Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a heat-resistant tile design method, and in particular to a high-temperature resistant heat-resistant tile with heat regulation and heat management functions and a design method thereof. Background Art
[0002] When an aircraft flies at high speed in the atmosphere, the surface of the aircraft violently compresses the air and causes friction. A large amount of kinetic energy is converted into heat energy, causing the external structure of the aircraft to undergo intense aerodynamic heating, especially the nose cone, wing / rudder leading edge, interference zone and other parts will face severe local high temperature, strong oxidation and strong thermal shock environment. Thermal tiles are an important means of protection to ensure that the aircraft is not damaged when facing intense aerodynamic heating. The development of high temperature resistant, ablation resistant, and reusable thermal tiles is a bottleneck technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in the development of such aircraft. The heat insulation ability of thermal tiles is not only related to the physical and chemical properties of the constituent materials, but also affected by the structural layout plan. The development of new layout plans for thermal tiles is an important way to improve the thermal protection capability and reusability of such aircraft.
[0003] In recent years, the concept of thermal metamaterials has provided new ideas for the design of thermal protection structures. Thermal metamaterials are materials or structures that achieve extraordinary thermal properties that natural materials do not have through artificial microstructure design, such as thermal stealth, thermal aggregation, thermal rotation, etc. The essence of them is to achieve the regulation of heat flow transmission through microstructure design. Thermal metamaterials are an important way to achieve heat flow regulation, and have obtained in-depth theoretical research and experimental verification in the three major heat transfer modes of heat conduction, heat convection and thermal radiation. Traditional thermal protection tiles are mainly composed of an external heat protection layer and an internal thermal insulation layer. The external heat protection layer uses high-temperature resistant materials to achieve heat protection, and the internal thermal insulation layer uses low thermal conductivity materials to achieve heat insulation. Its function is relatively single, and it is difficult to effectively regulate the heat flow in space and time to improve the thermal insulation performance. In order to improve the thermal protection performance of thermal protection tiles, the thermal control idea of thermal metamaterials is introduced into the layout design of aircraft thermal protection tiles for the first time. The airspace and time domain control of the internal heat flow of thermal protection tiles is achieved through microstructure design, so as to reduce local high temperature and reduce thermal shock. Summary of the invention

The outer wall plate and the inner wall plate are made of high-temperature resistant heat-proof materials, which can be high-temperature resistant and ablation-resistant materials such as ultra-high temperature ceramics and ceramic-based composite materials, mainly meeting the requirements of external aerodynamic thermal protection and structural dimensions; the heat-conducting layer and the phase change unit constitute a thermal meta-structure material layer to achieve in-plane directional conduction of heat flow and heat storage and management, wherein the phase change unit is made of phase change latent heat material, which can be inorganic salt, aluminum silicon alloy and other high-temperature phase change materials according to the phase change temperature requirements, and the heat-conducting layer is made of high-thermal conductivity graphite material; the heat-insulating layer is made of insulation felt or aerogel material, which has the characteristics of low density and good heat-insulating performance, so as to achieve efficient heat-insulating function in the thickness direction of the heat-proof tile; the stitched fiber is a high-temperature resistant material such as carbon fiber, silicon dioxide or silicon carbide, and the thermal meta-structure material layer and the heat-insulating layer are connected to form an integral heat-proof tile through the inner and outer wall plates.
[0035] The new heat-resistant tile layout can be seen as Figure 3 The cells shown are arranged periodically in a two-dimensional plane and are obtained by fiber stitching. Therefore, its design parameters are mainly determined by the cell parameters. The specific design method and steps are as follows:
[0036] ① Select the outer wall panel material and design the outer wall panel thickness t according to the aerodynamic thermal environment.
[0037] The outer wall panel is an external heat-resistant component. Depending on the operating temperature, high-temperature resistant materials such as ultra-high temperature ceramics and ceramic-based composites can be selected. Its thickness t is mainly determined by the external aerodynamic thermal environment and ablation conditions, and the value range is generally 3 to 5 mm.
[0038] ② Design the metamaterial layer, select the phase change unit material, and determine the phase change unit diameter d and the thermal conductive layer shape parameters q, p and θ.
[0039] The metamaterial layer is composed of spherical phase change units and a thermal conductive layer matrix, in which the phase change spherical unit is the main heat storage and management component. According to the operating temperature, high-temperature phase change materials such as inorganic salts and aluminum-silicon alloys can be selected. The diameter d is generally in the range of 2 to 4 mm. The thermal conductive layer mainly completes the directional conduction of heat. High thermal conductivity graphite materials with high thermal conductivity are selected. Its thickness q must be greater than d, and the value range is generally 3 to 6 mm. The value range of p is generally 2 to 5 mm, and θ is generally 110° to 130°.
[0040] ③Design the insulation layer, select the insulation layer material, and determine the thickness l.
[0041] The thermal insulation layer is made of materials with low thermal conductivity. Materials with low density and good thermal insulation performance such as thermal insulation felt and aerogel can be selected. The thickness l is determined according to the material properties and the inner wall temperature requirements, and the value range is generally 8 to 30 mm.
[0042] ④Determine the inner wall panel thickness w.
[0043] The inner wall panel needs to be connected to the main load-bearing structure and is generally made of the same material as the outer wall panel. The thickness w is generally in the range of 1 to 3 mm.
[0044] ⑤ Determine the unit cell lattice constants a, b and the number of periods N, M.
[0045] The new heat-resistant tile can be regarded as a periodic arrangement of cells in a two-dimensional plane. The lattice constants a and b must be greater than d, and the value range is generally 4 to 10 mm. The period numbers N and M are determined according to the overall size of the heat-resistant tile. The lengths X and Y of each heat-resistant tile are generally 100 to 200 mm. The period numbers N and M are finally determined (such as Figure 3 shown):
[0046]
[0047] ⑥Finally, use stitching fibers to stitch the inner and outer wall panels with the middle superstructure material layer and the thermal insulation layer to form a whole. The stitching fibers are made of high temperature resistant fiber materials such as carbon fiber, silicon dioxide, and silicon carbide. The stitching method is as follows: Figure 4 shown.
[0048] The present invention can realize directional conduction and storage of heat, and can make the local high heat flow with uneven airspace distribution quickly conduct to the surrounding low-temperature area, effectively alleviate the local high temperature of the heat protection layer, and its maximum surface temperature is reduced by more than 15% compared with the traditional heat protection tile, which greatly improves the heat protection ability of the heat protection tile. In addition, the new heat protection tile also has stronger heat storage and management capabilities. When impacted by time-varying high dynamic heat flow, the phase change unit can suppress the temperature oscillation of the heat protection tile by absorbing or releasing heat through phase change. Compared with the traditional heat protection tile, the steady-state oscillation amplitude is reduced by 47%, which can significantly improve the thermal shock resistance of the heat protection tile. It can be seen that the new heat protection tile greatly improves the thermal regulation ability of the heat protection tile by introducing a thermal metastructure material layer, so that it has more excellent heat protection performance, which is of great engineering significance for solving the local high temperature and thermal shock problems of the aircraft thermal protection system.
