercritical conditions has been solved.
[0087] (2) Combustion efficiency measurement
[0088] The XGF-404 flue gas analyzer is used to measure the content of CO, NO, NOx and unburned hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas, and the measurement results are converted into the pollutant emission index (EI) according to the CAEP6 standard, which is the ratio of the mass of a certain gaseous pollutant produced by combustion to the mass of the fuel consumed. Taking carbon monoxide as an example, the calculation method of its EI value is as follows:
[0089]
[0090] Where, P5 is the mole number of carbon monoxide measured by the instrument; M CO 、M C 、M H are the molar masses of carbon monoxide, carbon, and hydrogen respectively.
[0091] Similarly, the NO, NOx and unburned hydrocarbon content can also be calculated according to the above formula.
[0092] There are two ways to measure combustion efficiency. One is to calculate the ratio of actual heat release to theoretical heat release, and the other is to infer from combustion products. Here we use the method of inferring from combustion products, and the specific formula is as follows:
[0093]
[0094] Where, EI CO EI is the emission index of carbon monoxide (g / kg); CxHy is the emission index of unburned hydrocarbons (g / kg); H C is the calorific value of the fuel (J / kg).
[0095] In the experiment, considering that the oil-to-gas ratio will affect the exhaust pollutant emission index and combustion efficiency, the oil-to-gas ratio is controlled in the range of 0.020-0.022. This is because within this range, the kerosene in Example 1, Example 2 and Control Example 1 can reach the supercritical injection pressure and can burn stably.
[0096] Table 2 Combustion chamber tail gas pollutant emission index and combustion efficiency
[0097]
[0098]
[0099] Comparing Example 1 / Example 2 / Control Example 1 with Control Example 2, the combustion efficiency and pollutant emission index under the condition of complete or partial supercritical combustion are better than those under the condition of pure subcritical combustion.
[0100] Analyzing Example 1 and Control Example 1, on the basis of the main combustion stage burning supercritical kerosene, the pre-combustion stage using subcritical kerosene as fuel has higher combustion efficiency and lower pollutant emission index compared with supercritical kerosene. This may be because the chemical reaction rate of subcritical kerosene during combustion is lower than that of supercritical kerosene, which will lead to a longer flame length in the pre-combustion zone when the pre-combustion stage burns supercritical kerosene, strengthen the interaction between the flame of the pre-combustion stage and the flame of the main combustion stage, improve the combustion efficiency and thus reduce the pollutant emission. Comparing Example 1 with Example 2, the combustion efficiency of only turning on the pre-combustion stage in the engine slow state is higher than the combustion efficiency of the pre-combustion stage and the main combustion stage working at the same time in the engine full power state. This is because the oxygen during the combustion of the pre-combustion stage is only provided by the first-stage axial swirler 21 and the second-stage axial swirler 22. In order to achieve the purpose of flame stability, a local oil-rich environment close to the chemically appropriate ratio is provided for the pre-combustion stage during design, and the combustion efficiency is higher in the oil-rich state. However, the higher flame temperature during oil-rich combustion will promote the formation of nitric oxide, so the nitric oxide emission index in Example 2 is slightly higher than that in Example 1, which is inevitable in pursuit of flame stability performance.
[0101] In summary, the present invention utilizes the advantages of high temperature rise, low pollution emission, uniform temperature distribution at the combustion chamber outlet and high combustion efficiency brought by supercritical kerosene combustion by closing the main combustion stage and burning supercritical kerosene in the pre-combustion stage when the engine is in an idling state; and the combustion organization mode of the pre-combustion stage burning subcritical kerosene and the main combustion stage burning supercritical kerosene in the full power state of the engine, and overcomes the disadvantage that pure supercritical combustion will deteriorate the lean oil ignition performance of the combustion chamber.

After reading the above content, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and substitutions of the present invention will occur.
