竖直圆管内浮升力对超临界碳氢燃料裂解传热传质特性的影响

为了探究再生冷却过程中,浮升力对竖直圆管内超临界碳氢燃料裂解传热传质特性的影响,基于详细裂解反应动力学模型,建立了同时考虑碳氢燃料流动传热和裂解吸热的耦合算法,在此基础上对竖直管道内,浮升力对超临界RP-3的流动、传热和裂解反应的影响展开了数值研究。计算结果表明：与不考虑浮升力的情况相比,在浮升力影响显著的条件下,浮升力增强了向下流动的碳氢燃料壁面处与中心流区域的传热传质过程,燃料温度和裂解率的径向分布更加均匀,燃料吸热能力增强,换热系数上升,同时可以有效地抑制管道壁面上结焦的生成;而对于向上流动的流体,浮升力不利于壁面处与中心流区域的传热传质,导致冷却通道内碳氢燃料温度和裂解率径向分布的不均匀性增强,燃料吸热能力降低,换热系数下降,同时增加了管道壁面上的结焦量;同时,为了更好地理解浮升力的影响,本文还对不同壁面热流密度下向上和向下冷却通道内超临界碳氢燃料的裂解传热特性进行了分析;判别式Bo^*<6.0×10^-7不能准确地预测竖直管道内浮升力对超临界碳氢燃料裂解换热的影响。     

超临界碳氢燃料蒸汽重整一维模型研究

为了获得关键参数对超临界碳氢燃料蒸汽重整化学热沉分布特性的影响,建立了超临界碳氢燃料蒸汽重整非稳态一维计算模型,通过与实验数据的对比验证了模型的准确性,并基于该模型采用RP-3的四组分替代模型对RP-3蒸汽重整过程中入口流速、压力和含水量等关键参数对热沉沿流向分布特性的影响进行了研究。结果表明：随着入口流速的增加,蒸汽重整反应化学热沉的峰值减小,且出现峰值的位置逐渐向出口移动。随着压力的升高,相同位置处的化学热沉都减少,但是出现峰值的位置不变。在入口含水量由5%增大到12%的过程中,微通道同一位置处的化学热沉增大,且化学热沉的最大值也是增大的,峰值出现的位置向微通道出口移动。     

The future functionalities of the flight management system

The availability of new Communication, Navigation and Surveillance technologies provides the basis to move towards advanced Air Traffic Management (ATM) concepts. Some of these concepts will impact the airborne Flight Management System (FMS) by introducing new functions with different flight time horizons. In this discussion, two main flight time horizon are defined:The tactical flight time horizon is between 30s and 10mn ahead of the aircraft current position. Airborne separation from traffic, terrain and adverse weather will be introduced in this time horizon as a tactical function.The strategic flight time horizon is more than 10mn ahead of the aircraft current position. Weather datafusion, enroute inflight replanning assistance and air-ground trajectory negotiation will be introduced in this time horizon as strategic functions.The organisation of the associated future flight management system can be synthesised in the scheme (figure 1). The data to be displayed to the pilot for his flight awareness are functions of the flight phase, the type of airspace and of the type of situation encountered.Globally these data can be shared as functions of their flight time horizons, and their topic, as it is described in the table below. In the cells are indicated the flight objects that these data address.SEXTANT as a major avionics manufacturer is leading research and development activities in the area of ATM related airborne flight management functions. Their existing or expected findings are described in this article.     

Similarity solutions for oscillating pointed-nose slender axisymmetric bodies — part I: circular cones

Similarity solutions for pointed-nose slender circular cones performing small-amplitude pitching oscillatons in hypersonic flow at zero angles of attack, are obtained in this paper. A three-dimensional unsteady hypersonic flow perturbation theory found recently by the present author for the pitching oscillations of such bodies is further studied here. It is shown that the equations can be reduced to four sets of boundary-value problems on ordinary differential equations by seeking a perturbation solution in the reduced frequency parameter k. Closed-form simple formulas for the stability derivatives are obtained showing the effect of all the parameters included in the problem except k. The obtained results show good agreement with the few available results.
