Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the continuous development of aerospace science and technology, the flight environment of the new generation of aircraft has changed significantly, no longer limited to a single airspace or spacespace, but exhibiting the characteristics of cross-domain flight. Compared with traditional aircraft or spacecraft, the flight environment of aerospace vehicles is complex and variable, with a flight envelope covering a large airspace of 0-100km and a wide speed range of 0-30Ma, and the maximum heat flux density can reach MW / m³. 2 At this level, the pneumatic heating problem is obvious.

[0003] Currently, passive thermal protection technologies such as ablation thermal protection and passive radiation thermal protection are mainly used to address aerodynamic heating problems. Ablation thermal protection absorbs heat through the ablation of the material surface, forming a heat insulation layer that provides cooling and insulation. However, the aerodynamic shape of the aircraft changes after ablation, which is detrimental to the reusability of aerospace vehicles. Passive radiation thermal protection uses advanced heat-resistant materials such as carbon-carbon composites and ceramics to dissipate heat through thermal radiation. However, heat-resistant materials also have a defined temperature limit and cannot cope with extreme heat flow environments on their own. Carbon-carbon composites will oxidize and fail in high-temperature oxidizing environments, and high-temperature resistant materials such as ceramics have high density and brittleness, reducing the payload capacity of the aircraft and making it susceptible to mechanical impact damage.

[0039] In this embodiment, for ease of description, the following description will focus on the thermal management device for identifying aerospace vehicles.

[0040] With the continuous development of aerospace science and technology, the flight environment of the new generation of aircraft has changed significantly, no longer limited to a single airspace or spacespace, but exhibiting the characteristics of cross-domain flight. Compared with traditional aircraft or spacecraft, the flight environment of aerospace vehicles is complex and variable, with a flight envelope covering a large airspace of 0-100km and a wide speed range of 0-30Ma, and the maximum heat flux density can reach MW / m³. 2 At this level, the pneumatic heating problem is obvious.

[0041] Currently, passive thermal protection technologies such as ablation thermal protection and passive radiation thermal protection are mainly used to address aerodynamic heating problems. Ablation thermal protection absorbs heat through the ablation of the material surface, forming a heat insulation layer that provides cooling and insulation. However, the aerodynamic shape of the aircraft changes after ablation, which is detrimental to the reusability of aerospace vehicles. Passive radiation thermal protection uses advanced heat-resistant materials such as carbon-carbon composites and ceramics to dissipate heat through thermal radiation. However, heat-resistant materials also have a defined temperature limit and cannot cope with extreme heat flow environments on their own. Carbon-carbon composites will oxidize and fail in high-temperature oxidizing environments, and high-temperature resistant materials such as ceramics have high density and brittleness, reducing the payload capacity of the aircraft and making it susceptible to mechanical impact damage.

[0042] Therefore, how to reduce the burden of passive thermal protection and improve the thermal protection capability and reusability of aerospace vehicles is an urgent problem that needs to be solved.

[0043] This application provides a solution that forms a heat dissipation circuit using fuel as a coolant through a heat exchanger, a microchannel structure, and fuel pipelines. The fuel coolant in the heat dissipation circuit dissipates heat from the airborne equipment and parts requiring cooling of the spacecraft, achieving active thermal protection for the spacecraft. Simultaneously, the first and second centrifugal pumps are controlled by the temperatures of the first and second fuel coolants to regulate the flow rate of the fuel coolant in the fuel pipelines, thereby actively cooling the high-temperature equipment in the airborne equipment and parts requiring cooling. In other words, the highest temperature equipment is cooled first by controlling the flow rate of the fuel coolant, achieving temperature controllability and temperature gradient arrangement of the entire spacecraft, thereby actively reducing the temperature of the airborne equipment and / or parts requiring cooling, effectively reducing the burden of passive thermal protection, and improving the thermal protection capability and reusability of the spacecraft.

[0044] It should be noted that the executing entity in this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication, and program execution functions, such as a tablet computer, personal computer, or mobile phone, or an electronic device capable of performing the above functions, such as a thermal management device for a spacecraft. The following description uses a thermal management device for a spacecraft as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the subsequent embodiments.

[0045] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a thermal management method for aerospace vehicles, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the thermal management method for aerospace vehicles according to this application.

[0046] In this embodiment, the aerospace vehicle includes onboard equipment, heat dissipation components, fuel lines, a fuel tank, a first centrifugal pump, a second centrifugal pump, and an engine combustion chamber. For example... Figure 2As shown, the airborne equipment includes a first airborne equipment and a second airborne equipment, and the parts to be cooled include the leading edge of the wing and the leading edge of the aircraft. Each airborne equipment is equipped with a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger.

[0047] The airborne equipment refers to the equipment within the spacecraft that requires heat dissipation protection, and this airborne equipment is equipped with a heat exchanger. The areas requiring heat dissipation are the parts of the spacecraft that require heat dissipation protection. These areas are equipped with microchannel structures. Specifically, these areas include, but are not limited to, the leading edge (nose) and wing leading edges of the spacecraft. Multiple areas requiring heat dissipation can be located in locations within the spacecraft where aerodynamic heating is significant. The microchannel structure includes multiple fuel coolant circuits, and the shape of the microchannel structure is adaptively designed according to the shape of the areas requiring heat dissipation. Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The microchannel structure is ring-shaped and has multiple semi-circular fuel coolant circuits. One end of the circuit is the fuel coolant inlet, and the other end is the fuel coolant outlet.

[0048] The fuel line is equipped with a centrifugal pump, which includes a first centrifugal pump and a second centrifugal pump. The first centrifugal pump draws fuel coolant from the fuel tank into the fuel line. The flow rate of fuel coolant drawn into the fuel line can also be adjusted according to the temperature of the airborne equipment and the parts to be cooled.

[0049] The fuel pipeline includes a first pipeline, a second pipeline, and a third pipeline. A second centrifugal pump is disposed on the first pipeline, and each of the first heat exchangers and each microchannel structure is connected to the first pipeline. One end of the second pipeline is connected to the inlet of the fuel tank, and the other end is connected to the inlet pipe of the engine combustion chamber. The first centrifugal pump is disposed on the third pipeline, one end of which is connected to the outlet of the fuel tank, and the other end is connected to the inlet pipe of the engine combustion chamber. The inlet of the second centrifugal pump is connected to the outlet of the first centrifugal pump through the first and third pipelines.

[0050] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the inlet of the second centrifugal pump is connected to the outlet of the first centrifugal pump through the first pipeline and the third pipeline. The outlet of the second centrifugal pump is connected to the inlet of the first heat exchanger corresponding to the first airborne equipment. The outlet of the first heat exchanger corresponding to the first airborne equipment is connected to the inlet of the first heat exchanger corresponding to the second airborne equipment. The outlet of the first heat exchanger corresponding to the second airborne equipment is connected to the inlet of the microchannel structure corresponding to the leading edge of the wing. The inlet of the microchannel structure corresponding to the leading edge of the aircraft is connected to the outlet of the first heat exchanger corresponding to the first airborne equipment. The outlets of the microchannel structure corresponding to the leading edge of the aircraft and the microchannel structure corresponding to the leading edge of the wing are respectively connected to the feed pipe of the engine combustion chamber. The pipeline connecting the second centrifugal pump, the first heat exchanger and the microchannel structure is the second pipeline.

[0051] In the third pipeline, the fuel coolant (fuel) flows into the combustion chamber of the spacecraft's engine through the feed pipe. A portion of the fuel coolant in the second pipeline can also flow into the combustion chamber of the spacecraft's engine through the feed pipe to ensure the normal operation of the spacecraft. The remaining fuel coolant flows back to the fuel tank through the second pipeline.

[0052] Each second heat exchanger is adapted to a corresponding first heat exchanger. The coolant in the second heat exchanger is used to absorb the heat generated by the airborne equipment, and the fuel coolant in the first heat exchanger is used to absorb the heat from the coolant in the second heat exchanger.

[0053] In this embodiment, each airborne device is equipped with two heat exchangers, and the positions of the heat exchangers are rationally set according to the airborne device. Each first heat exchanger and each microchannel structure is connected to a first pipeline to form a heat dissipation loop. Specifically, the inlet and outlet of each first heat exchanger, and the inlet and outlet of each microchannel structure, are connected to the first pipeline. For instance, the inlet of one first heat exchanger is connected to the outlet of a centrifugal pump via the first pipeline, and its outlet is connected to the inlet of another heat exchanger; or the outlet of one first heat exchanger is connected to the inlet of a microchannel structure. Figure 2 As shown, the inlet of the first airborne equipment corresponding to the first heat exchanger is connected to the outlet of the second centrifugal pump through the first pipeline. The outlet is connected to the inlet of the second airborne equipment corresponding to the second heat exchanger and the inlet of the microchannel structure corresponding to the leading edge of the aircraft through the first pipeline. The outlet of the second airborne equipment corresponding to the second heat exchanger is connected to the inlet of the microchannel structure corresponding to the leading edge of the wing through the first pipeline. The outlet of the microchannel structure corresponding to the leading edge of the aircraft and the outlet of the microchannel structure corresponding to the leading edge of the wing are respectively connected to the feed pipe through the first pipeline.

[0054] It should be noted that each second heat exchanger is equipped with an independent coolant, which circulates independently within the second heat exchanger. The position of the second heat exchanger is adapted to the corresponding first heat exchanger. The coolant in the second heat exchanger absorbs the heat generated by the airborne equipment, and the fuel coolant in the first heat exchanger absorbs the heat from the coolant in the second heat exchanger, thereby achieving the cooling of the airborne equipment.

[0055] In one feasible implementation, the fuel line is provided with a multi-port connector; the first line, the second line, the third line and the feed line are respectively connected to the multi-port connector.

[0056] In this embodiment, a multi-port connector is used to divert the fuel coolant in the first pipeline. A portion of the fuel coolant flows into the feed pipe through the multi-port connector and enters the combustion chamber of the aerospace vehicle's engine to ensure the normal operation of the aerospace vehicle. The remaining fuel coolant flows into the second pipeline through the multi-port connector and then flows back to the fuel tank via the second pipeline.

[0057] It should be noted that a controllable opening valve (controllable valve) can also be installed at the fuel tank inlet. This controllable opening valve can be used to regulate the flow rate of fuel returning to the fuel tank through the second pipeline. For example, when there are parts or airborne equipment that urgently need cooling, by reducing the flow rate of fuel returning to the fuel tank through the second pipeline, the rate of temperature rise of the fuel in the fuel tank can be reduced, ensuring that the temperature of the fuel in the fuel tank is lower than the temperature of the parts or airborne equipment that urgently need cooling, so as to effectively cool the parts or airborne equipment that urgently need cooling.

[0058] The thermal management method for the spacecraft includes steps S110~S130:

[0059] Step S110: Real-time acquisition of the first fuel coolant temperature corresponding to each heat exchanger and the second fuel coolant temperature corresponding to each microchannel structure;

[0060] Step S120: Based on the first fuel coolant temperature and the second fuel coolant temperature, determine the first target fuel coolant flow rate at the outlet of the first centrifugal pump and the second target fuel coolant flow rate at the outlet of the second centrifugal pump.

[0061] Step S130: Control the first centrifugal pump based on the first target fuel coolant flow rate and control the second centrifugal pump based on the second target fuel coolant flow rate.

[0062] In this embodiment of the application, during the flight of the spacecraft, the current first fuel coolant temperature of each heat exchanger and the current second fuel coolant temperature of each microchannel structure are acquired in real time. The first fuel coolant temperature can be the temperature at the outlet of each first heat exchanger, and the second fuel coolant temperature can be the temperature at the outlet of each microchannel structure.

[0063] In one feasible implementation, step S110 may include steps A11-A12:

[0064] Step A11: The temperature of the first fuel coolant is obtained in real time through the temperature sensors at the outlets of each first heat exchanger;

[0065] Step A12: The temperature of the second fuel coolant is obtained in real time through the temperature sensors at the outlets of each microchannel structure.

[0066] In this embodiment, temperature sensors are installed at the outlets of each first heat exchanger and at the outlets of each microchannel structure. The temperature of the first fuel coolant is obtained in real time through the temperature sensors at the outlets of each first heat exchanger, and the temperature of the second fuel coolant is obtained in real time through the temperature sensors at the outlets of each microchannel structure. That is, the first fuel coolant temperature is the temperature collected by the temperature sensor at the outlet of the first heat exchanger, and the second fuel coolant temperature is the temperature collected by the temperature sensor at the outlet of the microchannel structure.

[0067] After obtaining the first fuel coolant temperature and the second fuel coolant temperature, the first target fuel coolant flow rate at the outlet of the first centrifugal pump and the second target fuel coolant flow rate at the outlet of the second centrifugal pump are determined based on the first fuel coolant temperature and the second fuel coolant temperature. Specifically, the first target fuel coolant flow rate and the second target fuel coolant flow rate are determined according to the target temperature of each airborne device, the target temperature of each device to be cooled, the first fuel coolant temperature, and the second fuel coolant temperature. The target temperatures of the airborne devices and the devices to be cooled can be reasonably set according to the actual operating conditions.

[0068] Furthermore, in one feasible implementation, step S120 may include steps B11-B12:

[0069] Step B11: Obtain the first target temperature corresponding to each airborne device and the second target temperature corresponding to each part to be cooled.

[0070] Step B12: Based on the first target temperature, the second target temperature, the first fuel coolant temperature, and the second fuel coolant temperature, determine the first target fuel coolant flow rate and the second target fuel coolant flow rate.

[0071] In this embodiment, after obtaining the first fuel coolant temperature and the second fuel coolant temperature, the first target temperature corresponding to each airborne device and the second target temperature corresponding to each part to be cooled are obtained. The first target fuel coolant flow rate and the second target fuel coolant flow rate are then determined based on the first target temperature, the second target temperature, the first fuel coolant temperature, and the second fuel coolant temperature.

[0072] Furthermore, in one feasible implementation, step B12 may include step B121:

[0073] Step B121: Input the first target temperature, the second target temperature, the first fuel coolant temperature, and the second fuel coolant temperature into the state space equation, and determine the first target fuel coolant flow rate and the second target fuel coolant flow rate through the output of the state space equation.

[0074] In this embodiment of the application, the target fuel coolant flow rate is calculated by a pre-set state-space equation, that is, the first target temperature, the second target temperature, the first fuel coolant temperature, and the second fuel coolant temperature are used as inputs to the state-space equation, and the first target fuel coolant flow rate and the second target fuel coolant flow rate are obtained by the output of the state-space equation.

[0075] The derivation of the state-space equations is as follows:

[0076] First, derive the capacitive and resistive equations.

[0077] In a fluid network, the system's actuators first change the head / flow resistance of a certain pipeline. With the node pressure remaining constant, the flow rate of the pipeline will change. The change in flow rate will then affect the pressure at the node, and the change in node pressure will then cause changes in the fluid flow rate of other pipelines. Whether it is a two-node model or a multi-node model, the working principle of the fluid dynamics layer is the same.

[0078] To qualitatively and quantitatively study fluid networks, two types of equations are needed to describe the fluid's properties: capacitive equations and resistive equations. Capacitive equations describe the relationship between pressure changes and flow rates at fluid nodes, while resistive equations describe the relationship between pressure changes and flow rates in a pipeline. These two types of equations can comprehensively describe the fluid's dynamic processes. For ease of understanding, this embodiment uses a two-node model as an example to illustrate the pressure-flow dynamic characteristics.

[0079] The derivation of the capacitive equation is as follows:

[0080] The compression equation for a compressible fluid is:

[0081] ;

[0082] in, E The bulk modulus of a compressible fluid. P The pressure of a compressible fluid. V The volume of the compressible fluid.

[0083] When there is Q=dV / dt When fuel of a certain volumetric flow rate passes through the cavity, the rate of change of cavity pressure is:

[0084] ;

[0085] in, Q This represents the volumetric flow rate of the fuel coolant.

[0086] Since flow rate is divided into input flow rate and output flow rate, and mass flow rate is usually used, the capacitive equation is:

[0087] ;

[0088] in, q in For input traffic, q out To output flow, ρ This refers to the density of the fuel coolant.

[0089] The derivation of the resistive equation is based on the fact that the pressure difference across the pipe is equal to the flow resistance lost in the pipe. Specifically, the resistive equation can be expressed as:

[0090] ;

[0091] in, P The pressure difference of the fuel coolant in the pipeline, The flow resistance equation for the pipeline is as follows: It is related to the viscosity and friction of the fluid.

[0092] Then, a thermodynamic model is constructed based on the two-node fluid network, and the state-space equations of the thermodynamic model are derived based on the derived capacitive and resistive equations.

[0093] For fluid models of two-node fluid networks, such as Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 This is a simplified schematic diagram of a fluid model for a two-node fluid network. The model includes a fluid source (fuel tank) Res1., a centrifugal pump, a first pipe with volume V1, and a second pipe with volume V2, all connected sequentially. The first and second pipes have different volumes, primarily to describe the pressure and flow rate changes in the pipes following the centrifugal pump. Fuel flows from the fluid source (fuel tank) Res1., passes through a centrifugal pump, enters the first pipe with volume V1, and then enters the second pipe with volume V2. Therefore, the capacitive equation for the two-node fluid network is:

[0094] ;

[0095] in, The inflow volume is V The rate of change of fuel coolant pressure in pipeline 1. The inflow volume is V The rate of change of fuel coolant pressure in pipeline 2, The inflow volume is V The change in the flow rate of the fuel coolant in pipeline 1. The inflow volume is V The change in the flow rate of the fuel coolant in pipeline 2. The engine's fuel consumption is also the outflow volume of... VThe change in the flow rate of fuel coolant in pipeline 2.

[0096] The state-space equation of the capacitive equation of a two-node fluid network can be specifically expressed as:

[0097] ;

[0098] The resistive equations of a two-node fluid network can be expressed as:

[0099] ;

[0100] Linearizing the resistance equations of a two-node fluid network, the resulting linearized resistance equations can be expressed as follows:

[0101] ;

[0102] in, P 0 represents the fuel tank pressure. P 1 represents the pressure at the first pipe. P 2 represents the pressure at the second pipe. P 0 represents the pressure increment at the centrifugal pump. P 1 represents the pressure increment at the first pipe. P 2 represents the pressure increment at the second pipe. n s For the pump speed increment, n s This refers to the rotational speed of the centrifugal pump. The flow rate of fuel coolant at the outlet of the centrifugal pump. The inflow volume is V The flow rate of fuel coolant in pipeline 2.

[0103] The polynomial fitting coefficients are the first pipeline resistance function. The polynomial fitting coefficients are the coefficients for the second pipeline resistance function. b 11 , b 12 , b 13 , b 14 , b 15 , b 16 These are the polynomial fitting coefficients for the centrifugal pump. The pipeline resistance function is obtained by data fitting, and its coefficients are determined by factors such as material type and surface smoothness.

[0104] Solving the linearized resistive equation, we get:

[0105] ;

[0106] Furthermore, the state-space equation of the resistive equation of a two-node fluid network can be expressed as:

[0107] ;

[0108] ;

[0109] in, β 11 , β 12 , β 21 All parameters are custom parameters.

[0110] By combining the state-space equations of the capacitive and resistive equations of a two-node fluid network, we can obtain the state-space equation of the two-node fluid network, the specific formula of which is as follows:

[0111] ;

[0112] The state-space equation of a two-node fluid network has two state variables, indicating that the number of state variables corresponds to the number of nodes or volumetric modules in the system.
