备注

氧化亚氮基单元复合推进剂是一种新型、高能、无毒的单组元推进剂,具有广阔的应用前景。开展了氧化亚氮/乙烯推进剂在室压0.7 MPa和1.0 MPa条件下、混合比6.2~10.6范围内的预混燃烧特性试验,获得了混合比、燃烧室特征长度等对特征速度和燃烧效率的影响规律。试验结果表明:当量孔径为65 μm、厚度为5 mm的不锈钢多孔材料具有良好的防回火效果,所有试验工况均未发生燃烧室回火现象; N2O/C2H4推进剂的理论特征速度和试验特征速度均随着混合比的增大而减小,最高燃烧效率达到了95.0%; 随着燃烧室特征长度的不断增大,燃烧效率先增大后减小,对所试验的特定喷注器结构的铜热沉模型燃烧室来说,最佳的燃烧室特征长度在1.675 m左右。

Nitrous-oxide-based composite mono-propellant is a new, non-toxic, mono-propellant with high performance and broad application prospects.A series of premixed combustion tests with N2O/C2H4 propellants were carried out, covering the mixture ratio range of 6.2~10.6 at the chamber pressure of 0.7 MPa and 1.0 MPa.The effects of the mixture ratio and the combustion chamber characteristic length on the characteristic velocity and the combustion efficiency were obtained.The results showed that, the anti-flashback effect of stainless steel porous materials with the equivalent pore diameter of 65 μm and the thickness of 5 mm was so good that no flashback occurred in all combustion tests.The theoretical and measured characteristic velocity decreased with the increase of the mixture ratio.The maximum combustion efficiency was 95.0%.As the combustion chamber characteristic length increased, the combustion efficiency increased first and then decreased.For the model combustion chamber studied in this paper, the best combustion chamber characteristic length was about 1.675m.
