Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sweating cooling test and measurement, and more particularly to an integrated testing device for sweating cooling flow and heat transfer characteristics of porous materials. Background Art

[0002] The history of aircraft development is only a little over a hundred years, but it has continuously pushed human civilization to new heights. With the further development of hypersonic aircraft, flight speeds and durations will be further increased, and aerodynamic thermal problems will become more serious, requiring aircraft to operate stably for long periods of time in high-enthalpy environments. Therefore, advanced thermal protection technology is a research direction that urgently needs breakthroughs. Thermal protection technology can be divided into three types: passive, semi-passive, and active. Among them, active thermal protection mainly relies on cooling fluids to remove and isolate heat to protect the structure. Compared with passive / semi-passive thermal protection, active thermal protection has the characteristics of strong cooling capacity, ability to withstand long-term heating of high-density heat flux, closed-loop temperature control, and reusability. Active thermal protection solutions mainly include convection cooling, film cooling, and sweat cooling.

[0003] The principles of transpiration cooling are similar to those of film cooling. The difference lies in the form of the coolant channel. Transpiration cooling enters the mainstream through a porous structure, forming a continuous membrane protective wall to block or delay the entry of heat flow. At the same time, the coolant heat sink can also absorb a large amount of heat and take it away.

[0004] However, the thermal protection of the test device in the prior art cannot effectively isolate heat transfer, so that the temperature of the cooling medium is disturbed before entering the porous material, thereby affecting the measurement accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
