项目摘要

A numerical simulation scheme was developed to disclose the unsteady evaporation and combustion processes of a single fuel droplet immersed in an otherwise quiescent gas at a various ambient gas state beyond the critical point of the fuel, which is necessary for the design of rocket motors and high speed Diesel engines. This study was carried out, based on the author's previous theoretical work on supercritical droplet combustion wherein it was found that the transition from sub- to supercritical evaporation regime can take place only if the binary diffusion coefficient relevant vanishes at the liquid gas interface in a mixture critical condition, an expression for the diffusion coefficient which satisfies this condition was proposed and the asymptotic transition feature was revealed on an analytical basis.The condition under which the droplet experiences the transition during its lifetime was identified in terms of ambient gas temperature and pressure. Other important knowledge obtained is as follows. Consistent with experimental results no singular behavior is observed in the droplet surface temperature at the transition. The core characterized by high fuel concentration preserves the liquid-like property even after the droplet has lost its liquid-gas interface. Since continuous phase change takes place in a thin layer, usual optical observation will give images as if there still exists the droplet with surface. Once the core is about to disappear, the concentration as well as the central temperature changes abruptly to assume the gaseous state. The transition is achieved far more quickly in the presence of flame which is located closer to the droplet at higher pressure. The transition epochs the change from vaporization- to diffusion-controlled combustion, accompanying an increase in flame temperature.

开发了一种数值模拟方案，以揭示浸没在超过燃料临界点的各种环境气体状态下的静止气体中的单个燃料滴的不稳定蒸发和燃烧过程，这对于火箭发动机和高能发动机的设计是必要的。速度柴油发动机。这项研究是基于作者之前关于超临界液滴燃烧的理论工作进行的，其中发现只有当混合物中液气界面处相关的二元扩散系数消失时，才能发生从亚临界蒸发状态到超临界蒸发状态的转变提出了满足该条件的扩散系数表达式，并在分析的基础上揭示了渐近转变特征。根据环境气体温度和压力确定了液滴在其寿命期间经历转变的条件。获得的其他重要知识如下。与实验结果一致，在转变时的液滴表面温度中没有观察到奇异行为。即使在液滴失去其液-气界面后，以高燃料浓度为特征的核心仍保持液体性质。由于连续相变发生在薄层中，通常的光学观察将给出图像，就好像表面仍然存在液滴一样。一旦核心即将消失，浓度和中心温度就会突然变化，呈现气态。在火焰存在的情况下，在较高压力下更靠近液滴，可以更快地实现转变。这一转变标志着从汽化燃烧到扩散控制燃烧的转变，伴随着火焰温度的升高。
