Solid-liquid hybrid propulsion plays an important role in space propulsion system.The thermal entropy of liquid engine fuel is lower than solid powder fuel.In order to improve the endurance of rocket or missile,the strategy of solid-liquid hybrid combustion was adopted,which could improve the thermal entropy of engine fuel and increase the endurance of engine.A solid-liquid fuel pump was designed based on numerical simulation and experimental research.According to the principle of gear engagement,the tooth shape of the key structure twin-screw was modified,and the three-dimensional model and simulation model of the flow channel were established.Based on the design of tooth shape,the integrated design of the solid-liquid mixed fuel supply system was carried out around the uniform and variable proportion transportation of solid-liquid.Further,the processing,assembly and debugging of the whole machine were completed,the experimental platform was built,and the hydraulic testing system was established for experiment.The results show that the design of the two-phase flow pump realized the mixed transportation of solid-liquid two-phase materials,as well as met the well-mixed requirements of variable flow rate,variable proportion and variable outlet pressure.This small fuel pump can achieve solid-liquid well-mixed with outlet flow within 30~600L/h,outlet pressure within 0~900kPa and solid-liquid mixing ratio within 0%~10%,which could provide reference for designing variable thrust rocket engine.
