正癸烷/甲苯/甲基环己烷火焰传播速度实验研究

由于实验系统中燃料与氧化剂预混气制备和工况维持稳定存在较大的难度,目前国内外针对大分子液态碳氢燃料火焰传播速度的实验测量结果的报道依旧不多。为此建立了一个针对液体燃料的对冲火焰实验台,并在该实验台上测量了正癸烷、甲苯、甲基环己烷等三种煤油代表性替代燃料与空气预混气的火焰传播速度。测量结果表明,在一个大气压下,初始温度为388K的甲苯/空气预混火焰、初始温度378K的正癸烷/空气和甲基环己烷/空气预混火焰的最大火焰传播速度分别为52.4cm/s,64.2cm/s,58.3cm/s。     

Numerical investigation of pyrolysis effects on heat transfer characteristics and flow resistance of n-decane under supercritical pressure

Pyrolysis of hydrocarbon fuel plays an important role in the regenerative cooling process. In this article, a Two-Dimensional (2D) numerical model is proposed to investigate the pyrolysis effects on the heat transfer characteristics and flow resistance of n-decane under supercritical pressure. The one-step global pyrolytic reaction mechanism consisting of 19 species is adopted to simulate the pyrolysis process of n-decane. The thermophysical and transport properties of the fluid mixture are computed and incorporated into the numerical model for simulation. Comparisons between the current predictions and the open published experimental data are carried out and good agreement is achieved. In order to better understand the complicated physicochemical process, further investigations on the turbulent flow and heat transfer coupled with pyrolysis in a tube have been performed under various operating conditions. The results indicate that the pyrolysis intensively takes place in the high fluid temperature region. The occurrence of the heat transfer deterioration would lead to increasing n-decane conversion at the beginning of the heated section. It is found that the pyrolysis could improve the heat transfer deterioration and promote the heat transfer enhancement. Meanwhile, pyrolysis gives rise to an abrupt increase of flow resistance. The mechanisms of the physicochemical phenomena are also analyzed in a systematic manner, which would be very helpful in the development of the regenerative cooling technology.     

面向超燃数值模拟的正癸烷高温骨架机理

为了得到一个适用于超声速燃烧模拟的小规模正癸烷骨架机理，以现有的正癸烷燃烧机理（S709）为基础，通过机理简化和参数对比优化的方法，构建了包含27个物种和105个反应的高温骨架机理（S27）。在温度（T：1000–2000 K）、压力（p：0.1–0.3 MPa）、当量比（Φ：0.5–1.5）的超燃典型工况范围内，通过Chemkin-Pro软件计算了S27对于层流火焰速度、点火延迟时间、熄火拉伸率的预测值，在0.1 MPa富燃条件（Φ=1.7）下，计算了主要物种浓度分布，并与文献正癸烷骨架机理（S40，S96）、S709的模拟值和实验数据进行对比，以验证机理的合理性。结果表明S27的计算结果与文献实验数据和S709结果吻合良好。通过研究S27在高温条件下含C物种的反应途径以及影响层流火焰速度的关键反应，进一步证明了S27的合理性。相较于S709及其他正癸烷骨架机理，S27极大地提升了计算效率，展现了此机理应用于超燃流场数值模拟的良好前景。
