掺氢航空发动机燃料的基础燃烧特性

Fundamental Combustion Characteristics of Jet Fuels Mixed with Hydrogen

  • 摘要: 面向航空“碳中和”需求,基于数值模拟研究了掺氢对航空燃油替代燃料火焰传播、自着火以及自着火协助下火焰传播的影响。结果表明:在富燃条件下,无量纲化火焰速度随掺氢量的增加呈非线性增大,可接近20,这给避免火焰回火带来了巨大挑战;掺氢后火焰温度的升高对火焰速度的影响在贫燃时可忽略,而在富燃时不可忽略;对于自着火,纯正十二烷和纯氢两种燃料的混合物存在动力学耦合。基于此构建的自着火风险图表明,氢气在亚音速巡航条件下抑制自着火,而在超音速巡航条件下可能抑制也可能促进自着火,取决于掺氢量和燃烧室入口温度。针对自着火与火焰传播的耦合,一维自着火协助火焰的计算结果表明,对于具有两阶段着火特性的燃料,掺氢的质量分数达到50%时可消除其第一阶段自着火的协助效应。

     

    Abstract: In response to the demand for aviation carbon neutrality, the effects of hydrogen addition on flame propagation, autoignition, and autoignition-assisted flame propagation for surrogate jet fuel were numerically investigated at engine conditions. Results show that for fuel-rich conditions, the normalized flame speed increases nonlinearly with increasing hydrogen ratio and can reach over 20, which poses great challenges for avoiding flashback. For fuel-lean mixtures, the flame speed enhancement due to the flame temperature can be ignored, while cannot be for fuel-rich mixtures. For autoignition, there exists kinetic coupling for n-dodecane/hydrogen mixtures. Based on this, the diagram for autoignition risks is constructed, which indicates that hydrogen suppresses autoignition under subsonic cruising conditions, while it may suppress or promote autoignition under supersonic cruising conditions, depending on the hydrogen mixing ratio and the combustor inlet temperature. For the coupling of flame propagation and autoignition, the one-dimensional calculations of autoignition-assisted flames demonstrate that, for the complex fuel with two-stage ignition, the first-stage ignition assistance can be eliminated when the mass fraction of hydrogen reaches 50%.
