Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of rocket engines, relates to a thrust chamber, and particularly relates to a self-diverting tangential hole type cooling annulus structure. Background Art
[0002] The thrust chamber of a liquid rocket engine consists of a combustion chamber and a nozzle. The propellant is converted into high-temperature and high-pressure combustion products in the combustion chamber. For a high-pressure staged combustion cycle engine, the gas temperature can be as high as about 3000K, and the combustion chamber pressure can be as high as 10MPa - 30MPa. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas will generate huge convective heat flux and radiative heat flux, and the maximum heat flux density can be as high as 10MW / m 2 ~160MW / m 2 . Existing engineering materials cannot work properly under such a high heat flux density. In order to avoid ablation of the inner wall of the combustion chamber, the thrust chamber often adopts a cooling scheme that combines regenerative cooling and film cooling.
[0003] During the stable combustion process of the propellant, the flow region in the combustion chamber can be divided into an atomization mixing region, a mixer recirculation region, a combustion region, and a combustion product region. The combustion region is located in the cylindrical section of the combustion chamber. Most of the chemical energy released by combustion is used to heat the combustion products, causing the temperature in this region to jump above 3000K. Without effective cooling measures, the high-temperature gas will ablate the inner wall of the combustion chamber. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a self-diverting tangential hole type cooling annulus structure to solve the technical problem of the complex structure of the combination of regenerative cooling and film cooling in the existing technology.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention is implemented by adopting the following technical solutions:
[0006] A self-diverting tangential hole type cooling annulus structure includes an injector housing and a cylindrical section housing of the combustion chamber. A plurality of fuel inlets are provided on the side wall of the injector housing, and an injector inner bottom that is open at the top and bottom is coaxially arranged inside the injector housing.
[0007] The injector inner bottom includes a coaxial and integrally formed diversion section and an injection section that is axially penetrated inside. The diversion section is located at the lower part of the axial direction of the injection section.
[0008] On the inner wall of the cylindrical section housing of the combustion chamber near the top, a cooling annulus ring cavity is provided. The inner diameter of the cooling annulus ring cavity is larger than the inner diameter of the combustion cavity of the cylindrical section of the combustion chamber. The top surface of the cooling annulus ring cavity is the bottom surface of the diversion section; the bottom surface of the cooling annulus ring cavity is a liquid film horizontal guiding surface. The outer side surface of the cooling annulus ring cavity is located on the cylindrical section housing of the combustion chamber, and the inner side surface of the cooling annulus ring cavity is open to form a cooling annulus ring cavity outlet.
[0009] A plurality of through obliquely tangential holes are formed in the diversion section, and the obliquely tangential holes enable fuel to lead from the fuel inlet to the inside of the cooling annulus cavity.
[0010] A liquid film ramp guiding surface is arranged on the inner side wall of the upper part of the cylindrical section shell of the combustion chamber. The top edge of the liquid film ramp guiding surface is connected to the inner edge of the liquid film horizontal guiding surface; thus, the fuel in the cooling annulus cavity closely flows along the liquid film horizontal guiding surface and the liquid film ramp guiding surface to form a cooling annulus liquid film on the inner side wall of the cylindrical section shell of the combustion chamber.
[0011] The present invention further has the following technical features:
[0012] The inclination direction of the central axis of the obliquely tangential hole is the same as the inclination direction of the liquid film ramp guiding surface.
[0013] The included angle between the central axis of the obliquely tangential hole and the liquid film horizontal guiding surface is 60° - 80°.
[0014] The included angle between the liquid film ramp guiding surface and the liquid film horizontal guiding surface is 70° - 80°.
[0015] The inner diameter of the diversion section is equal to the inner diameter of the injection section, and the outer diameter of the diversion section is greater than the outer diameter of the injection section; the inside of the bottom of the injector is the injector combustion chamber.
[0016] The diversion section is connected to the inner side wall of the injector housing. A regenerative cooling channel is formed between the injection section and the injector housing, and the bottom end of the regenerative cooling channel is communicated with the fuel inlet; the injector combustion chamber is communicated with the cylindrical section combustion chamber inside the cylindrical section shell of the combustion chamber.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects:
[0018] (Ⅰ) The self - shunting tangential - hole - type cooling annulus structure proposed by the present invention is formed by self - shunting of fuel, without the need to separately design the cooling annulus inlet and the cooling annulus cavity, and has a simple structure; by designing the number and diameter of the obliquely tangential holes, the flow resistance of the cooling annulus can be adjusted, and the optimal flow rate ratio of the cooling annulus can be obtained.
[0019] (Ⅱ) The self - shunting tangential - hole - type cooling annulus structure proposed by the present invention is arranged at the docking position of the thrust chamber head and the body. The cooling annulus liquid film can cover the inner wall surface of the cylindrical section of the combustion chamber, effectively cooling the high - temperature combustion area.
[0020] (Ⅲ) The self-diverting tangential hole type cooling annulus structure proposed by the present invention enables the fuel in the cooling annulus cavity to flow closely along the liquid film horizontal guiding surface and the liquid film ramp guiding surface to form a stable swirling flow of the cooling annulus liquid film on the inner side wall of the combustion chamber cylindrical section housing through the liquid film ramp guiding surface and the liquid film horizontal guiding surface. Compared with the direct flow, the swirling flow can increase the residence time of the cooling annulus liquid film on the inner wall surface of the combustion chamber and improve the wall protection effect. The liquid film ramp guiding surface and the liquid film horizontal guiding surface can also make the fuel swirling flow closely adhere to the inner wall surface of the combustion chamber cylindrical section, improving the cooling reliability.
