Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a method for determining the critical safe diameter of emulsion droplets in a liquid energetic material synthesis reaction conveying pipeline. BACKGROUND

[0002] Liquid energetic materials are widely used in military and civilian fields, but in the production process, due to the uncontrollable purity of raw materials and the fast synthesis reaction speed, the generated emulsion products are extremely susceptible to environmental conditions, and the emulsion products are dispersed and suspended in the form of droplets in the acid ester emulsion, and in the pipeline transportation process, the emulsion droplets will collide with each other, gradually coagulate and settle with the increase of the conveying distance and time, and start the self-catalytic reaction and heat accumulation and temperature rise, and once the self-catalytic speed exceeds a certain critical safety threshold, the reaction system temperature will rise sharply and explosion will occur. Therefore, the research on the critical safe diameter of emulsion droplets in the liquid energetic material synthesis reaction conveying pipeline is a hot issue in the industry.

[0003] Some domestic scholars have carried out partial research and discussion on the friction and collision explosion problem of energetic materials, and have developed a test method for the friction sensitivity and impact sensitivity of energetic materials. In the invention patent with the patent number 202010705274.6, a friction sensitivity test device and method are disclosed, which comprehensively establishes a test environment by using a sample loading system, an explosion chamber, a pendulum mechanism, a temperature and humidity control system, a pressure loading system and a rack, obtains the friction sensitivity data of the explosive according to the friction reaction of the explosive under different temperature, humidity, speed and pressure conditions; in the invention patent with the patent number 202010925198.X, a method and device for characterizing the friction sensitivity of insensitive single-element explosives are disclosed, the test sample is laid on the friction plate, the friction column is vertically pressed to tightly contact the test sample, a fixed load is applied as the loading pressure, and according to the established lifting method test calculation mode, the friction sensitivity value of the insensitive single-element explosive is obtained according to the ignition condition of the test sample in the friction process; in the invention patent with the patent number 202310727384.6, a friction sensitivity test device under thermal coupling is disclosed, which is integrated by a temperature control module, an electrostatic workbench, a friction sensitivity device and a data acquisition and processing module, and obtains the friction sensitivity data according to the friction reaction of the energetic material under thermal coupling; in the utility model patent with the patent number 202221397684.X, a friction sensitivity tester is disclosed, which is integrated by a working base, a function frame, a friction assembly, a hitting assembly, a supporting frame and a swinging assembly, and obtains the friction sensitivity of the measured substance by using an automatic test process according to the physical reaction of the measured substance in the friction process.

[0004] From the above, the current friction, impact sensitivity test device and method of energetic materials research results are remarkable, but its research and test objects mainly focus on solid and shaped energetic materials. However, the synthesis of many energetic materials is completed in liquid phase, and the emulsion droplets formed during the reaction process have the characteristics of flammability and explosiveness. The size of the droplets determines the possibility of the characteristics being excited. On the other hand, the synthesis of energetic materials at this stage is completed in the synthesizer, and the emulsion after synthesis is dispersed and moved in the acid ester emulsion. The collision and friction between the droplets and the pipe, container wall and the droplets are intensified, and the emulsion droplets are more likely to be excited. Therefore, determining the critical safety diameter of the emulsion droplets in the conveying pipeline is a hot issue that needs to be solved in the industry. SUMMARY
