Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a liquid rocket engine nozzle atomization test apparatus and method, and in particular to a liquid rocket engine nozzle atomization test apparatus and method with the capability of high-frequency rapid pressure measurement under back pressure environment. Background Technology
[0002] Nozzles are widely used in cryogenic bicomponent liquid rocket engines. The interaction between the gas and liquid phases causes droplets to detach from the liquid surface, enhancing combustion efficiency. However, when the gas-liquid two-phase flow system is disturbed, flow instability may occur. This is often assessed by measuring the high-frequency, rapidly varying pressure in the nozzle head cavity to detect pressure fluctuations during nozzle atomization tests.
[0003] Traditionally, liquid rocket engine nozzles are tested in ambient temperature environments. A few, requiring back pressure, are tested by installing the nozzle inside a pressure-reversing chamber, creating a back-pressure environment to more realistically simulate the nozzle's operation. Pressure measurement in back-pressure spray tests is mostly done indirectly, through pressure-measuring ports pre-installed on the pressure-reversing chamber. However, this method is susceptible to interference from the pressure-sensing pipe, affecting the accuracy of the test results.
[0004] To address this, this patent designs a split-type gas-liquid two-phase atomization test fixture. By applying a pre-tightening force, multiple seals are achieved, providing the nozzle with a dual-path gas-liquid medium supply capability. Through the design of the sensor sealing chamber, a high-frequency velocity pressure sensor is sealed inside the reverse pressure chamber, and the high-frequency rapid change sensor signal line is led out through a metal hose, ultimately realizing the direct measurement of the nozzle's high-frequency rapid change pressure in a reverse pressure environment. Currently, there is no similar lightweight and versatile device in China capable of direct pressure measurement in a reverse pressure environment. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a liquid rocket engine nozzle atomization test device and method with the capability of high-frequency rapid change pressure measurement in a reverse pressure environment.
