Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of thermal protection material performance evaluation, and particularly relates to a C / SiC nozzle ablation prediction method based on diffusion dynamics and scouring rate function. BACKGROUND

[0002] Three-dimensional woven C / SiC composite material becomes a widely used material for C / SiC nozzle due to its excellent mechanical properties and thermal protection ablation resistance, and often needs to withstand high-temperature, high-speed gas flow scouring and ablation, which puts extremely strict requirements on the performance of the nozzle material. Under the ablation scouring environment of high-temperature gas, a dense SiO2 oxide film is formed on the surface of C / SiC, which hinders the diffusion of oxygen to the reaction wall, thereby delaying the ablation of the nozzle. However, under the action of high-speed gas flow, the ablation surface of C / SiC composite material shows obvious mechanical spalling behavior, and the spalling products are splashed outward under the action of gas flow. The spalling behavior of the material may present two forms of block spalling and fiber spalling. In addition, under the action of high-temperature high-speed gas flow, the distribution of the molten oxide layer will be affected, thereby further affecting the thermal chemical reaction on the surface of the material. This process is closely related to the viscosity of the molten material on the coating, substrate and fiber. Therefore, for the C / SiC composite material nozzle, the oxide film layer makes the nozzle have excellent ablation resistance, but the generation and dissipation mechanism of the oxide layer under the scouring and ablation of high-speed gas flow is difficult to quantitatively analyze, which greatly increases the difficulty of ablation performance analysis and morphology prediction of the nozzle.

[0003] The existing research usually ignores the influence of the generation and ablation influence mechanism of the molten oxide layer and the influence of carbon fiber spalling on oxidation ablation under the scouring and ablation of high-speed gas flow. In the calculation of the oxidation ablation of C / SiC composite material, there is a lack of quantitative analysis of the oxide layer generated by the activity oxidation of SiC and oxygen and separated from the material surface under the impact of high-speed gas flow. However, under the working environment of low temperature and high pressure of the nozzle, a large amount of oxide film is generated and covers the surface of the nozzle. Under the scouring and ablation of high-speed gas flow, the transient influence of the oxide film on the oxidation ablation rate of the nozzle cannot be ignored. If the influence of the oxide film on the ablation is ignored, it will be found that the chemical reaction rate of the material surface quickly reaches equilibrium, and the ablation recession amount will be much larger than the actual one, and thus the prediction accuracy of the ablation shape cannot be met.

[0004] In summary, the existing C / SiC composite material oxidation ablation model cannot accurately analyze the ablation scouring performance of C / SiC nozzle in the high-temperature high-speed gas flow environment, and cannot consider the mass loss caused by the combined action of oxide layer erosion and carbon fiber spalling, so as to accurately predict the ablation shape change of the nozzle. SUMMARY

The present application considers the multi-scale coupling effect of oxidation ablation and gas erosion, realizes the high-temperature ablation performance and morphology prediction of C / SiC nozzle.

[0101] (1) Based on diffusion dynamics, the solubility of oxidizing gas in SiO2 oxide film is obtained:

[0102] SiC coating will be rapidly oxidized in high temperature and high speed gas flow environment and form a dense oxide film on the surface, hinder the further oxidation of the coating, and then the oxidizing gas needs to go through many processes to reach the surface of the coating to continue to oxidize the SiC coating. O2, water vapor is first dissolved on the surface of SiO2 oxide film, and the dissolution process follows Henry's law:

[0103]

[0104] In the formula, is the solubility of O2 or water vapor on the surface of SiO2 oxide film, and the subscript represents O2 or water vapor; is the gas wall pressure of O2 or water vapor, is the Henry constant, which is affected by temperature, and the specific value needs to be determined by experiment, so the solubility of O2 or water vapor on the surface of SiO2 oxide film is also a function of surface temperature.

[0105] (2) Obtain the ablation performance parameters of the nozzle:

[0106] After O2 or water vapor is dissolved in SiO2 oxide film, it diffuses to the reaction wall through SiO2 oxide film, and the diffusion process can be represented by Fick's diffusion law:

[0107]

[0108] In the formula, is the diffusion coefficient, which is also a function of temperature; is the thickness of SiO2 oxide film.

[0109] According to the reaction formula of oxygen and SiC and Fick's law, we have:

[0110]

[0111] Substituting the initial conditions and integrating, the mass of SiO2 generated by the reaction of the material with oxygen can be obtained:

[0112]

[0113] In the formula, is the current oxide film thickness, is the time step, is the amount of increase in SiO2 oxide film thickness caused by oxygen in the time length, is the molar mass of SiO2, , are the diffusion coefficient and solubility of oxygen in SiO2 oxide film, respectively, is the density of SiO2 oxide film, is the in The quality of SiO2 oxidation film generated by the reaction between SiC coating and oxygen in time t; since the newly generated SiO2 in the ablation process will increase the thickness of the oxidation film, therefore cannot be too long, so in the examples 0.01 s is taken.

[0114] According to the chemical reaction formula, 1 mol of SiO2 is generated for every 1 mol of SiC consumed. Therefore, in time t, the mass loss of SiC coating per unit area caused by oxidation ablation is:

[0115]

[0116] In the formula, is In time t, the mass of SiC coating consumed by the reaction with oxygen, is the molar mass of SiC.

[0117] The reaction between water vapor and SiC coating is similar to the oxidation reaction between oxygen and SiC coating. By analogy with the derivation process described above, the mass changes of SiO2 and SiC caused by the SiC-H2O thermochemical reaction are:

[0118]

[0119]

[0120] In the formula, subscript H2O represents parameters related to water vapor, and the physical meaning is consistent with the parameters of oxygen described above.

[0121] The carbon fiber and oxygen undergo an oxidation reaction to generate CO, and the reaction rate factor can be expressed in the Arrhenius form:

[0122]

[0123] In the formula, is the carbon-oxygen reaction rate constant (m / s), is the reaction activation energy (J / mol), is the gas constant (J / (mol·K)), is the wall temperature (K), then The mass loss of carbon fiber per unit area in time t is:

[0124]

[0125] In the formula, is the molar mass of carbon fiber.

[0126] The mass change of C / SiC composites in the process of high-temperature and high-speed gas flow ablation and erosion is composed of three parts, i.e., the mass change of SiC coating , , the mass change of SiO2 oxidation film , and the mass change of carbon fiber . Therefore, the mass response control equation of three-dimensional braided C / SiC composites in the process of oxidation ablation is:

[0127]

[0128] In the equation, is the mass loss of three-dimensional braided C / SiC composites in the process of oxidation ablation .

[0129] Finally, the linear ablation rate of C / SiC composites , the linear ablation rate of carbon fiber is:

[0130]

[0131]

[0132] (3) According to the ablation criterion, it is judged whether the SiO2 oxidation film and the carbon fiber are mechanically ablated or not; the mass loss caused by ablation is obtained based on the erosion rate function;

[0133] The spalling stress of SiO2 oxidation film is taken as the failure criterion, i.e., when the gas flow impact force is greater than the spalling stress of the SiO2 oxidation film on the surface of C / SiC composites, the material is ablated. The strength of the oxidation film degrades with temperature and heating time during the ablation process, and is related to the oxidation ablation degree of the material, the shape of the pore structure, thermal deformation, thermal stress and other factors. Based on the thermochemical ablation rate, the gas flow pressure distribution and the characteristics of the material itself, the mechanical erosion ablation rate of C / SiC composites can be expressed as:

[0134]

[0135] In the equation, is the mechanical erosion ablation rate, is the correlation coefficient of the bonding strength of the SiO2 oxidation film, is the gas flow impact force, is the spalling stress of the SiO2 oxidation film.

[0136] The carbon fiber is broken under the shear of the gas flow, thereby causing the ablation of the carbon fiber. The relationship between the mechanical ablation rate of the carbon fiber and the ablation mass flow rate and the volume fraction of the fiber phase is:

[0137]

[0138] wherein, is the linear ablation rate of the carbon fiber monofilament along the axial direction of the carbon fiber monofilament, is the mechanical denudation rate of the carbon fiber, is the density of the carbon fiber monofilament.

[0139] The mechanical denudation rate of the carbon fiber can be expressed as:
