Methodology of experimental determining the combustion efficiency of fuel mixture flows in channels of variable cross-section

详细

The physically validated approaches to the setting of an experiment are presented and the methodological aspects of an analysis of experimental data for establishing the distinctive features of the fuel mixture combustion in variable-cross-section channels are considered. The special features of determining the fuel combustion efficiency coefficient in subsonic and supersonic flows are considered with account for heat removal into the channel walls. The effect of the fuel combustion efficiency coefficient on the distributions of gasdynamic and thermodynamic parameters along the length of the internal ducts of channels of different configurations is analyzed. The results of the testing of the techniques proposed against an experimental investigation of gaseous hydrogen combustion in high-enthalpy air flows are presented. The results obtained and the mathematical models developed can be used at the stage of computational and experimental investigations of the working process in promising power plants.
