一个改进的电磁波传输激波管实验

在中国科学院力学研究所Φ800 mm高温低密度激波管上进行电磁波在等离子体中传输机理研究时,低密度和强激波条件下,由于气体解离和电离等非平衡过程,使得激波后2区宽度显著减小;同时由于边界层效应造成激波衰减和接触面加速,使得激波后2区长度进一步减小.这两个效应导致激波管2区实验观测时间减小,2区气体处于非平衡状态,增加了观察数据的不稳定性和数据分析的难度.本文提出在Φ800 mm高温低密度激波管中采用氩气(Ar)和空气(Air)混合气替代纯空气作为激波管实验介质气体.利用Ar不解离和难电离的特性,减小激波前后压缩比,从而增加激波后2区实验时间和气体长度.采用Langmuir静电探针和微波透射诊断技术测量激波后电子密度,同时利用探针测量激波后2区实验时间.结果显示,在Ar+Air混合气实验中,激波波后电子密度可达与纯Air同样的10~(13)cm~(-3)量级.在与纯Air相同的电子密度和碰撞频率条件下,采用95%Ar+5%Air和90%Ar+10%Air两种混合气,激波后2区实验时间和气体长度约为纯Air条件下的5～10倍,其中2区实验时间为300～800μs,2区气体长度1～1.5 m.在Φ800 mm激波管中采用Ar+Air介质气体进行电磁波传输实验,获得了比在纯Air介质中与理论预测更一致的结果.

Effect of wall heat transfer on shock-tube test temperature at long times

When performing chemical kinetics experiments behind reflected shock waves at conditions of lower temperature (<1,000 K), longer test times on the order of 10–20 ms may be required. The integrity of the test temperature during such experiments may be in question, because heat loss to the tube walls may play a larger role than is generally seen in shock-tube kinetics experiments that are over within a millisecond or two. A series of detailed calculations was performed to estimate the effect of longer test times on the temperature uniformity of the post-shock test gas. Assuming the main mode of heat transfer is conduction between the high-temperature gas and the colder shock-tube walls, a comprehensive set of calculations covering a range of conditions including test temperatures between 800 and 1,800 K, pressures between 1 and 50 atm, driven-tube inner diameters between 3 and 16.2 cm, and test gases of N₂ and Ar was performed. Based on the results, heat loss to the tube walls does not significantly reduce the area-averaged temperature behind the reflected shock wave for test conditions that are likely to be used in shock-tube studies for test times up to 20 ms (and higher), provided the shock-tube inner diameter is sufficiently large (>8cm). Smaller diameters on the order of 3 cm or less can experience significant temperature loss near the reflected-shock region. Although the area-averaged gas temperature decreases due to the heat loss, the main core region remains spatially uniform so that the zone of temperature change is limited to only the thermal layer adjacent to the walls. Although the heat conduction model assumes the gas and wall to behave as solid bodies, resulting in a core gas temperature that remains constant at the initial temperature, a two-zone gas model that accounts for density loss from the core to the colder thermal layer indicates that the core temperature and gas pressure both decrease slightly with time. A full CFD solution of the shock-tube flow field and heat transfer at long test times was also performed for one typical condition (800 K, 1 atm, Ar), the results of which indicate that the simpler analytical conduction model is realistic but somewhat conservative in that it over predicts the mean temperature loss by a few Kelvins. This paper presents the first comprehensive study on the effects of long test times on the average test gas temperature behind the reflected shock wave for conditions representative of chemical kinetics experiments.

A rapid opening sleeve valve for a diaphragmless shock tube

This paper describes a novel pneumatically operated diaphragmless shock tube valve that is capable of generating well-formed shock waves within a driven tube which has a length to diameter ratio of 122. Its development was motivated by the requirement for an automated shock tube—an application for which the conventional bursting diaphragm method is not suited. The valve operates reliably, without any need for adjustment to its setup, over a wide range of driver pressures. Shock waves of up to Mach 2.4 have been generated in test gas at atmospheric pressure. A model for assessing the performance of the valve was developed and calibrated with experimental data. It indicated that opening times in the region of 0.5 ms were attained. By comparison, the opening time of a burst diaphragm is approximately 0.2–0.3 ms. Features of the valve include a streamlined flow path, which helps optimise the efficiency of the shock tube, automated operation and a test turn around time of the order of a few minutes.

Radiative cooling of plasma behind a reflected shock front

Calculation of gas flow in a shock tube on the basis of ideal theory [1] leads to results that differ from the real picture. In particular, the calculated velocity of the reflected shock wave exceeds the experimentally measured velocity [2] by about 20%. The calculated parameters of shock-heated gas agree well with the experimental results only directly behind the shock front [3]. The present paper reports a theoretical and experimental investigation of the variation of the plasma parameters behind the front of a reflected shock wave in argon. A picture of the gas-dynamic processes taking place after reflection of the incident shock wave by the end of the shock tube is determined. A method is developed for approximate analytic calculation, this making it possible to determine not only the parameters of the gas directly behind the front of the reflected shock wave for different positions of the wave relative to the end of the shock tube but also the variation of these parameters in other regions behind the reflected shock wave. The calculation takes into account the influence of the boundary layer and radiative cooling in the approximation of a low degree of ionization of the plasma and persistence of equilibrium conditions in the entire region behind the reflected shock wave. The experimental and theoretical profiles of the radiation behind the reflected shock wave are compared.     

Determination of ignition delay times of different hydrocarbons in a new high pressure shock tube

The impending scarcity of fossil fuel in the future requires continued development in hydrocarbon combustion research. Biofuels offer a promising alternative to traditional fossil fuel-based combustion. To optimize engine design for biofuels, adequate combustion characteristics for new fuels have to be known. In this study, a new high pressure stainless steel shock tube for measuring ignition delay times is presented. When compared with other shock tubes for investigating ignition delays, the new tube provides superior maximum working pressures and geometric properties. Shock tube performance is determined by reference experiments with air as driven gas. These experiments allow to determine the available test time and the influence of shock attenuation. Owing to the large inner diameter of the shock tube, shock attenuation is <1% as it is typical for low pressure shock tubes. However, contrast to typical low pressure shock tubes, non-diluted fuel–air mixtures at high pressures can be investigated in the new shock tube due to the high allowable working pressure. First experiments concerning the ignition delay time have been performed with methane and n-heptane. The results of these experiments show a good agreement to literature data. As a first biofuel ethanol has been investigated at elevated pressures up to 40 bar.     

Auto-ignitions of a methane/air mixture at high and intermediate temperatures

A rapid compression machine (RCM) and a shock tube (ST) have been employed to study ignition delay times of homogeneous methane/air mixtures at intermediate-to-high temperatures. Both facilities allow measurements to be made at temperatures of 900–2000 K, at pressures of 0.38–2.23 MPa, and at equivalence ratios of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0. In ST experiments, nitrogen served as a diluent gas, whereas in RCM runs the diluent gas composition ranged from pure nitrogen to pure argon. Recording pressure, UV, and visible emissions identified the evolution of chemical reactions. Correlations of ignition delay time were generated from the data for each facility. At temperatures below 1300 K, a significant reduction of average activation energy from 53 to 15.3 kcal/mol was obtained. Moreover, the RCM data showed significant scatter that dramatically increased with decreasing temperature. An explanation for the abnormal scatter in the data was proposed based on the high-speed visualization of auto-ignition phenomena and experiments performed with oxygen-free and fuel-free mixtures. It is proposed that the main reason for such a significant reduction of average activation energy is attributable to the premature ignition of ultrafine particles in the reactive mixture.     

Experimental investigation of a twice-shocked spherical gas inhomogeneity with particle image velocimetry

Results are presented from an experimental investigation into the interaction of a planar shock wave with a vortex ring. A free-falling spherical soap bubble is traversed by the incident shock wave and develops into a vortex ring as a result of baroclinically deposited vorticity (?r×?p 1 0{\nabla\rho\times\nabla p \neq 0}). The vortex ring translates with a velocity relative to the particle velocity behind the shock wave due to circulation. After the shock wave reflects from the tube end wall, it traverses the vortex ring (this process is called “reshock”) and deposits additional vorticity. Planar Mie scattering is used to visualize the atomized soap film at high frame rates (up to 10,000 fps). Particle image velocimetry (PIV) was performed for an argon bubble in nitrogen accelerated by a M = 1.35 shock wave. Circulation was determined from the PIV velocity field and found to agree well with Kelvin’s vortex ring model.
