Reflection of structural waves at a solid/liquid interface   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
This paper investigates the reflection characteristics of structural or guided waves in rods at a solid/liquid interface. Structural waves, whose wavelengths are much larger than the diameter of the rod, are described in a first approximation by classical one-dimensional wave theory. The reflection characteristics of such waves at a solid/liquid (melting) interface has been reported by two different ultrasonic measurement techniques: first, measuring the fast regression rate of a melting interface during the burning of metal rod samples in an oxygen-enriched environment, and second, monitoring the propagation of the solid/liquid interface during the slow melting and solidification of a rod sample in a furnace. The second work clearly shows that the major reflection occurs from the solid/liquid interface and not the liquid/gas interface as predicted by plane longitudinal wave reflectivity theory. The present work confirms this observation by reporting on the results of some specially designed experiments to identify the main interface of reflection for structural waves in rods. Hence, it helps in explaining the fundamental discrepancy between the reflection characteristics at a solid/liquid interface between low frequency structural waves and high frequency bulk waves, and confirms that the detected echo within a burning metallic rod clearly represents a reflection from the solid/liquid interface.  相似文献

Silica and titania nanoparticles were included at mass loadings of 1% and 3% in aqueous HAN propellants to evaluate their effects on liquid- and gas-phase decomposition and combustion. Both the liquid-phase and overall burning rates of propellant formulations were indirectly measured in a constant-volume strand burner filled with Argon from pressures of 3–22?MPa using a novel, pressure-based method developed by the authors in recent work. This approach provides overall burn times for propellants such as aqueous HAN which continue to burn beyond the disappearance of the liquid, making it superior to methods based solely on visual observation which only monitor the liquid surface regression. The presence of silica nanoparticles increased the liquid-phase burning rate in the low- and medium-pressure regimes (<10?MPa) and increased the overall burning rate at all pressures evaluated. The maximum amount of burning rate enhancement was realized at the lowest evaluated pressure (3?MPa) which corresponded to 80% and 670% increases in the liquid-phase and overall burning rates, respectively, for a silica loading of 1%, and 160% and 830% increases in the liquid-phase and overall burning rates, respectively, for a silica loading of 3%. The presence of titania did not measurably affect the liquid-phase burning rate, but it did increase the overall burning rate in the low-pressure regime (<5.7?MPa). This low-pressure overall burning rate enhancement was not amplified by further titania loading from 1% to 3% and was maximized at the lowest evaluated pressure (3?MPa) which corresponded to a 500% increase in the overall burning rate. The observed enhancements of the propellant's liquid-phase and overall burning rates were attributed to the presence of catalytic processes which diminish at higher pressures. This work represents the first time nanoparticle additives have been utilized to tailor the combustion of liquid HAN-based monopropellants.  相似文献

The standard oxygen consumption (cone) calorimeter (described in ASTM E 1354 and NASA STD 6001 Test 2) is modified to provide a bench-scale test environment that simulates the low velocity buoyant or ventilation flow generated by or around a burning surface in a spacecraft or extraterrestrial gravity level. The equivalent low stretch apparatus (ELSA) uses an inverted cone geometry with the sample burning in a ceiling fire (stagnation flow) configuration. For a fixed radiant flux, ignition delay times for characterization material PMMA are shown to decrease by a factor of 3 at low stretch, demonstrating that ignition delay times determined from normal cone tests significantly underestimate the risk in microgravity. The critical heat flux for ignition is found to be lowered at low stretch as the convective cooling is reduced. At the limit of no stretch, any heat flux that exceeds the surface radiative loss at the surface ignition temperature is sufficient for ignition. Regression rates for PMMA increase with heat flux and stretch rate, but regression rates are much more sensitive to heat flux at the low stretch rates, where a modest increase in heat flux of 25 kW/m2 increases the burning rates by an order of magnitude. The global equivalence ratio of these flames is very fuel rich, and the quantity of CO produced in this configuration is significantly higher than standard cone tests. These results demonstrate that the ELSA apparatus allows us to conduct normal gravity experiments that accurately and quantifiably evaluate a material’s flammability characteristics in the real-use environment of spacecraft or extraterrestrial gravitational acceleration. These results also demonstrate that current NASA STD 6001 Test 2 (standard cone) is not conservative since it evaluates a material’s flammability with a much higher inherent buoyant convective flow.  相似文献

The burning rates of modified double-base propellant at various pressures and initial temperatures were determined. The sensitivities of the combustion wave characteristics to the pressure and initial temperature were obtained. The functions of response of the burning rate to oscillatory pressure were calculated. Three types of response functions were identified. The errors in determination of these functions were estimated.  相似文献

The combustion behavior of nano-aluminum-water (n-Al-H2O) mixture with addition of polyacrylamide (PAM) was investigated in argon at 0.1~1.5 MPa using a constant-pressure strand burner. The burning rates of n-Al-H2O mixture were measured. The results show that PAM addition can not only help improve the burning rate of n-Al-H2O mixture, but also decrease the pressure index of burning rate. The mixture of n-Al powder and H2O cannot be ignited in argon at 0.1 MPa, but the mixture of n-Al powder and H2O with the 3 wt % PAM can be ignited, and the mixture can support the self-sustaining combustion. The burning rate is 7.64 mm/s. Moreover, the burning rate increases with increasing the pressure. In addition, the combustion process and flame image characteristics were obtained by a high-speed photography technique, and the element composition and surface morphology of the condensed combustion products were evaluated using a scanning electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive X-ray system.  相似文献

Laminar burning velocities of dimethyl ether (DME) and air premixed flames at elevated pressures up to 10 atm were measured by using a newly developed pressure-release type spherical bomb. The measurement system was validated using laminar burning velocities of methane–air flames. A comparison with the previous experimental data shows an excellent agreement and demonstrates the accuracy and reliability of the present experimental system. The measured flame speeds of DME–air flames were compared with the previous experimental data and the predictions using the full and reduced mechanisms. At atmospheric pressure, the measured laminar burning velocities of DME–air flames are in reasonable agreement with the previous data from spherical bomb method, but are much lower than both predictions and the experimental data of the PIV based counterflow flame measurements. The laminar burning velocities of DME–air flames at 2, 6, and 10 atm were also measured. It was found that flame speed decreases considerably with the increase of pressure. Moreover, the measured flame speeds are also lower than the predictions at high pressures. In addition, experiments showed that at high pressures the rich DME–air flames are strongly affected by the hydrodynamic and thermal-diffusive instabilities. Markstein lengths and the overall reaction order at different equivalence ratios were extracted from the flame speed data at elevated pressures. Sensitivity analysis showed that reactions involving methyl and formyl radicals play an important role in DME–air flame propagation and suggested that systematic modification of the reactions rates associated with methyl and formyl formations are necessary to reduce the discrepancies between predictions and measurements.  相似文献

This study reports the effect of binder melt flow on the burning behaviour, specifically the burning rate controlling sites referred to as the leading edge flames (LEFs), of different types of sandwich propellants, namely, pure, micro-aluminized and nano-aluminized binder. The distance between the LEFs anchored over the lamina interface edges of sandwiches is measured from the combustion images captured under high spatio-temporal resolution. Similarly, the extent of binder melt flow is also measured from the quenched surfaces of sandwiches. The burning rate experiments are performed as well on sandwiches with different middle lamina contents and thicknesses at pressures of 2, 4 and 7 MPa. Two different curing agents are considered to examine the melt flow behaviour of the binder. The curing agent significantly influences the inter-LEF distance mainly in the case of pure binder sandwiches, however, its effect is negligible in aluminized binder sandwiches because of the presence of Al particles that impedes the flow to appreciable extent. Substantial protrusion of the middle lamina relative to the lamina interfaces is observed in micro-aluminized binder sandwiches due to significant accumulation of Al particles on the burning surface. In the case of nano-aluminized binder sandwiches, such protrusion is relatively marginal since nano-Al particles burn quickly, which enables the gas phase flame to locate close to the burning surface, although the extent of Al accumulation is considerably more than in the former case. This causes the nano-aluminized binder sandwiches as a whole to burn significantly faster than the other two cases in the pressure range (<7 MPa) where the LEFs predominantly control the sandwich burning rates.  相似文献

Pressure-sensitive paint is presented and evaluated in this article as a quantitative technique for measurement of acoustic pressure fluctuations. This work is the culmination of advances in paint technology which enable unsteady measurements of fluctuations over 10 kHz at pressure levels as low as 125 dB. Pressure-sensitive paint may be thought of as a nano-scale array of optical microphones with a spatial resolution limited primarily by the resolution of the imaging device. Thus, pressure-sensitive paint is a powerful tool for making high-amplitude sound pressure measurements. In this work, the paint was used to record ensemble-averaged, time-resolved, quantitative measurements of two-dimensional mode shapes in an acoustic resonance cavity. A wall-mounted speaker generated nonlinear, standing acoustic waves in a rigid enclosure measuring 216 mm wide, 169 mm high, and 102 mm deep. The paint recorded the acoustic surface pressures of the (1,1,0) mode shape at approximately 1.3 kHz and a sound pressure level of 145.4 dB. Results from the paint are compared with data from a Kulite pressure transducer, and with linear acoustic theory. The paint may be used as a diagnostic technique for ultrasonic tests where high spatial resolution is essential, or in nonlinear acoustic applications such as shock tubes.  相似文献

The work reported is part of a larger study of the mechanics of discontinuous fibre reinforced composite materials—particularly those with interfacial slip. The materials used were models composed of aligned stub steel rods of 0·4 mm diameter and 25 mm length as fibres and a proprietary silicone rubber as matrix. The specimens, which were of low volume fraction (~7·5%), were in the form of square section rods and had either bonded or unbonded matrix/fibre interfaces. The tests conducted consisted of simple strain controlled tensile tests at 0·83 Hz and 0·083 Hz and the use of the specimens as the spring/damper element in a single degree of freedom system resonating near 20 Hz. In the latter tests, the damping in the system extraneous to the specimen was quite high and, in the case of the bonded specimens, a correction had to be made. Both the damping and stiffness of all the specimens were broadly dependent upon the amplitude of oscillation. In all cases in the single degree of freedom system tests, softening resonances were exhibited, but in the case of the bonded specimens this was due to the nature of the matrix while for the unbonded specimens reduction in stiffness with increase in amplitude was due to sliding at the interface. The specimens had been designed to investigate this latter effect, which also occasioned a substantial increase in damping and led to flat-topped resonance curves characteristic of a system containing friction. The tests further exhibited the rate sensitivity of the properties of the unbonded interface specimens which showed higher stiffness and lower damping in the resonance tests than in those at lower frequencies. It was concluded that a discontinuous fibre composite developed for its damping properties would be most effectively achieved in a composite where there was a good bond at the interface and the matrix damping increased greatly with increase in shear or rate of deformation.  相似文献
