Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of high-temperature solid material emissivity measurement, and in particular to a high-temperature solid material emissivity measurement method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The emissivity of the surface of a high-temperature solid material is an important parameter for measuring its thermal radiation capability, and directly affects the accuracy of heat transfer analysis, energy conversion and temperature measurement. In the fields of aerospace, energy and power, and steel metallurgy, it is crucial to accurately measure the emissivity of high-temperature (greater than 500℃) solid materials.

[0003] There are several existing methods for measuring the emissivity of high-temperature solid materials: first, the sample is heated from the back, and the thermal radiation energy of the front surface of the sample is measured. Since the front surface of the sample is exposed to the air, it dissipates heat to the air, so the temperature of the front surface of the sample is lower than that of the back surface. Especially for non-metallic solid materials such as ceramic materials, the thermal conductivity is poor, and the temperature difference between the front and back surfaces of the sample will be large. Second, the front and back surfaces of the sample are heated, and a test hole is reserved in the middle of the heating device. The temperature in the area where the test hole is located is higher than the air temperature, which dissipates heat to the air, also causing the temperature inside the sample to be uneven. Although the heating device is wrapped with thermal insulation material, the temperature on the side of the thermal insulation material facing the air will be higher than the air temperature, and the thermal radiation generated will be superimposed on the thermal radiation energy emitted by the sample, interfering with the accuracy of the thermal radiation measurement and causing large measurement errors. Moreover, the thermal radiation from the side edges of the test hole will be reflected to the radiometer by the sample, causing measurement errors.

[0004] The existing technical solutions in the above have the following defects: when measuring the emissivity of high-temperature solid materials using the existing high-temperature solid material emissivity measurement methods, the measurement error is large. SUMMARY

[0025] The following will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings Figures 1-2 The application will be further described in detail.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the application discloses a method for measuring the emissivity of a high-temperature solid material, which comprises: S1. A first test sample 200 is made of a test solid material.

[0027] S2. The first test sample 200 is placed on a sample support 130 in the middle of the hearth 111 of the box-type electric furnace 110.

[0028] It should be noted that the whole furnace 111 is made of the same material, and the temperature of the inner wall of the whole furnace 111 is consistent when heated, and the temperature distribution in the furnace 111 is uniform. The first sample 200 is in the middle of the furnace 111, which realizes the purpose of simultaneous heating of the front and back, and is beneficial to the uniform distribution of the internal temperature of the first sample 200. At the same time, the heat loss is reduced, and the upper limit of the temperature of the first sample 200 is improved.

[0029] S3. The temperature of the furnace 111 and the first sample 200 is raised to T1 and maintained for a predetermined time.

[0030] It should be noted that when the temperature of the furnace 111 and the first sample 200 is raised to T1, it is maintained for more than 5 minutes to make the first sample 200 and the furnace 111 in a thermal equilibrium state.

[0031] S4. The temperature of the first sample 200 is measured using an infrared thermometer 120.

[0032] In this step, the emissivity of the infrared thermometer 120 is adjusted so that the brightness temperature T2 displayed on the infrared thermometer 120 is equal to T1, and the apparent emissivity value of the infrared thermometer 120 is recorded as ε1; according to the working principle of the infrared thermometer 120, it can be known that: Wherein, ε S is the emissivity of the solid material to be measured, c1 is the first radiation constant, λ is the wavelength, c2 is the second radiation constant, T1 is the temperature in the furnace 111, T2 is the brightness temperature displayed on the infrared thermometer 120, F is the share of the outcoming radiation of the inner wall of the furnace 111 that can reach the surface of the first sample 200, ε f is the emissivity of the material used in the furnace 111, the first term on the left side of formula (1) represents the thermal radiation energy of the first sample 200 at temperature T1 and wavelength λ, and the second term on the left side represents the thermal radiation energy of the outcoming radiation of the inner wall of the furnace 111 at temperature T1 and wavelength λ that is reflected by the surface of the first sample 200.

[0033] Since T1=T2, formula (1) can be simplified as: ε s +F(1-ε s )ε f =ε1 (2) S5. The second sample is made of the material used in the furnace 111.

[0034] S6. The second sample is placed in the middle of the furnace 111.

[0035] It should be noted that the second sample to be tested is in the middle of the furnace 111, which realizes the purpose of heating the front and back at the same time, and is beneficial to the uniform distribution of the internal temperature of the second sample to be tested. At the same time, the heat loss is reduced, and the upper limit of the temperature of the second sample to be tested is improved.

[0036] S7. The temperature of the furnace 111 and the second sample to be tested is raised to T1, and maintained for a preset time.

[0037] It should be pointed out that when the temperature of the furnace 111 and the second sample to be tested is raised to T1, it is maintained for more than 5 minutes, so that the second sample to be tested and the furnace 111 are in a state of thermal equilibrium.

[0038] S8. The temperature of the second sample to be tested is measured by using the infrared thermometer 120.

[0039] In this step, the emissivity of the infrared thermometer 120 is adjusted, so that the brightness temperature T2 displayed on the infrared thermometer 120 is equal to T1, and the apparent emissivity value of the infrared thermometer 120 is recorded as ε2; according to the working principle of the infrared thermometer 120, it can be known that: Where c1 is the first radiation constant, λ is the wavelength, c2 is the second radiation constant, T1 is the temperature in the furnace 111, T2 is the brightness temperature displayed on the infrared thermometer 120, F ’ is the share of the outcoming radiation of the inner wall of the furnace 111 that can reach the surface of the second sample to be tested, ε f is the emissivity of the material used by the furnace 111. The first term on the left side of formula (2) represents the thermal radiation energy of the second sample to be tested at temperature T1 and wavelength λ, and the second term on the left side represents the thermal radiation energy of the outcoming radiation of the inner wall of the furnace 111 at temperature T1 and wavelength λ, which is reflected by the surface of the second sample to be tested.

[0040] Since T1=T2, formula (2) can be simplified as: ε f +F′(1-ε f )ε f =ε2 (4) The shape and size of the first sample to be tested 200 and the second sample to be tested are the same, and it is deduced that F=F′=1-F 12 (5) Where F 12 is the shape factor of the area of one side of the first sample to be tested 200 / second sample to be tested to the area of the test hole 112.

[0041] Wherein, r1 is the radius of the first sample 200 / the second sample, r2 is the radius of the test hole 112. m is the distance between the surface of the first sample 200 / the second sample and the test hole 112.

[0042] R1 can be calculated by formula (8), R2 can be calculated by formula (9), X can be calculated by formula (7), and F can be calculated by formula (6) 12 , and then F and F can be calculated by formula (5) ’ , and then the emissivity ε of the material of the furnace 111 can be calculated by formula (4) f , and then the emissivity ε of the solid material to be measured can be calculated by formula (2) s .

[0043] By using the above measurement method, the internal temperature distribution of the first sample 200 and the second sample is uniform, and the heat loss is reduced, so that the first sample 200 and the second sample can be heated to a higher test temperature (above 1500℃). By using the given algorithm, the influence of the reflection of the inner wall of the furnace 111 on the measurement result is eliminated, and the influence of the thermal radiation of the edge of the test hole 112 on the measurement result is eliminated, so that the measured emissivity of the high-temperature solid material to be measured is closer to the true reflectivity, and the measurement error is reduced. At the same time, the operation is simple, the structure of the device for measuring the emissivity of the high-temperature solid material is simplified, and there is no need to additionally install a cold plate or a shielding cover to isolate the furnace 111, and there is no need to additionally set a standard blackbody furnace as a reference, so that the requirements for the test conditions and the test cost are reduced. The reliability of the measurement is higher, and the measurement can be widely applied to the measurement of the emissivity of high-temperature solid materials in the fields of energy power, aerospace, etc.

[0044] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , the box-type electric furnace 110 is provided with a test hole 112 on one side close to the infrared temperature measuring instrument 120. The box-type electric furnace 110 is provided with a thermocouple 113 for observing the temperature in the furnace. The first sample 200, the second sample, and the test hole 112 are circular. The diameter of the test hole 112 is 20mm, 25mm, or 30mm. The diameter of the first sample 200 is the same as that of the second sample, and is 10%-20% larger than the diameter of the test hole 112. In this way, the measurement accuracy is improved. The distance between the surface of the first sample 200 / the second sample and the test hole 112 is m. The distance between the side of the box-type electric furnace 110 provided with the test hole 112 and the opposite side is n. m / n=1 / 3-1 / 2. This is beneficial to the uniformity of the internal temperature distribution of the first sample 200 and the second sample, reduces the heat loss, and is beneficial to the first sample 200 and the second sample being heated to a higher test temperature.

[0045] In one embodiment, the lens of the infrared thermometer 120, the center of the test hole 112 and the center of the first sample to be tested 200 are aligned in step S4. In step S8, the lens of the infrared thermometer 120, the center of the test hole 112 and the center of the second sample to be tested are aligned. In this way, the measurement accuracy is improved. In steps S3 and S7, the first preset flow of protective gas is continuously introduced into the furnace 111. In steps S4 and S8, the second preset flow of protective gas is continuously introduced into the furnace 111. The protective gas can be nitrogen, argon, etc., which can effectively prevent the high-temperature solid material from being oxidized, and ensure the accuracy of the measurement. The second preset flow should be less than the first preset flow, reducing the heat carried away by the flowing protective gas during measurement, and avoiding uneven temperature distribution inside the furnace 111.

[0046] In one embodiment, before step S1, the sample support 130 for supporting and fixing the first sample to be tested 200 / second sample to be tested is installed in the furnace 111, so as to support and fix the first sample to be tested 200 / second sample to be tested.

[0047] The implementation principle of the embodiment is: by using the above measurement method, the internal temperature distribution of the first sample to be tested 200 and the second sample to be tested is uniform, and the heat loss is reduced, so that the first sample to be tested 200 and the second sample to be tested can be heated to a higher test temperature. By using the given algorithm, the influence of the reflected radiation of the furnace 111 on the measurement result is eliminated, and the influence of the edge thermal radiation of the test hole 112 on the measurement result is also eliminated, so that the measured emissivity of the high-temperature solid material to be tested is closer to the true reflectivity, and the measurement error is reduced. At the same time, the operation is relatively simple, the structure of the device used for measuring the emissivity of the high-temperature solid material is simplified, and there is no need to additionally install a cold plate or a shielding cover to isolate the furnace 111, and there is no need to set a standard blackbody furnace as a reference, thereby reducing the requirements for the test conditions and the test cost. The measurement is more reliable, and can be widely applied to the measurement of the emissivity of high-temperature solid materials in the fields of energy power, aerospace, etc.

[0048] The embodiments of the specific implementation are the preferred embodiments of the present application, but do not limit the protection scope of the present application, so that: any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
