Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of aviation fuel inerting system design, and relates to an aircraft inerting system performance model and an analysis method, and specifically relates to an aircraft inerting system performance model and an analysis method based on Simulink. Background Art

[0002] The civil aircraft fuel inerting system (FITS) usually consists of three subsystems: air handling system (CSAS), inert gas generation system (IGGS) and nitrogen-enriched gas distribution system (NEADS). CSAS includes inlet isolation valve, temperature isolation valve, temperature control valve, heat exchanger, etc., which are used to adjust air parameters so that the inert gas reaches the ideal pressure and temperature to improve the efficiency and life of ASM, and help protect the safety of downstream components and fuel tanks. IGGS usually consists of filters, air separation membranes (ASM), flow control valves and other equipment. The filter filters the air treated by CSAS to remove particles and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the airflow, and then passes it into one or more ASMs to separate and produce the required nitrogen-enriched inerting gas (NEA). The excess oxygen-enriched gas (OEA) is usually discharged outside the aircraft. NEADS usually consists of upstream check valves, flame suppressors, distribution check valves and other components. The purpose is to evenly distribute NEA from the onboard nitrogen generation system to the fuel tank to ensure that the oxygen concentration in the fuel tank meets the airworthiness requirements.

[0003] At present, there is a long iteration chain in the design of inerting systems and components in China. The early system design has low accuracy, and the indicators allocated to the equipment are somewhat blind and unreasonable.

[0147] This section is an embodiment of the present invention, which is used to explain and illustrate the technical solution of the present invention. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0148] Embodiment 1:

[0149] Modeling process:

[0150] A performance model and analysis method of civil aircraft inerting system based on Simulink, the mathematical modeling mainly includes the following aspects:

[0151] (I) Mathematical model of pipeline components

[0152] For the dynamic modeling of the piping components of the inerting system, it is necessary to consider the viscous friction loss between the pipeline and the gas and the convective heat transfer between the gas and the pipe wall.

[0153] The following assumptions are made for pipeline modeling:

[0154] 1) The volume of gas in the pipeline is constant and the gas in the pipeline is an ideal gas;

[0155] 2) The pressure and temperature vary according to the compressibility and heat capacity of the gas volume;

[0156] 3) Considering the impact of blockage on the pipeline, when the outlet velocity reaches the speed of sound, a blocked flow is generated;

[0157] (1) Conservation of mass

[0158] Relating mass flow rate to kinetics, the equation is as follows:

[0159]

[0160] The partial derivative equation of pipeline gas mass M with respect to pressure P and temperature T:

[0161]

[0162] Therefore, we can get:

[0163]

[0164] in:

[0165] t is time, in seconds;

[0166] and are the mass flow rates of the two ports, in kg / s;

[0167] TI is the temperature of the internal gas node, in K;

[0168] PI is the pressure of the internal gas node, in Pa;

[0169] ρI is the density of the internal gas node, in kg / m 3 ,

[0170] V is the volume of gas in the pipeline, in m 3 .

[0171] (2) Conservation of Energy

[0172] The conservation of energy relates the energy and heat flow rates to the dynamics of the pressure and temperature of the internal nodes representing the gas volume, and its equation is:

[0173]

[0174] The partial derivative equation of pipeline gas internal energy U with respect to pressure and temperature:

[0175]

[0176] in:

[0177] and are the heat flow rates at the two ports, in W;

[0178] It is the heat flow rate of heat exchange between the pipeline and the outside world, in W;

[0179] hI is the specific enthalpy of the internal gas node, in J / kg;

[0180] cpI is the constant pressure specific heat of the gas, in J / kg·℃;

[0181] Z is the compression factor;

[0182] R is the gas constant.

[0183] (3) Conservation of momentum

[0184] The momentum conservation equation captures the pressure drop in each half of the pipe due to momentum flux and viscous friction:

[0185]

[0186] The heat through port H is added to the internal gas node through energy conservation. For half of the pipe ports and the node connection between the internal gas is an adiabatic process, the relationship is:

[0187]

[0188] in:

[0189] PA, PR, and PI are the pressures of the two ports and the gas node, respectively, in Pa;

[0190] S is the cross-sectional area of ​​the pipeline, in m 2 ;

[0191] BA, ρB, ρI are the densities of the two ports and the gas node, respectively, in kg / m3.

[0192] ΔPAI and ΔPFI are the pressure losses caused by pipeline viscous friction, in Pa.

[0193] Along-the-line drag plays a role in flows in pipes or channels with inner surfaces. When a fluid flows through a pipe, there is friction between the fluid and the inner wall of the pipe, which slows down the movement of the fluid and causes energy loss. The resistance caused by this friction is called along-the-line drag. The magnitude of the along-the-line drag depends on several factors, including the geometry of the pipe, the roughness of the inner wall of the pipe, the properties of the fluid, and the flow rate. Generally, the along-the-line drag can be calculated using Darcy's formula. In laminar flow, the pressure loss caused by viscous friction at the pipe port is:

[0194]

[0195] in:

[0196] D h is the hydraulic diameter of the pipe in m;

[0197] u I is the dynamic viscosity from the tube to the internal gas node, in N·s / ㎡;

[0198] L is the pipeline length, in meters;

[0199] L eqv The total equivalent length of the local resistance, in meters;

[0200] f shape is the laminar viscous friction coefficient.

[0201] Friction coefficient f shape It is a key parameter that is related to the smoothness of the inner wall of the pipe and the viscosity of the fluid. The friction coefficient will also vary depending on the different types of pipe wall materials and fluid properties. Engineers need to select the appropriate friction coefficient based on the specific application scenario and fluid characteristics.

[0202] Darcy's formula is applicable to both laminar flow and turbulent flow, except that the friction coefficient λ is different in the two cases. In turbulent flow, the pressure loss caused by viscous friction at the pipe port is:

[0203]

[0204] Where: f Darcy is the Darcy drag friction factor.

[0205] The Moody diagram provides friction coefficient data for various fluids at different relative roughness, making it easier to obtain the value of the friction coefficient when applying the Darcy-Weisbach formula.

[0206] The Darcy friction factor is calculated based on the Haaland correlation:

[0207]

[0208] Where: rough It is the absolute roughness parameter of the inner surface of the pipeline.

[0209] (4) Convective heat exchange between pipeline and outside

[0210] The convection heat transfer equation between the tube wall and the gas inside the tube is:

[0211]

[0212] in:

[0213] Q conv is the rate of change of heat transfer due to convection, in W;

[0214] S surf is the surface area of ​​the pipeline, in m 2 ;

[0215] λ I is the thermal conductivity of the gas in the pipeline, in W / (m·K);

[0216] T H is the gas temperature outside the tube, in K.

[0217] Assuming that the temperature along the pipe is exponentially distributed, the convective heat transfer is

[0218]

[0219] in:

[0220] T in is the inlet temperature in the flow direction, in K;

[0221] c pavg is the specific heat of the gas at the average temperature in the pipeline, in J / kg·℃;

[0222] is the average mass flow rate of gas in the pipeline, in kg / s;

[0223] h coeff is the convection heat transfer coefficient between gas and tube wall, unit is W / (m 2 ·K).

[0224] (II) Mathematical model of isolation valve components

[0225] The isolation valve is a switch valve, which is mainly composed of a valve body, a valve cover, a valve disc, a sealing plate, a valve core, a valve seat, etc. It can only be in two states: open or closed, and has requirements for leakage levels. The isolation valve assembly is provided with an orifice with a variable opening area, which is controlled by a sliding ball mechanism to provide the FTIS with a deflation opening and closing function. The opening area changes with the relative position of the ball. The larger the opening area, the greater the valve lift, and the greater the flow rate of gas flowing through the valve assembly. The isolation valve assembly is provided with A and B inflow and outflow ports, and the concentration interface x O2 And an opening control interface x that receives a physical signal.

[0226] Since the local flow area of ​​the gas in the valve becomes narrower after flowing through the valve, when the orifice position reaches the speed of sound, a blocking state will occur. The local resistance limit node state is adiabatic and does not exchange heat with the external environment. When flowing through the resistance position, the flow area suddenly contracts and then expands. The gas accelerates during the contraction process, resulting in a pressure drop, and then suddenly expands. The gas separates from the wall in the process, and the pressure is only partially restored to produce a pressure drop.

[0227] (1) Conservation of mass

[0228] For a valve, the volume and mass of the fluid inside the valve are very small and can be ignored, so not much gas can accumulate in the valve. According to the principle of conservation of mass, the mass flow rate at the valve inlet is equal to the mass flow rate at the outlet, with inflow being positive and outflow being negative:

[0229]

[0230] in: and are the mass flow rates of the two ports respectively, in kg / s.

[0231] (2) Conservation of Energy

[0232] The valve element can be regarded as an adiabatic element, and no heat exchange occurs between the fluid and the wall around it. Energy flows from port A to port B in an advection manner.

[0233] φ A +φ B =0

[0234] in: and are the heat flow rates at the two ports, in W;

[0235] (3) Conservation of momentum

[0236] For valves, the momentum equation is usually used to calculate the pressure drop across the valve, usually using the DarcyWeisbach equation:

[0237]

[0238] in:

[0239] ΔP is the pressure drop, in Pa;

[0240] fDarcy is the Darcy drag friction factor;

[0241] ρ is the fluid density in kg / m 3 ;

[0242] v is the fluid velocity in m / s.

[0243] However, in order to simplify the calculation, the relationship between flow and resistance is usually simplified by an empirical formula. This method is used by foreign inertial system manufacturers. The simplified pressure drop equation is:

[0244]

[0245] in:

[0246] is the mass flow rate, in g / s;

[0247] σ is the density correction factor,

[0248] Z1 and Z2 are engineering recovery coefficients (each unit is selected according to the equipment)

[0249] The calculation formula is as follows:

[0250]

[0251] T ref =15°C(288.15K)

[0252] P ref =101325Pa(14.696psia)

[0253] Currently, only two states, open and closed, are considered for isolation valve assemblies. When the isolation valve assembly is opened, the system runs, and when the isolation valve assembly is closed, the system stops.

[0254] (III) Mathematical model of resistance element

[0255] At present, due to the initial gas state, the presence of ozone, water vapor and other impurities is not considered. Currently, only the ozone converter, filter and flame arrester are regarded as resistance elements. For resistance elements, mass accumulation is not considered, and they are only described by the relationship between pressure and flow.

[0256] (1) Conservation of mass

[0257] For the resistance element, not much gas can accumulate in the element. Without considering mass accumulation, the pressure difference between its inlet and outlet is calculated only by flow. According to the principle of mass conservation, the mass flow rate flowing through the inlet of the resistance element is equal to the mass flow rate at the outlet, with inflow being positive and outflow being negative:

[0258]

[0259] in: and are the mass flow rates of the two ports respectively, in kg / s.

[0260] (2) Conservation of Energy

[0261] The resistance element can be regarded as an insulating element. The gas flowing into and out of the port will not cause heat change, and there is no heat exchange between the fluid and the surrounding wall. Energy flows from port A to port B. The rate of change of heat flowing through the inlet is equal to the rate of change of heat flowing through the outlet:

[0262] φ A +φ B =0

[0263] in: and are the heat flow rates at the two ports, in W;

[0264] (3) Conservation of momentum

[0265] The external force of the fluid in the resistance element mainly lies in the viscous friction between the port and the gas and the component wall. At present, the empirical formula between pressure drop and flow rate is used abroad:

[0266]

[0267] in:

[0268] is the mass flow rate, in g / s;

[0269] σ is the density correction factor.

[0270] This equation is a linear combination of the mass flow rate and its square, an empirical relationship derived from experimental data obtained from component testing performed by the FTIS equipment supplier. This equation was introduced to simplify the complex FTIS model using the Darcy-Weisbach standard equation described above.

[0271] (III) Mathematical model of heat exchanger elements

[0272] According to foreign architecture references, the cross-flow plate heat exchanger is very suitable for aircraft fuel tank inerting systems due to its high efficiency, compact structure, light weight, pressure resistance, easy maintenance and cleaning, and strong adaptability.

[0273] The modeling process assumes that:

[0274] The fluid is single-phase; since the current system does not consider the existence of water vapor, the latent heat of vaporization is not considered; there is no chemical reaction inside the heat exchanger; there are enough ribs, and the temperature change of the fluid between each baffle can be ignored compared with the total change; the heat exchange plate is thin, the axial and radial heat conduction on the plate can be ignored, and the lateral temperature is uniform; the inlet effect of the fluid is ignored; it is assumed that the temperature is mixed evenly on the cross section of the flow channel; only the heat exchange between the cold and hot fluids is considered, and the heat exchange between the heat exchanger and the external environment is not considered.

[0275] (1) Conservation of mass

[0276] Assuming that the fluid is not compressible in the heat exchanger, its mass conservation is expressed as the sum of the mass flow rate at port A and the mass flow rate at port B is zero.

[0277]

[0278] in: and are the mass flow rates of the two ports respectively, in kg / s.

[0279] (2) Conservation of Energy

[0280] Energy can be transferred via heat flow between ports A and B and via the hot and cold side heat exchange from port H. Inflow is positive and outflow is negative.

[0281] φ A +φ B +φ H =0

[0282] in:

[0283] and are the heat fluxes at ports A and B respectively;

[0284] is the rate of change of heat transfer of hot and cold fluids, in W;

[0285] (3) Conservation of momentum

[0286] The pressure drop of gas flowing through a heat exchanger is a function of mass flow rate given by an empirical formula and has a certain flow range limitation.

[0287]

[0288] in:

[0289] is the mass flow rate, in g / s;

[0290] σ is the density correction factor.

[0291] The total heat transfer area and heat transfer coefficient for the hot and cold side gases can be expressed in the form of an exponential mass flow rate.

[0292]

[0293] in:

[0294] K1 and K2 are the heat transfer coefficients of the hot and cold sides, respectively, in W / m 2 K;

[0295] F1 and F2 are the heat transfer areas of the hot and cold sides, respectively, in m 2 ;

[0296] are the mass flow rates of the hot and cold sides respectively, in kg / s.

[0297] In the formula, a and b are empirical coefficients that can be obtained through experiments.

[0298] (4) Establishment of η-NTU heat transfer module components

[0299] In heat exchanger analysis, if the inlet and outlet temperatures of the fluid are known or can be calculated using energy balance, the logarithmic mean temperature difference can be used for analysis, but if there is no outlet temperature and efficiency, the NTU method can be used for analysis. The η-NTU method is usually used in the design calculation of plate heat exchangers. The heat exchanger component is a composite subsystem, including the cold side gas component, the hot side gas component and the η-NTU heat transfer module component.

[0300] The η-NTU heat transfer module component simulates the heat exchange between cold and hot fluids, and is connected to the cold side gas component and hot side gas component modules to simulate the pressure drop of the heat exchanger and the changes in the outlet and inlet temperatures.

[0301] Calculation method for the total heat transfer coefficient of the gas-to-gas heat exchanger:

[0302]

[0303] in:

[0304] Rw is the wall thermal resistance;

[0305] K is the overall heat transfer coefficient;

[0306] K1 and K2 are the heat transfer coefficients of the hot and cold sides, respectively, in W / m 2 K;

[0307] F is the total heat transfer area, in m 2 ;

[0308] F1 and F2 are the heat transfer areas of the hot and cold sides, respectively, in m 2 .

[0309] The η-NTU heat transfer unit method model defines the heat exchanger efficiency η between the cold and hot fluids, the number of heat transfer units NTU, and the heat capacity ratio C*. The heat exchanger efficiency represents the ratio of the actual heat transfer Q of the heat exchanger to the theoretical maximum possible heat transfer Qmax.

[0310]

[0311] Qmax in the heat exchanger efficiency definition is the maximum cooling that the hot fluid can achieve when the heat transfer area is assumed to be infinite.

[0312] t1' and t2' refer to the cold and hot side inlet temperatures, respectively;

[0313] t1" and t2" refer to the outlet temperatures of the hot and cold sides, respectively;

[0314] NTU refers to the number of heat transfer units, which is defined as

[0315]

[0316] in:

[0317] KF represents the heat transferred when the average temperature difference of the heat exchanger is 1°C;

[0318] Wmin is the smaller heat capacity of the two fluids.

[0319] Therefore, NTU is an important dimensionless quantity that represents the heat transfer capacity of a heat exchanger. The heat capacity ratio C* is the ratio of the smaller heat capacity Wmin to the larger heat capacity Wmax.

[0320]

[0321] Under certain flow conditions, the size of NTU and C* values ​​directly affects the size of the heat exchanger efficiency η, that is, η is a function of NTU and C*. The plate heat exchanger used in this project belongs to a single-flow cross-flow flow mode in which the two fluids are not mixed, because the cold and hot fluids pass through separate flow channels and do not mix. The efficiency approximate relationship formula proposed by Drake is currently commonly used in engineering calculations as follows:

[0322]

[0323] This formula is simple to calculate and has high accuracy.

[0324] Therefore, the heat transfer rate of the hot and cold sides of the heat exchanger can be calculated by the following formula:

[0325] φ H =ηW min (t 1 '-t 2 ')

[0326] (V) Neural Network Method for Calculating Heat Exchanger Efficiency [Alternative to (IV)]

[0327] In addition to using the NTU method to calculate the heat exchanger efficiency, the heat exchanger efficiency can also be calculated using a neural network method. Neural networks are good at fitting functions. By training neural networks, nonlinear relationships between data can be learned, which can better adapt to complex relationships in actual data, and adaptively adjust parameters to adapt to different data. It has better generalization ability, and can perform parallel calculations on multiple processors at the same time, with fast calculation speed.

[0328] The calculation of heat transfer performance of heat exchangers involves the specific heat capacity, density and thermal conductivity of the heat exchanger tube wall, the specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity, viscosity and density of the fluid, and the saturated vapor pressure and latent heat of vaporization of the fluid when there is a phase change. These physical properties change to varying degrees with temperature, and the calculation iteration process is relatively complicated. In the actual process, the heat exchange area of ​​the heat exchanger with complex structure is difficult to measure accurately. Therefore, in the process of heat exchanger mechanism modeling and design calculation, only the change characteristics of certain specific positions or specific parameters of the heat exchanger are concerned.

[0329] Whether it is heat exchanger design calculation or verification calculation, heat exchanger efficiency is always the key parameter for calculating thermodynamic performance. In the case of existing heat exchanger experimental data, the heat exchange efficiency η that is more accurate and fits the actual situation can be obtained through neural network fitting through the inlet temperature and flow rate of the cold end and hot end of the heat exchanger. Its expression is as follows:

[0330]

[0331] in:

[0332] is the cold side gas mass flow rate;

[0333] is the hot side gas mass flow rate, in kg / s;

[0334] T1 is the cold side gas inlet temperature, in K;

[0335] T2 is the hot side gas inlet temperature, in K.

[0336] (VI) Mathematical model of dual flow control valve

[0337] The dual flow control valve operates in different flow modes depending on the aircraft's flight phase. It also serves as an auxiliary means to prevent fuel / vapor from entering the FTIS from the fuel tank.

[0338] The gas mass accumulation inside the valve is not considered in the mathematical modeling process, and the dual flow control valve is regarded as a local restricted orifice with variable area. When the speed of sound is reached at the orifice restriction, a choked flow will occur. The choked position is adiabatic and no heat exchange occurs with the environment.

[0339] (1) Mass equation

[0340]

[0341] (2) Energy equation

[0342] φ A +φ B =0

[0343] The gas inside the element is adiabatic, and the total enthalpy does not change at the inlet A, outlet B, and orifice restriction:

[0344]

[0345] in:

[0346] hA, hB, hR are the enthalpy values ​​at ports A, B, and R.

[0347] WA, WB, WR are the flow velocities at A, B, and R, in m / s;

[0348]

[0349] in:

[0350] S is the cross-sectional area of ​​ports A and B;

[0351] SR is the cross-sectional area at the restriction, in m2;

[0352] ρ is the density at different positions, in kg / m3.

[0353] The theoretical mass flow rate without non-ideal effects is:

[0354]

[0355] Where: C d is the flow coefficient, which is the ratio of the actual mass flow rate through the restriction to the theoretical mass flow rate.

[0356] (3) Momentum equation

[0357] The pressure difference between ports A and B is the momentum balance based on the contraction of the inlet and restriction areas plus the momentum balance based on the expansion of the outlet and restriction areas.

[0358] Based on laminar flow:

[0359]

[0360] Δp transition =p avg (1-B lam )

[0361]

[0362] Based on the turbulence state:

[0363]

[0364] in:

[0365] △p lam is the pressure difference between ports A and B in the laminar flow state;

[0366] ρR is the density at position R, in kg / m 3 ;

[0367] △p transition is the pressure loss correction factor;

[0368] r is the throttle aperture of the dual flow cut-off valve;

[0369] B lam is the pressure loss correction factor at port B;

[0370] △p AB is the pressure difference between ports A and B;

[0371] p avg is the average pressure between ports A and B;

[0372] p A and p B is the pressure at ports A and B;

[0373] When the flow through the restriction becomes a blocking condition, further flow calculations depend on upstream conditions and are not affected by downstream conditions. For dual flow control valves, the outlets are generally blocked:

[0374]

[0375] Where a is the speed of sound in m / s.

[0376]

[0377] (VII) Method for establishing hollow fiber membrane neural network components

[0378] Hollow fiber membrane is a key component of fuel inerting system, because it generates NEA through engine bleed air or compressed cabin air to inertify the fuel tank. The basic principle of oxygen and nitrogen separation by hollow fiber membrane is that the partial pressure difference of oxygen and nitrogen inside and outside the membrane is different, and the mass transfer rate through the membrane is different, thus achieving the purpose of separation.

[0379] The process is roughly divided into three steps: adsorption, dissolution, diffusion, and desorption. The gas molecules on the raw material side contact the dense membrane surface, adsorb and dissolve on the membrane surface; because of the enrichment of gas molecules, a concentration gradient is generated. Driven by the concentration difference, the gas molecules diffuse in the membrane to the permeation surface and finally desorb. Therefore, the permeability of oxygen and nitrogen on polymer membranes is different, depending on the ability of adsorption, dissolution and diffusion.

[0380] The factors affecting the performance of hollow fiber membrane modules are relatively complex. The accuracy of a single mathematical model is currently unknown, so the table lookup method is usually used for calculation at home and abroad. The established FTIS (fuel inerting system) requires the input of inlet pressure, inlet temperature, outlet NEA flow rate and OEA pressure for the ASM (hollow fiber membrane), and the table lookup is used to obtain the membrane outlet NEA oxygen concentration and inlet air flow value. It can be expressed as:

[0381] x O2 =f(p in ,T in ,p OEA ,m NEA )

[0382] m air =f(p in ,T in ,p OEA ,m NEA )

[0383] x O2 is the NEA oxygen concentration at the membrane outlet, m air is the inlet air flow rate value, p in is the inlet pressure, T in is the inlet temperature, p OEA is the OEA pressure input, m NEA is the export NEA traffic

[0384] However, since the four-dimensional function table lookup in Simulink is relatively complex and the search speed is slow, and the change relationship of the data points given by the experiment requires the use of a more complex nonlinear function model, it has a huge impact on the calculation speed of the ASM model.

[0385] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the field can easily think of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
