Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermal insulation performance testing technology for thermal protection materials, and in particular to a device and method for accurately predicting the thermal insulation performance of thermal protection materials under an electric arc wind tunnel environment. Background Technology

[0002] Fiber-reinforced aerogel insulation materials are widely used in thermal insulation applications for satellites and other aerospace vehicles. These materials exhibit high out-of-plane thermal insulation efficiency and high in-plane thermal conductivity. Especially noteworthy are novel high-efficiency insulation materials with added in-plane thermal conductivity, which show an even greater difference between in-plane and out-of-plane thermal conductivity (the thermal conductivity of in-plane thermally conductive materials is 10...). 2 Wm -1 .K -1 Accurate and reliable thermal insulation performance data is crucial for the design of thermal protection solutions.

[0003] The convection heating method in electric arc wind tunnel testing is similar to that in flight testing. However, the wind tunnel test specimen is smaller in size and is placed in a water-cooled fixture. The high out-of-plane thermal insulation and high in-plane conductivity characteristics will exacerbate heat loss through the water-cooled fixture. Therefore, traditional wind tunnel testing methods cannot accurately characterize thermal insulation performance. Summary of the Invention

The thickness of the outer contour surface of the metal frame is inconsistent in two directions. The width along the airflow direction of the wind tunnel is 15mm and the width perpendicular to the airflow direction is 5mm.

[0009] Furthermore, the low emissivity film has the same dimensions as the U-shaped metal backplate.

[0010] Furthermore, the grooved thermal insulation aerogel has grooves, and the inner contour of the grooves of the grooved thermal insulation aerogel is the same as that of the grooves of the high-efficiency thermal insulation aerogel.

[0011] According to another aspect of the present invention, a method for accurately predicting the thermal insulation performance of thermal protection materials in an electric arc wind tunnel environment is provided. This method uses the device described above for accurately predicting the thermal insulation performance of thermal protection materials in an electric arc wind tunnel environment to accurately predict the thermal insulation performance.

[0012] Furthermore, the method for accurately predicting the thermal insulation performance of thermal protection materials under an electric arc wind tunnel environment includes: using an electric arc wind tunnel to simulate the heating of the test specimen in a real flight environment, and constructing a near-one-dimensional thermal insulation test device for the test specimen. The surface temperature of the test specimen is obtained through non-contact temperature measurement. Temperature sensors are arranged at the center ring of the U-shaped metal backplate and the center position of the high-efficiency thermal insulation aerogel to obtain temperature data under near-one-dimensional thermal insulation conditions at the center.

[0037] To gain a further understanding of the present invention, the following description is provided in conjunction with... Figures 1 to 7 The present invention provides a detailed description of the device and method for accurately predicting the thermal insulation performance of thermal protection materials in an electric arc wind tunnel environment.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present invention aims to provide a method for accurately predicting the thermal insulation performance of thermal protection materials in an electric arc wind tunnel environment, in order to solve the problem that the existing technology cannot meet the requirement of accurately predicting the thermal insulation performance of thermal protection materials in an electric arc wind tunnel environment.

[0039] The technical method used in this invention is as follows:

[0040] This invention discloses a device for accurately predicting the thermal insulation performance of thermal protection materials under an electric arc wind tunnel environment. The device includes: simulating a real flight environment by heating a test specimen in an electric arc wind tunnel, constructing a near-one-dimensional thermal insulation test device for the test specimen, acquiring accurate temperature data, and obtaining accurate thermal insulation performance through inverse identification. The near-one-dimensional thermal insulation test device includes a test specimen, a U-shaped metal backplate, a high-efficiency thermal insulation aerogel, a low-emissivity film, and a grooved thermal insulation aerogel. Compared to previous test schemes, this device can effectively acquire back temperature data under near-one-dimensional thermal insulation conditions under real load environments, and the accuracy of the material's thermal conductivity obtained through inverse identification based on this data is within 10%.

[0041] The method for predicting thermal insulation performance is based on near-one-dimensional adiabatic temperature data, obtained through inverse identification. By rationally designing the test device, a near-one-dimensional adiabatic boundary condition at the center of the test specimen is constructed to ensure accurate acquisition of the thermal insulation performance of the thermal protection material.

[0042] The outermost layer of the test apparatus is a water-cooled fixture, and the inner layer, from the hot side to the cold side, consists of the test piece, a U-shaped metal back plate, a high-efficiency thermal insulation aerogel, a low emissivity film, and a grooved thermal insulation aerogel.

[0043] The first layer is test specimen 1: the anisotropic thermal protection material has a large difference in in-plane and out-of-plane thermal conductivity, especially for in-plane thermally conductive thermal protection materials, where the difference in in-plane and out-of-plane thermal conductivity is more than twice. To suppress in-plane heat leakage, a test specimen design larger than the wind tunnel nozzle size is adopted. The nozzle size is 160mm, and the test specimen design is 200mm×200mm. In particular, for the test specimen of the in-plane thermally conductive thermal protection material, a high thermal conductivity thermally conductive layer 11 is arranged only in the uniformly heated area (approximately 150mm×150mm) to suppress the influence of the edge water-cooling fixture on the center temperature. The thermally conductive layer is evenly distributed inside the test specimen, and the specific number of layers is determined according to the condition of the test specimen. The remaining areas are made of traditional thermal protection materials (e.g., aerogel) to avoid contact between the high thermal conductivity layer and the water-cooling fixture.

[0044] The second layer is a "U-shaped" metal backplate (numbered 21), bonded to the back of the test specimen. The backplate has at least five rings, with a minimum spacing of 1mm between each ring. Each ring is filled with high-efficiency thermal insulation aerogel 23 or flexible felt. The thickness of the backplate is determined based on the surface temperature and heat leakage of the test specimen. For 800℃ wind tunnel testing, the metal backplate thickness is 10mm; for 1200℃ wind tunnel testing, the thickness is 18mm. It is recommended that the distance between the "U-shaped" metal backplate and the water-cooling fixture 5 be at least 20mm. An aerogel thermal insulation pad 24 is used for insulation between the "U-shaped" metal backplate and the water-cooling fixture. On the outermost side of the "U-shaped" metal backplate, away from the test specimen, another ring of metal plate 22 is arranged to reduce the impact of downward heat transfer from the non-thermal conduction area at the edge on the temperature of the central area.

[0045] The third layer is a high-efficiency thermal insulation aerogel 3. A ring of metal frame 31 is arranged on the outer area, with its inner contour 1 mm away from the outer contour of the second layer's "U-shaped" metal back plate to avoid contact with the second layer's metal back plate. The thickness of the metal plate 31 is inconsistent in two directions on the outer contour surface, with a width of 15 mm along the airflow direction of the wind tunnel and a width of 5 mm perpendicular to the airflow direction. A groove 32a, 5 mm wide and 2 mm deep, is machined at the center line of the upper layer of the high-efficiency thermal insulation aerogel (near the test specimen side), and a through hole 32b is machined at the center position for arranging a temperature sensor. A low-emissivity film 33 is attached to the bottom of the high-efficiency thermal insulation aerogel (away from the test specimen side), with the same film size as the outer contour of the second layer's "U-shaped" metal back plate.

[0046] The fourth layer is a grooved high-efficiency thermal insulation aerogel 41. The inner contour of the groove 41a is the same as the inner contour of the third layer metal plate, and the thickness at the bottom (away from the test piece) is 5mm.

[0047] The surface temperature of the test specimen was obtained through non-contact temperature measurement. Temperature sensors were placed at the center ring of the second layer "U-shaped" metal back plate and the center of the third layer of high-efficiency thermal insulation aerogel to obtain temperature data under near one-dimensional thermal insulation conditions. The equivalent thermal conductivity of the thermal protection material under the current load was obtained by back temperature data identification.

[0048] In summary, this invention provides a device for accurately predicting the thermal insulation performance of thermal protection materials under an electric arc wind tunnel environment. This device utilizes an electric arc wind tunnel to simulate a real flight environment to heat the test specimen and constructs a near-one-dimensional thermal insulation test device for the specimen. Accurate temperature data is obtained, and accurate thermal insulation performance is acquired through inverse identification. This method achieves accurate prediction of the thermal insulation performance of thermal protection materials under an electric arc wind tunnel environment. It solves the problems of existing technologies where heating methods cannot simulate real flight environments, test schemes suffer from heat leakage, and accurate and reliable thermal insulation performance data cannot be obtained.

[0049] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures.
