TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of engine test, in particular to a liquid droplet evaporation test bench with known flow field parameters. BACKGROUND
[0002] In order to realize more efficient and low-pollution engines, technical measures such as high injection pressure, high supercharging and high back pressure are widely used, so that the in-cylinder temperature and back pressure are close to and exceed the critical point of fuel, which is not a small probability phenomenon, thus making the trans-critical / supercritical spray mixing an unavoidable issue for engines. Under the critical condition, the liquid phase density decreases significantly, and the gas-liquid interface is difficult to identify, and instead, a gas-liquid two-phase mixing layer mainly controlled by diffusion process appears, which is due to the disappearance of liquid surface tension and the increase of gas-liquid interface thickness. Therefore, the disintegration of liquid jet and the formation of mixed gas are no longer controlled by surface tension and aerodynamic instability, but by turbulent diffusion process. At this time, weak disturbance on the gas-liquid interface can have a great influence on the diffusion process of fuel.
[0003] For a long time, the research on trans-critical / supercritical spray has mainly focused on three aspects. One is the evaporation characteristics of single liquid droplet under trans-critical / supercritical conditions; the second is the calculation method of real fluid state equation, thermophysical properties and transport coefficients under trans-critical / supercritical conditions; the third is the stability and evolution process of trans-critical / supercritical jet mixing layer. The existing test methods, such as the main work in the constant volume combustion bomb, are to study the jet situation of the spray, which can provide test data for the above-mentioned second point. However, because the constant volume combustion bomb can only ensure that the flow field environment is approximately static relative to the dynamic process of the spray, but the weak air flow disturbance caused by temperature transfer is difficult to control and measure, and this will cause a large error in the data results due to the characteristics of trans-critical / supercritical spray.
[0004] The weak air flow disturbance is difficult to observe and control, but if a clearly observable air flow environment is artificially provided, the flow field parameters of the air flow can be observed, and the accidental air flow disturbance can be predicted and controlled. In this way, the error and unknown situation in the research results caused by the uncontrolled and unmeasurable weak air flow disturbance determined by the disappearance of liquid surface tension and the increase of gas-liquid interface thickness under trans-critical / supercritical conditions can be reduced, and the evaporation characteristics of single liquid droplet under trans-critical / supercritical conditions can be studied in an environment where the flow field parameters are known. At the same time, because the static droplet tube and the observation column in the present device provide static and dynamic flow field environments respectively, the comparison of the motion state of fuel droplets in the two can study the stability and evolution process of trans-critical / supercritical jet mixing layer. SUMMARY

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood through specific circumstances.
[0059] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.
[0060] In order to realize a more efficient and low-pollution engine, high injection pressure, high supercharging, high back pressure and other technical measures are widely used, so that the in-cylinder temperature and back pressure approach and exceed the critical point of fuel, which is not a small probability phenomenon, so that trans-critical / supercritical spray mixing becomes an unavoidable problem for the engine. In the critical case, the liquid phase density decreases significantly, and the gas-liquid interface is difficult to identify, and instead a gas-liquid two-phase mixing layer mainly controlled by diffusion process appears, which is due to the disappearance of liquid surface tension and the increase of gas-liquid interface thickness. Therefore, the disintegration of liquid jet and the formation of mixed gas are no longer controlled by surface tension and aerodynamic instability, but by turbulent diffusion process. At this time, a weak disturbance on the gas-liquid interface can have a great influence on the diffusion process of the fuel.
[0061] For a long time, the research on trans-critical / super-critical spray mainly focuses on three aspects. The first is the evaporation characteristics of single droplet under trans-critical / super-critical conditions. The second is the calculation method of the state equation, thermophysical properties and transport coefficients of real fluid under trans-critical / super-critical conditions. The third is the stability and evolution process of trans-critical / super-critical jet mixing layer. The existing experimental methods, such as the main work in constant volume bomb, are to study the jet situation of the spray, which can provide experimental data for the second point. However, because the constant volume bomb can only ensure that the flow field environment is approximately static relative to the dynamic process of the spray, but the weak air flow disturbance caused by temperature transfer is difficult to control and measure, and this will cause larger data result error due to the characteristics of trans-critical / super-critical spray.
[0062] The weak air flow disturbance is difficult to observe and control, but if a clearly observable air flow environment is artificially provided, the flow field parameters of the air flow can be observed, and the accidental air flow disturbance can also be predicted and controlled. In this way, the error and unknown situation in the research results caused by the uncontrolled and unmeasurable weak air flow disturbance determined by the disappearance of liquid surface tension and the increase of gas-liquid interface thickness under trans-critical / super-critical conditions can be reduced, and the evaporation characteristics of single droplet under trans-critical / super-critical conditions can be studied in an environment where the flow field parameters are known. At the same time, because the static dropper and the observation column in the device provide static and dynamic flow field environments respectively, the comparison of the motion state of fuel droplets in the two can study the stability and evolution process of trans-critical / super-critical jet mixing layer.
[0063] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a droplet evaporation test bench with known flow field parameters, characterized in that it comprises an observation column 1, which is tightly connected with a vortex chamber 5 through an air inlet filter pipe 2, a transverse flow straightener net 3, a ring flow straightener net 4. An air exhaust valve 6 is installed in the air exhaust hole 521 of the vortex chamber 5. The observation column 1 is tightly connected with an air exhaust filter net 7. A static dropper 8 is installed in the static hole 71 in the center of the air exhaust filter net 7. A fine injection tube 9 is connected with the injection hole 1010 of an automatic injector 10 at one end and connected with the dropper hole 81 of the static dropper 8 at the other end. A plurality of sensor sealing columns 111 are installed in the sealing through slot 11 on the observation column 1, and a sensor 112 is installed in the sensor hole 1120 of the sensor sealing column 111.
[0064] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The vortex chamber 5 is a hollow cylinder with a circular top opening. A square-section air inlet column 53 is tangentially arranged on the cylinder wall of the vortex chamber 5. The air inlet column 53 has a square-section air inlet hole 531, and the inner wall of the air inlet hole 531 is also tangential to the inner wall of the vortex chamber 5. A certain mass flow of air enters the vortex chamber 5 through the air inlet hole 531. In order to provide an orderly and controllable flow field environment in the observation column, the air flow is first made to form a preliminary orderly state, i.e. vortex, in the vortex chamber 5. The bottom center of the vortex chamber 5 is provided with a cylinder, which is an air outlet column 52. The air outlet column 52 is centrally provided with an air outlet hole 521. As shown in Figure 6 , the air outlet valve 6 is a product with the functions of controlling the on-off of air flow and the speed of air flow. The air outlet valve 6 is just placed in the air outlet hole 521 in the center of the air outlet column 52 of the vortex chamber 5. The air outlet valve 6 can discharge a certain mass flow of air out of the vortex chamber 5, so as to control the mass flow of air entering the observation column 1.
[0065] As shown in Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the annular flow straightener 4 is a semispherical sheet with a ring-shaped flat plate at the bottom. When viewed from above, the grid of the annular flow straightener 4 is arranged in an annular distribution. The vortex velocity formed in the vortex chamber 5 presents a radial non-uniform distribution characteristic: the closer to the outside, the greater the air flow velocity, and the closer to the inside, the smaller the air flow velocity. This is the reason why the air outlet column 52 is arranged at the center of the bottom of the vortex chamber 5, because the air flow velocity in the center is the smallest, and the air can be stably discharged without affecting the movement of the vortex. The central axis of the annular flow straightener 4 is coaxially arranged with the central axis of the vortex chamber 5, the semispherical sheet is convex upward, and the ring-shaped flat plate of the annular flow straightener 4 is tightly attached to the top flat plate of the vortex chamber 5. Since the flow velocity is greater near the outside of the vortex chamber 5, the grid of the annular flow straightener 4 is arranged in an annular distribution and in a semispherical shape, so that the flow with a large velocity first contacts the flow straightener at the periphery and changes the velocity distribution, and the flow with a small velocity finally contacts the flow straightener at the center, thereby forming a flow field with uniform velocity distribution along the axial direction.
[0066] As shown in Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, the transverse rectifier net 3 is a semispherical sheet with a ring-shaped flat plate at the bottom. When viewed from above, the transverse rectifier net 3 is arranged with the grids parallel to each other. The axis of the transverse rectifier net 3 is coaxial with the axis of the vortex chamber 5, and the semispherical sheet is convex upward, with the ring-shaped flat plate of the transverse rectifier net 3 abutting the ring-shaped flat plate of the annular rectifier net 4. The airflow from the annular rectifier net 4 is uniformly distributed in the axial direction, but the distribution of the horizontal velocity is chaotic. Since the vortex is larger closer to the periphery, the airflow from the annular rectifier net 4 is more chaotic closer to the periphery. Therefore, the transverse rectifier net 3 is arranged in a semispherical shape with the grids parallel to each other in the transverse direction. The more chaotic the airflow, the earlier it contacts the transverse rectifier net 3, and the earlier and more intense the vortex component in the airflow can be removed, so that the airflow from the transverse rectifier net 3 is also uniformly distributed in the horizontal direction.
[0067] As shown in Figure 13 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 , the air inlet filter tube 2 is a hollow cylinder with an open bottom circular face and a top circular face provided with grids parallel to each other in the transverse direction. The axis of the air inlet filter tube 2 is coaxial with the axis of the vortex chamber 5, and the bottom circular face of the air inlet filter tube 2 abuts the ring-shaped flat plate of the transverse rectifier net 3. The airflow from the transverse rectifier net 3 is further stabilized in the air inlet filter tube 2, with the airflow closer to the periphery taking longer to stabilize. Finally, the airflow is further filtered in the transversely distributed grids, so that the airflow finally entering the observation column 1 can be uniformly and stably distributed in all directions.
[0068] The airflow from the air inlet filter tube 2 into the observation column 1 is uniformly and stably distributed in all directions on the same horizontal plane, with airflow disturbance being minimized. As shown in Figure 16 , Figure 17 and Figure 18 , the observation column 1 is a transparent hollow cylinder with open circular faces on both the top and bottom. A longitudinal square slot is formed in the circular annular face as a sealing groove 11, and longitudinal strip-shaped sealing bosses 13 are provided on the circular faces on both sides of the sealing groove 11. The sealing bosses 13 on both sides are provided with sealing screw holes 131 uniformly in the longitudinal direction, and the positions of the sealing screw holes 131 on the sealing bosses 13 on both sides correspond to each other horizontally. The axis of the observation column 1 is coaxial with the axis of the vortex chamber 5, and the bottom face of the observation column 1 abuts the top face of the air inlet filter tube 2. As shown in Figure 19 and Figure 20As shown, the sensor 112 sealing column 111 is a column with a convex cross section. A through hole 1120 is set in the center of the sensor 112 sealing column 111 along its transverse direction. Through holes 1110 are set in the transverse direction on both sides of the sensor 112 sealing column 111. Several sensor 112 sealing columns 111 fit neatly into the sealing groove 11 and are arranged horizontally and longitudinally from top to bottom. Bolts pass through the sealing through hole 1110 and the sealing screw hole 131 to fasten the sensor 112 sealing column 111 to the observation column 1. Figure 21 As shown, the sensor 112 is a general term for a class of products, including pressure sensors 112, temperature sensors 112, etc., which can measure physical characteristics at corresponding positions in the flow field. The sensor 112 can be placed just in the sensor 112 hole 1120 of the sensor 112 sealing column 111. The measuring end of the sensor 112 is close to the central axis of the vortex chamber 5. The observation column 1, the sensor 112 sealing column 111 and the sensor 112 seal the internal space of the observation column 1. At different positions inside the observation column 1 near the central axis, the local pressure and temperature are measured by the measuring end of the sensor 112. The local density and velocity can be calculated based on the Clapeyron equation and the Bernoulli equation. The mass flow rate of the airflow entering the observation column 1 is known. Therefore, the flow field parameters such as the pressure, temperature, density and velocity of the airflow near the central axis inside the observation column 1 are all known. In this way, a clearly observable airflow environment can be artificially provided, and the flow field parameters of the airflow can be observed. The accidental airflow disturbances can also be predicted and controlled. The evaporation characteristics of a single droplet under transcritical / supercritical conditions can be studied in an environment where the flow field parameters are known.
[0069] like Figure 22 、 Figure 23 and Figure 24 The exhaust filter 7 is a hollow cylinder with an open bottom circular surface and a horizontally distributed grid pattern on the top circular surface. A through hole 71 is provided in the center of the top circular surface. The central axis of the exhaust filter 7 is coaxial with the central axis of the vortex chamber 5, and the bottom surface of the exhaust filter 7 is in close contact with the top surface of the observation column 1. Airflow passing through the observation column 1 flows out of the exhaust filter 7 in a timely manner, avoiding unnecessary disturbance caused by airflow accumulation.
[0070] like Figure 25 As shown, the automatic syringe 10 is a product consisting of a syringe pump and a syringe, which has the function of evenly and slowly pushing a liquid of appropriate mass into the syringe tube 9. There is an injection hole 1010 on the automatic syringe 10. Figure 26 and Figure 27 As shown, the injection tube 9 is a round tube, and its shape is adapted to the test environment. One end of the injection tube 9 is just placed in the dropper hole 81 on the static dropper 8, and the other end is just placed in the injection hole 1010 on the automatic injector 10. Figure 28 andFigure 29 As shown, the static drop tube 8 is a transparent hollow long cylinder, with a bottom circular face opening and a through hole in the center of the top circular face as the drop tube hole 81. The static drop tube 8 can be just put into the static hole 71 on the exhaust filter screen 7, and the bottom face of the static drop tube 8 coincides with the bottom face of the exhaust filter screen 7. A certain mass of fuel drops into the static drop tube 8 from the automatic injector 10 through the injection capillary tube 9, and since the inside of the static drop tube 8 is sealed, it can be considered that the inside of the static drop tube 8 is a static gas environment; when the fuel droplets fall out of the bottom face of the static drop tube 8, which coincides with the bottom face of the exhaust filter screen 7, they begin to be affected by the airflow. The static drop tube 8 and the observation column 1 in the device provide static and dynamic flow field environments respectively, so the comparison of the motion state of the fuel droplets in the two can study the stability and evolution process of the trans-critical / supercritical jet mixing layer.
[0071] The installation method and functional implementation process of the liquid droplet evaporation test bench with known flow field parameters of the present application are as follows:
[0072] The exhaust valve 6 can be just put into the exhaust hole 521 in the center of the exhaust column 52 of the vortex chamber 5.
[0073] The axis of the annular flow straightener 4 is coaxially arranged with the axis of the vortex chamber 5, the semispherical thin plate protrudes upward, and the annular plane plate of the annular flow straightener 4 tightly abuts the top plane of the vortex chamber 5.
[0074] The axis of the transverse flow straightener 3 is coaxially arranged with the axis of the vortex chamber 5, the semispherical thin plate protrudes upward, and the annular plane plate of the transverse flow straightener 3 tightly abuts the annular plane plate of the annular flow straightener 4.
[0075] The axis of the inlet filter tube 2 is coaxially arranged with the axis of the vortex chamber 5, and the bottom circular face of the inlet filter tube 2 tightly abuts the annular plane plate of the transverse flow straightener 3.
[0076] The axis of the observation column 1 is coaxially arranged with the axis of the vortex chamber 5, and the bottom face of the observation column 1 tightly abuts the top face of the inlet filter tube 2.
[0077] The sensor 112 sealing column 111 is just put into the sealing through slot 11, and the sensors 112 are arranged horizontally and longitudinally from top to bottom, and the sensor 112 sealing column 111 is fastened to the observation column 1 by bolts through the sealing through hole 1110 and the sealing screw hole 131.
[0078] The sensor 112 can be just put into the sensor 112 hole 1120 of the sensor 112 sealing column 111, and the measurement end of the sensor 112 is close to the vicinity of the axis of the vortex chamber 5, and the observation column 1, the sensor 112 sealing column 111 and the sensor 112 realize the sealing of the internal space of the observation column 1.
[0079] The axis of the exhaust filter screen 7 is coaxially arranged with the axis of the vortex chamber 5, and the bottom face of the exhaust filter screen 7 tightly abuts the top face of the observation column 1.
[0080] The end of the injection tube 9 is just placed into the dropper hole 81 on the static dropper 8, and the other end is just placed into the injection hole 1010 on the automatic injector 10.
[0081] The static dropper 8 can be just placed into the static hole 71 on the exhaust filter screen 7, and the bottom surface of the static dropper 8 is coincident with the bottom surface of the exhaust filter screen 7. Thus, the installation of the liquid droplet evaporation test bench with known flow field parameters is completed.
[0082] The air with a certain mass flow rate enters the vortex chamber 5 from the air inlet hole 531, and in order to finally provide an orderly and controllable flow field environment in the observation column, the air flow is first made to form a preliminary orderly state, i.e., vortex, in the vortex chamber 5.
[0083] Because the air flow rate in the center of the vortex chamber 5 is the smallest, the air can be stably discharged without affecting the movement of the vortex, so the air discharge column 52 and the exhaust valve 6 are arranged at the center of the bottom of the vortex chamber 5. The exhaust valve 6 is a product with the functions of controlling the on-off of the air flow and the flow rate of the air flow. The exhaust valve 6 can discharge the air with a certain mass flow rate out of the vortex chamber 5, so as to control the mass flow rate of the air finally entering the observation column 1.
[0084] The vortex velocity formed in the vortex chamber 5 presents a radial uneven distribution characteristic: the closer to the outside, the greater the air flow rate, and the closer to the inside, the smaller the air flow rate, so the grid of the annular flow regulating screen 4 is arranged in an annular distribution and in a hemispherical shape, so that the air flow with a large flow rate first contacts the flow regulating screen at the periphery and changes the velocity distribution, and the air flow with a small flow rate finally contacts the flow regulating screen at the center, so as to form a flow field with a uniform velocity distribution in the axial direction.
[0085] The air flow out of the annular flow regulating screen 4 has a uniform velocity distribution in the axial direction, but the velocity distribution in the horizontal direction is chaotic, and because the vortex is greater closer to the periphery, the air flow out of the annular flow regulating screen 4 is more chaotic closer to the periphery, so the transverse flow regulating screen 3 is arranged in a hemispherical shape and the grid is distributed in parallel in the transverse direction, the more chaotic air flow contacts the transverse flow regulating screen 3 earlier, so that the vortex component in the air flow can be removed earlier and more intensively, and the air flow out of the transverse flow regulating screen 3 is also uniformly distributed in the horizontal direction.
[0086] The air flow out of the transverse flow regulating screen 3 is further stabilized in the air inlet filter tube 2, and the air flow closer to the periphery is stabilized for a longer time, and finally further filtered in the transversely distributed grid, so that the air flow finally entering the observation column 1 can be uniformly and stably maintained in all directions.
[0087] The gas flow from the air inlet filter pipe 2 into the observation column 1 is evenly and stably distributed in all directions of the same horizontal plane, and the disturbance of the gas flow is maximally eliminated. The sensor 112 is a general term for a kind of products, including a pressure sensor 112, a temperature sensor 112 and the like, which can measure the physical characteristics at the corresponding position in the flow field. The local pressure and temperature are measured by the measuring end of the sensor 112 at different positions near the central axis inside the observation column 1, and the mass flow of the gas flow into the observation column 1 is known, so the local density and velocity can be calculated according to the Clapeyron equation and the Bernoulli equation, and therefore the flow field parameters such as the pressure, temperature, density and velocity of the gas flow near the central axis inside the observation column 1 are known. Thus an obviously observable gas flow environment can be artificially provided, and the flow field parameters of the gas flow can be observed at this time, the disturbance of the gas flow caused by chance can also be predicted and controlled, and the evaporation characteristics of a single droplet under transcritical / supercritical conditions can be studied in an environment where the flow field parameters are known.
[0088] The gas flow through the observation column 1 is timely discharged from the exhaust filter screen 7, so as to avoid unnecessary disturbance caused by accumulation of the gas flow.
[0089] The automatic injector 10 is a product composed of an injection pump and an injector, and has the function of uniformly and slowly propelling a liquid of proper mass into the injection fine tube 9. The fuel of a certain mass is finally dropped into the static dropper 8 from the automatic injector 10 through the injection fine tube 9, and since the inside of the static dropper 8 is sealed, it can be considered that the inside of the static dropper 8 is a static gas environment; and when the fuel droplet falls out of the bottom surface of the static dropper 8, which coincides with the bottom surface of the exhaust filter screen 7, the fuel droplet begins to be affected by the gas flow. The static dropper 8 and the observation column 1 in the device respectively provide static and dynamic flow field environments, so the comparison of the motion states of the fuel droplet in the two can study the stability and evolution process of the transcritical / supercritical jet mixing layer. Thus the description of the function realization process of the liquid droplet evaporation test bed with known flow field parameters is completed.
[0090] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and the like made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
