基于500 Hz OH-PLIF技术的超声速燃烧室火焰结构

针对超声速燃烧室火焰驻留时间短和高湍流度的特点,利用500 Hz高频OH-PLIF(planar laser induced fluorescence)技术,研究了氢燃料超声速燃烧室火焰结构,结合壁面压力,获得了点火、稳焰以及熄火过程的规律。结果表明:隔离段入口来流马赫数为2的情况下,氢气当量比0.1和0.3,在火花塞点火下,2 ms均能点燃并获得PLIF火焰图像,其中当量比为0.1凹槽内存在爆燃现象,火焰达到稳定燃烧状态较慢(约65 ms)。稳焰过程中,当量比为0.3燃烧相对不充分,燃烧区域更靠近下壁面,燃烧位置和火核位置变化较大。当量比为0.1和0.3,熄火时间均在6 ms内,其中当量比为0.1熄火时火焰是从凹腔中部传播到凹腔前缘位置熄灭并伴随有一个短暂火焰增强的过程,并且在传播至凹腔前缘时已接近熄灭,当量比为0.3在熄灭前则是慢慢变弱,最终在凹腔前缘至喷氢位置间熄灭。

Experimental Studies on Fuel Spray Characteristics of Pressure-Swirl Atomizer and Air-Blast Atomizer

In this work,the effects of fuel temperatures and pressure drops on the flow field and spray characteristics of a pressure-swirl atomizer were discussed using the Particle Imaging Velocimetry(PIV),Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence(PLIF)and Laser Particle Size Analyzer(LPSA)methods.Then the air-blast atomizer was selected to study the interaction of initial atomization and flow field.The effect of fuel-air ratio on the air-blast atomizer were also considered,where the fuel-air ratio was varied by adjusting mass flow rate of the air and fuel respectively.The results show that the spray angle of the pressure-swirl atomizer increases first and changes a little after the pressure drop higher than 0.5 MPa.However,more fuel concentrate on the central region,which is mainly caused by the increase of the proportion of small droplets with lower centrifugal force.The fuel temperature can improve the spray angle only in lower pressure drop,and it has a little effect under higher pressure drops.In addition,the fuel pressure drop has an obvious influence on the fuel distribution and flow field near the nozzle exit compared with the downstream.For the air-blast atomizer,the spray angle increases compared with the pressure-swirl atomizer for the introduction of swirl air.Furthermore,the spray angle decreases with the air mass rate increasing,and it increases with the fuel mass rate increasing.The distribution of velocity and droplet near the nozzle exit is influenced by the air mass rate,and the fuel mass rate mainly affects the distribution in the downstream.The fuel accumulates in the annular area below the nozzle,and the distribution of it changes little with the development along the axial direction.

Experimental study of hypervapotron under conditions of high heat flux

In the light of the needs to develop high-performance heat transfer component for nation-level large-scale scientific projects of China,a hypervapotron experimental platform with supply of heat flux 1 10 MW m-2 was established.With this platform,the multiphase flow and heat transfer phenomena on the surface of triangular fin when the subcooled water flowed through were observed and measured with the planar laser induced fluorescence(PLIF) and high-speed photography techniques.The temperature contour on the slice plane of fin symmetry was measured and the heat flux contour was processed based on gradient computation.It is confirmed that:1) PLIF with high-speed photography is very powerful technique to investigate the multiphase flow of hypervapotron quantitatively;2) evaporation is the primary way in heat transfer mechanism of hypervapotron flow under the condition of high heat flux.The techniques and results obtained will provide useful reference in the R&D of hypervapotron technology in China.

Effects of H_2/CO/CH_4 syngas composition variation on the NO_x and CO emission characteristics in a partially-premixed gas turbine combustor

This paper reports the effects of variations in the fuel composition of H_2/CO/CH_4 syngas on the characteristics of NO_x and CO emissions in a partially-premixed gas turbine combustor. Combustion tests were conducted on a full range of fuel compositions by varying each component gas from 0% to 100% at heat inputs of 40 and 50 k Wth. Flame temperature, combustor liner temperature, ignition delay time, and flame structure were investigated computationally and experimentally to judge whether they are significant indicators of NO_x and CO formation. The characteristics of and reasons for NO_x and CO emissions were investigated by analyzing the emission mechanisms and relationships among fuel property, equivalence ratio, flame temperature, liner temperature, flame shape. The flame structures were investigated using the following flame visualization methods:(1) time-averaged OH* chemiluminescence and its Abel-deconvolution;(2) direct photography; and(3) instantaneous OH-PLIF. The flame structures were greatly changed by the fuel composition and heat input, and they were subjected to key affecting parameters of the temperatures of the flames and the liners. NO_x and CO emissions also largely varied according to fuel composition and heat input, showing neither linearly nor exponentially clear proportional trends toward the syngas compositions because of the singular conditions. For example, only the 100% CO flame at low load emitted lots of CO, whereas complete combustion was observed in other cases. However, the qualitative observations showed that the root causes of NO_x emission behaviors were flame temperature and flame structure, which were directly related to the residence time in the flame. Various sets of practical test results were obtained, and these results could contribute to the optimal selection of the fuel-feeding condition when fuel is changed from natural gas to syngas in order to minimize NO_x and CO emissions with stable combustion.
