TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of mass spectrometry, in particular to a liquid propellant electromagnetic induction heating device for mass spectrometry online sampling and detection. BACKGROUND
[0002] Liquid propellant, as a special kind of high-energy chemical substance, is a key core material for aerospace equipment. It can chemically react in the engine to produce high-temperature and high-pressure gas, convert chemical energy into heat and kinetic energy, and form a certain thrust to drive the target aircraft to complete the intended action. In recent years, green liquid propellant has become an important direction and inevitable trend of aerospace power development to replace traditional toxic hydrazine propellant, so the mechanism research on the decomposition and combustion reaction process of liquid propellant has become a research hotspot.
[0003] New green liquid propellant often contains oxidizing agent, combustion agent, solvent and additive, etc., which is a mixed ionic solution. In actual application, the propellant is introduced into the catalyst bed or high-temperature combustion chamber in the form of microdroplets, directly contacts the catalyst or electromagnetic induction heating coil and rapidly decomposes and combusts, produces high-temperature and high-pressure gas and diffuses out through the tail nozzle to form thrust. The decomposition and combustion process of liquid propellant is studied by using traditional flow tube reactor. In order to make the temperature of the reaction zone reach the target value, the adjacent area is also heated to a relatively high temperature by the heating furnace. The propellant is heated to a higher temperature by the peripheral system before reaching the reaction zone, and the phase change and decomposition reaction occur in the capillary tube in advance, which cannot truly simulate the actual application conditions, and even the problem of component crystallization and plugging of capillary tube occurs.
[0004] In addition, mass spectrometry, especially advanced vacuum photoionization mass spectrometry, can detect reaction intermediates on the basis of breaking the molecular structure, and provide reliable experimental evidence for the mechanism research of chemical reaction process. However, since the decomposition and combustion reaction of liquid propellant is a millisecond-level rapid process, the ordinary mass spectrometer cannot effectively capture the reaction intermediates due to the long time difference caused by the position difference between sampling and detection.
