C2H2-O2-Ar和C2H2-N2O-Ar直接起爆形成爆轰的临界能量

采用高压电点火进行直接起爆形成爆轰,起爆能量通过放电过程中电流的输出信号确定。首先通 过实验测定并对比C2H2-O2-Ar和C2H2-N2O-Ar等2种混合物在各种初始状态下直接起爆形成爆轰的临界 起爆能量。实验结果表明,在相同状态下C2H2-N2O-Ar混合物的临界起爆能量显著高于C2H2-O2-Ar混合 物的。进一步基于各物质爆炸特征长度和爆轰临界管径的参量关系对临界起爆能量差异性进行分析,得到了 C2H2-N2O-Ar混合气体的爆轰临界管径预测曲线,并在此基础上得出C2H2-N2O-Ar混合物爆炸特征长度 与临界管径的关系为r0=2.5dc,而C2H2-O2-Ar两者关系为r0=2dc。结果清晰地表明,使用N2O 作为氧化 剂,爆炸特征长度与爆轰临界管径之间的比例因数增大,表明该物质直接起爆形成爆轰所需的起爆源单位能 量增大,因而直接形成爆轰的临界能量相应提高。     

环氧丙烷-空气混合物爆轰波胞格结构的研究

对碳氢燃料云雾爆轰波胞格结构的影响因素进行了分析:比较了初始温度在25℃和100℃条件下碳氢燃料胞格尺寸,发现胞格尺寸相差不大;胞格尺寸随初始压力的降低而增大,在相对压力为负压条件下得到清晰的爆轰波胞格结构;起爆能的增大可以导致更加复杂的爆轰波次胞格结构出现。     

液体碳氢燃料云雾爆轰特性的实验研究

采用升降法和烟迹技术在立式激波管中分别实测了液态燃料（环氧丙烷、硝酸异丙酯、己烷、C5~C6、庚烷、癸烷）与空气混合物直接起爆的临界起爆能和胞格尺寸。数据表明,气液两相云雾爆轰的临界起爆能与当量比呈U形曲线关系,这与气相爆轰得到的结论是一致的;临界起爆能的最小值并不是对应于等化学当量的混合物而是偏向于富燃料;根据三波点运动的烟迹记录,分析了云雾爆轰作用机制,认为液滴的碎解、汽化过程以及燃烧区前导是控制气液两相云雾爆轰的主要步骤。此外,还测定了无限空间下可燃气云的临界起爆能,并将激波管内得到的临界起爆能数据外推到无约束气云的临界起爆能,理论推算结果与实验值吻合较好。     

立式激波管内云雾爆轰胞格尺寸的测定与分析

采用烟迹技术在立式激波管中测定了环氧丙烷、90#汽油、硝酸异丙酯、庚烷、癸烷、戊二烯等几种燃料气液两相云雾爆轰的胞格尺寸。结果表明,云雾爆轰的胞格尺寸随当量比的变化呈U形曲线关系,且最小胞格尺寸并不是对应于等化学当量比而是偏向于富燃料一侧,这与气相爆轰的结论是一致的。胞格尺寸随起爆能的增加而减小。当起爆能达到一定值后,胞格尺寸变化不明显,若起爆能继续增加,在通常的胞格内出现精细结构。云雾爆轰波胞格长度与宽度的比值比气相爆轰小。另外,根据烟迹记录分析了云雾爆轰作用机制,认为液滴的碎解、汽化过程以及燃烧区前导是控制气液两相云雾爆轰的主要因素。     

用环形激波聚焦实现爆轰波直接起爆的数值模拟

利用基元反应模型和有限体积法对环形激波在可燃气体中聚焦实现爆轰波直接起爆进行了数值模拟。研究结果表明，标准状态下的氢气-空气混合气体在马赫数为3.1以上的环形激波聚焦产生的高温高压区作用下会诱发可燃气体的直接起爆形成爆轰波，爆轰波与激波和接触间断相互作用产生了复杂的波系结构；爆轰波爆点位置在对称轴上并不是固定的点，而是随着初始激波马赫数的变化而发生移动；可燃气体初始温度和压力对起爆临界马赫数都有影响，但是初始温度的影响大得多。     

氢气/丙烷/空气预混气体爆轰性能的实验研究

通过采用压力传感器和烟灰板两种测试设备,开展了常温常压下氢气/丙烷和空气混合气体爆轰性能的实验研究。实验过程中观察到自持爆轰波,爆轰速度比值在0.99~1之间,爆轰压力比值在0.8~1.2之间。爆轰胞格尺寸在10~50 mm范围内,建立了爆轰胞格尺寸和化学诱导长度的关系式。随着丙烷不断添加,爆轰速度减小,而爆轰压力和胞格尺寸增加。这种变化趋势起初较快,而后变缓。因为起初氢气摩尔分数较大,混合气体趋向于氢气/空气的爆轰性能;而后因丙烷摩尔质量较大,丙烷逐渐起主要作用,混合气体表现出丙烷/空气的爆轰性能。     

直管内胞格爆轰的基元反应数值研究

基于基元反应和二维欧拉方程，对直管内胞格爆轰进行了数值模拟。采用5阶WENO(weighted essentially nonoscillatory scheme)求解对流项，采用2阶附加半隐的龙格-库塔法处理化学反应源相引起的刚性。获得了密度、压力、温度和典型组元质量分数流场及数值胞格结构等。结果表明:网格精度的差异明显影响胞格的规则性和爆轰的平衡模数，随着网格尺度的减小，胞格由不规则变为规则。预混气组成、初压、初温及管道宽度给定，三波点数收敛为确定值。足够强度的初始扰动可再现胞格爆轰，最终形成的自持胞格爆轰模数与初始扰动的形状、大小、位置均无关。沿胞格中心线，爆轰波速度变化范围为0.88DCJ~1.5DCJ，爆轰波平均速度与CJ爆轰速度仅偏差0.88％。峰值压力与初压之比为14~50。计算爆轰波平均速度、胞格宽长比与实验值基本一致，但计算胞格宽度比实验值略小。数值模拟加深了对横波的产生和发展、未反应气囊、爆轰胞格的二次起爆等胞格爆轰特性的认识。     

高浓度氩气稀释气体爆轰波临界管径和临界间距关系

建立圆管及环形管道系统研究临近极限下爆轰波在管道内传播失效机理。选用C₂H₂+2.5O₂+70%Ar气体,采用光纤探针测量爆轰波在管道内传播速度,用烟迹法记录管道内爆轰波胞格结构。结果表明:初始压力远大于爆轰极限压力时,爆轰波在管道内以稳定速度传播;随着初始压力的减小,爆轰波速度逐渐降低;当初始压力一定时,爆轰波速度随着管道尺寸的减小而逐渐减小;当初始压力达到临界压力时,爆轰波在进入到管道内后其速度会逐渐衰减直至爆轰波完全失效。对于不同几何尺寸的圆管与环管,通过引入无量纲参数d/λ及w /λ(d为圆管管径,w为环管间距,λ为爆轰胞格尺寸)得出,爆轰波在管道内传播的临界圆管直径为环形间距的2倍,与理论模型结果相吻合,验证了稳态气体基于爆轰波波面曲率的失效机理。     

液体燃料云雾爆轰参数实验

为深入了解液体燃料云雾爆轰机理,借助自行设计和建造的立式爆轰管,并采用升降法和烟迹技 术,对环氧丙烷等液体燃料云雾爆轰参数(爆速、爆压、临界起爆能和爆轰胞格尺寸)与当量比的关系进行了实 验研究。结果表明,环氧丙烷的爆速和爆压随当量比的增加先增大后平缓减小;碳氢液体燃料云雾爆轰的临 界起爆能与当量比呈U型关系,最佳值点偏向富燃料一侧;临界起爆能的大小与燃料的分子结构和挥发性 有密切关系,IPN和PO 临界起爆能相当,而烷烃类临界起爆能均较大。环氧丙烷在25和50 ℃时的爆轰胞 格宽度与当量比皆呈U型关系,最小值点偏向富燃料一侧;气相爆轰胞格宽度比云雾爆轰略小。常温下环 氧丙烷云雾爆轰主要由气相反应所控制。

Direct initiation of detonations in unconfined gasoline sprays

Large scale experiments on detonation initiation in gasoline-air by two different sources were carried out at stoichiometric conditions. Unconfined clouds of volume generated by a special facility had a shape of semicylinder of 15–17 m in length and 6–8 m in radius. Both the charge of condensed HE and the charge of stoichiometric propane-air were used to initiate detonation in the mixture. In case of initiation by a propane-air charge the critical initiation energy was up to 7 times as large as that for HE initiation. The detonation cell size for gasoline-air was determined as 0.04–0.05 m. It was shown, that the well-known correlation between the critical energy of point blast initiation and the cell size failed for this system. The cell size obtained is close to one of propane-air, but no direct transfer of detonation from one mixture to another was observed. Received 10 March 1995 / Accepted 12 March 1995     

燃料-空气云雾爆轰的直接引爆实验研

在直径240mm的立式激波管中环氧丙烷(PO)、正己烷、癸烷分别与空气混合进行了直接起爆,测定了不同燃料、不同当量比的云雾直接引爆的临界起爆能。实验发现,当PO 空气混合物、正己烷 空气混合物及癸烷 空气混合物的当量比分别为1.05、1.12及1.15时,其临界起爆能均最小;三种混合物的可爆下限当量比分别为0.47(质量浓度4.23%)、0.75(质量浓度5.29%)及0.89(质量浓度5.8%)。实验表明,在本实验条件下,三种燃料与空气混合物的云雾都容易在较大当量比范围内引发爆轰并实现爆轰波稳定传播。     

Direct initiation of detonation in cryogenic gaseous H2-O2 mixtures

Critical conditions for the direct initiation of self-sustained detonation in cryogenic hydrogen-oxygen mixtures are examined experimentally. These initial conditions are expected to depend mainly on four parameters: the equivalence ratio of the mixture, the amount of the initial energy deposition, the initial temperature and pressure of the mixture. These critical conditions are determined by fixing alternatively three of these parameters and varying the fourth one from subcritical to supercritical detonation conditions. Results are presented for initial pressuresP _o and equivalence ratios ranging from 0.3 to 1 bar and from 1 to 2 respectively, for the two initial temperaturesT _o, 123 K and 293 K. These results indicate that for the lowest values of the initial pressure, a decrease of initial temperature may favour the onset of detonation. Whatever the initial conditions, the measured detonation pressures and velocities are in reasonably good agreement with the corresponding Chapman-Jouguet values computed using the ideal-gas equation of state.     

Experimental study on detonation parameters and cellular structures of fuel cloud

In this paper,detonation parameters of fuel cloud,such as propylene oxide(PO),isopropyl nitrate(IPN),hexane,90 # oil and decane were measured in a self-designed and constructed vertical shock tube.Results show that the detonation pressure and velocity of PO increase to a peak value and then decrease smoothly with increasing equivalence ratio.Several nitrate sensitizers were added into PO to make fuel mixtures,and test results indicated that the additives can efficiently enhance detonation velocity and pressure of fuel cloud and one type of additive n-propyl nitrate(NPN) played the best in the improvement.The critical initiation energy that directly initiated detonation of all the test liquid fuel clouds showed a U-shape curve relationship with equivalence ratios.The optimum concentration lies on the rich-fuel side(φ > 1).The critical initiation energy is closely related to molecular structure and volatility of fuels.IPN and PO have similar critical values while that of alkanes are larger.Detonation cell sizes of PO were respectively investigated at 25 C,35 C and 50 C with smoked foil technique.The cell width shows a U-shape curve relationship with equivalence ratios at all temperatures.The minimal cell width also lies on the rich-fuel side(φ > 1).The cell width of PO vapor is slightly larger than that of PO cloud.Therefore,the detonation reaction of PO at normal temperature is controlled by gas phase reaction.     

Critical energy for direct initiation of detonation induced by laser ablation

This study describes experimental work examining the critical energy for direct initiation of detonation by laser ablation in a stoichiometric acetylene–oxygen mixture. The amount of input energy, the target material, and the surface roughness of the target were varied to study their effects on shock wave generation. Aluminum and stainless steel were used as target materials. The propagating shock wave induced by laser ablation was observed using high-speed shadow imaging. The critical energy for direct initiation of detonation was calculated using the strong blast wave theory. The critical input energy for aluminum was found to be lower than that for stainless steel. Because the thermodynamic critical temperature of aluminum is lower than that of stainless steel, aluminum caused a phase explosion more easily than stainless steel, thus resulting in direct initiation of detonation with a lower amount of input energy. The effects of surface roughness on critical input energy and shock wave generation were negligibly small. The critical initiation energy was estimated to be \(10.3 \pm 0.2\) mJ, which is in agreement with the experimental data obtained in previous work. The estimated critical initiation energy was independent of the target material. However, other predictions of the critical initiation energy by using the cell size overestimated this value because of the scatter in cell size data of an unstable cellular structure. Furthermore, interaction between plasma plumes formed by laser ablation and those formed by breakdown near the target surface might have contributed to requiring a lower amount of energy for initiating detonation.     

Detonability of fuel-oxygen and fuel-air mixtures

An analysis of theoretical models and experimental investigations of the detonability of unconfined detonation in uniform gaseous mixtures shows a disparity in results. The present study is limited to propane, acetylene and methane diluted with oxygen or air in variable proportions and initial pressures at ambient temperature conditions. Because of the disparity in results, a simple and general formulation of critical initiation energy for gaseous detonations has been investigated. The problem has been formulated using the conservation equation of total energy enclosed by the shock. From this, a simple form for the critical energy has been deduced. This approach leads to a good simulation in uniform mixtures, regardless of initiation conditions. Some applications are presented in this paper. A new experimental study on the detonability of methane/oxygen mixtures diluted with propane and/or nitrogen is reported. The gaseous mixtures are confined in a cylindrical vessel. The initial conditions are various equivalence ratio and pressure under room temperature. In the case of methane/oxygen mixtures, the predetonation radius varies directly with the cell width. The constant ratio is in the order of 18, slightly different from the classical relation R _c= 20λ. For propane the slope variation of the critical energy versus initial pressure depends on the dilution. We have compared the critical energy obtained by several authors with the theoretical values. Fuel ratio and initial pressure are the chosen parameters. These comparisons show that the formulation allows for the prediction of the critical energy of detonation of uniform mixtures with a good estimation range. The correlation between the different geometries has been deduced and a test has been conducted as well in the case of stoichiometric methane/oxygen and acetylene/oxygen mixtures versus initial pressure for a cylindrical detonation.
