Experimental Investigation of Nozzle Effects on Thrust and Inlet Pressure of an Air-breathing Pulse Detonation Engine

Nozzle effects on thrust and inlet pressure of a multi-cycle air-breathing pulse detonation engine (APDE) are investigated experimentally. An APDE with 68 mm in diameter and 2 050 mm in length is operated using gasoline/air mixture. Straight nozzle, converging nozzle, converging-diverging nozzle and diverging nozzle are tested. The results show that thrust augmentation of converging-diverging nozzle, diverging nozzle or straight nozzle is better than that of converging nozzle on the whole. Thrust augmentation of straight nozzle is worse than those of converging-diverging nozzle and diverging nozzle. Thrust augmentations of diverging nozzle with larger expansion ratio and converging-diverging nozzle with larger throat area range from 20% to 40% on tested frequencies and are better than those of congeneric other nozzles respectively. Nozzle effects on inlet pressure are also researched. At each frequency it is indicated that filling pressures and average peak pressures of inlet with diverging nozzle and converging-diverging nozzle with large throat cross section area are higher than those with straight nozzle and converging nozzle. Pressures near thrust wall increase in an increase order from without nozzle, with diverging nozzle, straight nozzle and converging-diverging nozzle to converging nozzle.     

Large-scale Vacuum Vessel Design and Finite Element Analysis

The vacuum plume effects experimental system (PES) is the first experimental system designed to study the effects of vacuum plume in China. The main equipment, a vacuum chamber of 5.5 m in diameter and 12.8 m in length, and structure design of hinged door are described. The finite element method (FEM) is adopted to analyze the static strength and stability of the PES vacuum chamber. It is demonstrated that the static strength and stability are qualified. For the 5.5 m diameter vacuum chamber door, three design schemes are put forward. After comparisons are made, the single-axis-double-pin hinged door is selected. The FEM is applied to checking its static strength as well as distortions. The results show that the door’s distortion and displacement change mainly due to the gravity of the door which leads to its sinking. The calculated displacement is less than 7.8 mm, while the actual measurement is 5 mm. The single-axis-double-pin hinged door mechanism completely satisfies the design requirements. This innovative structure can be introduced as a reference for the design of large-scale hinged doors.

为了研究某膨胀循环氢氧发动机推力室冷却结构流场分布特性,进行了单根冷却通道和完整冷却通道结构的三维CFD分析。仿真计算过程中,以单根通道模型的仿真结果作为完整通道结构模型流场仿真分析的边界条件之一,并考虑了材料物性参数随温度或压力的变化。分析结果表明:1)仿真预测的温升、压降与热试验实测值吻合,该推力室冷却通道流量相对偏差范围为-4.8%~6.6%,由此造成喉部气壁温的环向偏差为33 K;2)集合器管内流体的环向流动压差、法兰起分流或汇聚作用时拐弯效应形成的压力波动是造成冷却通道流量不均匀分布的主要原因,出口集合器内的压力分布对通道流量分布起主要作用;3)提高通道流量均匀性的措施可以从增大出口集合器管径或采用变管径设计、采用扩口型法兰并设置弧形导流片、集合器的进、出口法兰布置在同一环向位置等方面进行考虑。
