备注

采用深度过冷等方式对低温推进剂进行致密化,可显著改善其热力学性能,包括密度提升、气液饱和压力降低和显冷量增加等,对减小箭体尺寸和增强低温推进剂应用便利性具有重要促进作用。选取液态甲烷、液氧和液氢3种典型低温推进剂作为研究对象,首先对深度过冷前后的低温推进剂物性参数进行对比,深入了解致密化产生的有益效果; 随后,广泛综述低温推进剂致密化的国内外发展和应用现状,对其技术特征进行归纳和总结; 最后,提出适合我国国情的低温推进剂致密化发展建议,包括开展低温推进剂组合同步致密化、研发高性能真空压缩机以及设计新型加注流程等,以期为我国低温推进剂致密化技术未来发展提供理论参考。
Densification by means of deep supercooling can significantly improve the thermodynamic properties of cryogenic propellants, including increased density, reduced gas-liquid saturation pressure, and increased sensible cooling capacity, which has an important role in reducing the rocket size and enhancing the application convenience of cryogenic propellants. In this paper, three typical cryogenic propellants, liquid methane, liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, were selected as the research objects. Firstly, the physical parameters of the cryogenic propellants before and after deep subcooling were compared to gain an in-depth understanding of the beneficial effects of densification. Then, the development and application status of cryogenic propellant densification at home and abroad were reviewed, and its technical characteristics were summarized. Finally, some suggestions for the development of cryogenic propellant densification suitable for China's national conditions were put forward, including the simultaneous densification of cryogenic propellant combination, the development of high-performance vacuum compressors and the design of new filling process processes, etc.The results canprovide theoretical reference for the future development of cryogenic propellant densification technology.
