M3条件下乙烯燃料超燃冲压发动机空气节流点火试验

在隔离段入口Ma=3(模拟飞行马赫数6.5)条件下,采用乙烯燃料的超燃冲压发动机点火十分困难。为解决该难题,采用了空气节流作为辅助点火措施。基于脉冲燃烧风洞直连式试验平台进行了空气节流点火试验,通过壁面压力测量,获得了节流点火的火焰发展历程。以点火时间为指标,对节流流量、乙烯当量比、节流时间等参数进行了定量分析,节流流量的调节范围为0%~45%,乙烯当量比调节范围为0.6~1.2,节流时间调节范围为190~350ms。分析了三个节流参数各自的作用机理,通过数据拟合,绘制了节流流量与点火时间、乙烯当量比与点火时间的关系曲线,揭示了节流时间与点火时间的关系。      

Experimental research of air-throttling ignition for a scramjet at Ma 6.5

An experimental investigation on ignition characteristics with air-throttling in an ethylene-fueled scramjet under flight Ma 6.5 conditions was conducted.The dynamic process of air-throttling ignition was explored systematically.The influences of throttling parameters,i.e.,throttling mass rate and duration,were investigated.When the throttling mass rate was 45% of the inflow mass rate,ambient ethylene could be ignited reliably.The delay time from ignition to throttling was about 45–55 ms.There was a threshold of throttling duration under a certain throttling mass rate.It was shorter than 100 ms when the throttling mass rate was 45%.While a 45%throttling mass rate would make the shock train propagate upstream to the isolator entry in about10–15 ms,four lower throttling mass rates were tested,including 30%,25%,20%,and 10%.All of these throttling mass rates could ignite ethylene.However,combustion performances varied with them.A higher throttling mass rate made more ethylene combust and produced higher wall pressure.Through these experiments,some aspects of the relationships between ignition,flame stabilization,combustion efficiency,and air-throttling parameters were brought to light.These results could also be a benchmark for CFD validation.
