JP-10 (exo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene, C10H16) ignition delay times were measured in a preheated shock tube. The vapor pressures of the JP-10 were measured directly by using a high-precision vacuum gauge, to remedy the difficulty in determining the gaseous concentrations of heavy hydrocarbon fuel arising from the adsorption on the wall in shock tube experiments. The whole variation of pressure and emission of the OH or CH radicals were observed in the ignition process by a pressure transducer and a photomultiplier with a monochromator. The emission of the OH or CH radicals was used to identify the time to ignition. Experiments were performed over the pressure range of 151-556 kPa, temperature range of 1000-2100 K, fuel concentrations of 0.1%-0.55% mole fraction, and stoichiometric ratios of 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0. The experimental results show that for the lower and higher temperature ranges, there are different dependency relationships of the ignition time on the temperature and the concentrations of JP-10 and oxygen. 相似文献
To study electron affinity kinetics, a shock tube method was applied, in which the test gas was ionized by a reflected shock wave and subsequently quenched by a strong rarefaction wave. As the quenching speed of 106 K/s was reached, a nonequilibrium ionization recombination process occurred, which was dominated by ion recombination with electrons. A Langmuir electrostatic probe was used to monitor variation in the ion number density at the reflection shock region. The working state of the probe was analyzed, and a correction was introduced for reduction of the probe current due to elastic scattering in the probe sheath. The three body electron affinity rate coefficient of the fluorine atom over the temperature range 1200 to 2200 K in an ambiance of argon gas was directly determined. The temperature dependence of electron affinity rate coefficient was discussed. 相似文献
We consider multi-dimensional shock waves. We study their stability in Hadamard's sense, following Erpenbeck and Majda's strategy. When the unperturbed shock is close to a Lax shock which is already -d unstable, we show, under a generic hypothesis, that it cannot be strongly stable. We also characterize strong instability in terms of a sign of an explicit quadratic form. In most cases, the instability under 1-d perturbations, which occurs for exceptional shock waves, characterizes a transition between weak stability and strong instability in the multi-dimensional setting.
RÉSUMÉ. Nous considérons la stabilité des ondes de choc multi-dimensionnelles, en suivant la stratégie d'Erpenbeck et Majda. Lorsque le choc non perturbé est proche d'un choc de Lax longitudinalement instable, nous montrons, moyennant une hypothèse générique, que des ondes de surface sont présentes, empêchant ainsi la stabilité forte. Nous donnons aussi un critère d'instabilité forte en termes de signe d'une certaine forme quadratique. L'instabilité -d d'un choc est en général facile à établir, car elle revêt un caractère exceptionnel. Elle apparaît comme une transition entre la stabilité faible et l'instabilité dans le contexte multi-d.
