TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to an accelerated aging test method for examining reverse opening life of a double-pulse engine partition, and belongs to the field of double-pulse solid engines. BACKGROUND
[0002] The axial-radial partition type double-pulse solid rocket engine mainly comprises a pulse propellant column, a pulse ignition device, an axial-radial partition, a double-pulse propellant column, a double-pulse ignition device and a nozzle.
[0003] The working principle of the axial-radial partition type double-pulse solid rocket engine is as follows: after receiving an ignition instruction, the engine starts a pulse, and the pulse fuel is exhausted to shut down the engine; during the working period of the pulse combustion chamber, the axial-radial partition must be kept structurally complete; after a certain number of seconds, the double pulse is randomly started through program control, the gas generated by the ignition of the double pulse reversely opens the axial-radial partition, and the double-pulse fuel is exhausted to shut down the engine again. The material, structure form and working mode of the double-pulse engine pulse propellant column and double-pulse propellant column are basically the same as those of a conventional engine, and the service life of the double-pulse engine may be similar to that of the conventional engine.
[0004] However, whether the partition can be normally opened in the designed manner after long-term storage is directly related to whether the double-pulse engine can normally work, especially in the first few seconds of the initial working of the double-pulse combustion chamber. If the axial-radial partition is not opened in the designed manner, too many fragments of the opened axial-radial partition may be generated, which may cause nozzle blockage, result in excessively high pressure in the engine, and further result in explosion. Therefore, the reverse opening performance of the partition after aging needs to be examined. If the reverse opening performance of the partition is examined through natural storage, there are problems of too long test period and high development cost. Therefore, the reverse opening life of the partition needs to be evaluated through the accelerated aging method, which can greatly shorten the test period and development cost.
[0005] Through novelty search, no close related public reports on the accelerated aging test method for examining reverse opening life of a double-pulse engine partition are found in domestic and foreign literatures. SUMMARY
[0006] The technical problem solved by the application is that, aiming at the reverse opening performance problem of the axial-radial partition type double-pulse solid rocket engine partition, an accelerated aging test method for examining reverse opening life of a double-pulse engine partition is provided, and the reverse opening life of the partition can be efficiently, quickly and directly examined.

[0049] The specific implementation is as follows:
[0050] (1) Thermal accelerated aging test of barrier material
[0051] The interlayers of dual-pulse solid rocket motors are typically made of rubber. Research on related materials, both domestically and internationally, indicates that their aging properties conform to the Arrhenius equation. Accelerated aging testing of interlayer materials can be conducted in accordance with the methods outlined in GJB10021-2021, "Accelerated Aging Test Methods for Composite Solid Propellants," or GB / T3512-2001, "Hot Air Accelerated Aging and Heat Resistance Tests for Vulcanized Rubber or Thermoplastic Rubber."
[0052] According to the accelerated test of the interlayer material, the aging model of the sensitive parameter of the isolation material can be obtained to conform to the formula (1). Usually, the sensitive parameter of the isolation material is the elongation.
[0053] K=Ze -E / RT (1)
[0054] Where:
[0055] K——aging rate constant;
[0056] Z——pre-exponential factor;
[0057] E——Aging activation energy J / mol;
[0058] R——molar gas constant J / (K·mol);
[0059] T——aging temperature K;
[0060] Typical operating temperature of the engine T s , then the interlayer material is T s Lower aging rate constant K s Formula (2)
[0061]
[0062] Generally speaking, the lower the temperature, the closer it is to the natural aging mechanism. Therefore, in order to ensure the time, the aging temperature T is selected. a , then the interlayer material is T a Lower aging rate constant K a Formula (3)
[0063]
[0064] The interlayer material is at the aging temperature T a Lower relative operating temperature T s The acceleration coefficient r is formula (4)
[0065]
[0066] (2) Calculate the interlayer acceleration time
[0067] The life of the engine is estimated to be t years, so the life of the interlayer should be no less than t years, so the accelerated time t of the interlayer at the aging temperature T a is formula (5) a
[0068]
[0069] (3) Place the interlayer in a high-temperature incubator for t a , set the incubator temperature to T a , and after completing the thermal accelerated aging test of the interlayer, take it out.
[0070] (4) Determine the thickness L value of the two-pulse true propellant according to the time s when the interlayer is opened and the burning rate r of the two-pulse true propellant; determine the thickness of the two-pulse false propellant according to the inner diameter of the combustion chamber and the thickness L value of the two-pulse true propellant; after the adiabatic layer and the sponge layer are bonded according to the design, install the two-pulse false propellant in the combustion chamber according to the calculated thickness value.
[0071] The thickness L of the two-pulse true propellant is s x r;
[0072] The thickness of the two-pulse false propellant is the inner diameter of the combustion chamber minus the thickness L of the two-pulse true propellant.
[0073] After the two-pulse false propellant is cured, install the two-pulse true propellant, and after the two-pulse true propellant is cured, complete the production, matching of other components of the interlayer reverse opening test engine, and complete the general assembly of the interlayer reverse opening test engine according to the figure. Figure 1
[0074] (5) Carry out ground test of the interlayer reverse opening test engine, during the test, the two-pulse ignition device 2 works, sprays high-temperature and high-pressure gas jet, ignites the two-pulse true propellant 7, until the two-pulse true propellant 7 is completely burned; measure the cavity pressure before and after the opening of the interlayer 8 after the ignition of the two-pulse true propellant through the pressure measuring hole of the one-pulse ignition top cover 1, measure the pressure of the two-pulse true propellant cavity through the through hole on the two-pulse ignition device, according to the change of the cavity pressure measured at the one-pulse pressure measuring hole, obtain the actual opening time of the interlayer, and judge whether the actual opening time of the interlayer after aging meets the requirements.
[0075] If the actual opening time T 实际打开 of the interlayer meets the following conditions, it is considered that the actual opening time of the interlayer after aging meets the requirements:
[0076] T 设计打开 -0.2 < T 实际打开 < T 设计打开 +0.2
[0077] Where T 设计打开 represents the opening time of the interlayer design.
[0078] (6) After the test is completed, the nozzle is detached from the test device, and whether the barrier opens normally according to the predetermined mode after the barrier is aged is judged according to the state of the barrier after the test, and whether the barrier has large fragments is checked. The large fragments refer to fragments with a size not less than the inner diameter of the throat of the nozzle.
[0079] The parts of the present application not described in detail are common knowledge to those skilled in the art.
