Experimental study on dynamic behavior of mechanically pumped two-phase loop with a novel accumulator in simulated space environment

Mechanically pumped two-phase loop (MPTL) which is a prominent two-phase heat transfer technology presents a promising prospect in thermal control for space payload. However, transient behavior of MPTL caused by phase-change and heat sources load-on/off in simulated space environment is rarely reported. In the present study, one MPTL setup was designed and constructed, and experimentally studied. Particularly, a novel two-phase thermally-controlled accumulator integrated with passive cooling measure and three capillary structures was designed as the temperature-control device. Dynamic behavior of the start-up, temperature control, and temperature adjustment were monitored; meanwhile, thermodynamic behavior within the proposed accumulator, the operating behavior as well as the heat and mass transfer behavior between the main loop and the accumulator were revealed. The results show that the fluid management function of the capillary structures for the novel accumulator is verified. The working point of the MPTL system can be adjusted by changing the temperature control point of the accumulator and it is little influenced by external heat flux and heat sources on/off. Pressure-drop oscillations which are manifested as fluctuations of temperature and pressure can be observed after phase changing due to the compressible volume within the accumulator and the negative-slope portion of the internal pressure.     

A Review of the Attachment Line Instability for Hybrid Laminar Flow Control

This paper focuses on the investigation of the attachment line instability for Hybrid Laminar Flow Control （HLFC）, one of the most promising drag reduction technologies for modern transport aircraft respect to high Reynolds numbers and large sweep angles. The attachment line instability also plays an important role during laminar turbulent transition control and HLFC design on a swept wing. The overview of historical research is presented and knowledge gaps are pointed out as the conclusion.     

氢气添加对RP-3航空煤油燃烧特性的影响

为了阐明氢气添加对国产RP-3航空煤油燃烧特性的影响，在定容燃烧反应器中实验测量了初始压力为0.1MPa、初始温度分别为390，420K、当量比范围为0.8～1.5时RP-3航空煤油/氢气混合气的层流燃烧速度与马克斯坦长度，分析了掺氢比对火焰发展结构、层流燃烧速度及马克斯坦长度的影响.结果表明:随着掺氢比的提高，在火焰发展过程中，火焰前锋面逐渐出现裂纹或褶皱，火焰的不稳定性逐渐增强；随着混合气当量比或掺氢比的升高，RP-3航空煤油/氢气混合气的马克斯坦长度逐渐减小；当混合气当量比从0.8升高至1.5时，RP-3航空煤油/氢气混合气的层流燃烧速度呈现先增加后降低的趋势，当量比为1.2时混合气的层流燃烧速度达到最大；同时，随着初始温度或掺氢比的升高，RP-3航空煤油/氢气混合气的层流燃烧速度逐渐升高。      

含气率对液力透平影响的非定常分析

为了研究含气率对液力透平内部压力的影响，以比转速为84.5的单级单吸离心泵反转作液力透平并对其内部流场进行CFD瞬态数值模拟，获得了气体在液力透平内的分布规律以及气液两相介质下透平内部流场的压力脉动变化规律。结果表明:从蜗壳进口到叶轮出口,含气率逐渐增加，含气率等于0.2时蜗壳出口、叶轮进口气体的尾迹效应明显，分布不够均匀。叶轮出口有气体聚集现象，气体体积分数越高，聚集现象越明显。进口含气率对透平蜗壳、叶轮内各点的相对压力分布影响明显，各点的相对压力随着透平进口含气率增加而降低。含气率小于0.05时其对透平内各监测点的压力脉动主频幅值影响不大，含气率大于0.05后其对液力透平内各监测点的压力脉动主频幅值有影响，含气率越高，压力脉动主频幅值越小。不同含气率下液力透平蜗壳周向、径向以及叶轮内的压力脉动主频均等于叶轮叶片的转动频率。
