Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of high-strength hydrogen peroxide catalytic bed structure that can be used for ground experiment hybrid rocket engine, belong to solid-liquid rocket field.
Background technique
High-strength hydrogen peroxide (referring generally to the hydrogen peroxide of mass fraction >85%) because its density is high, toxicity is low, environmentally friendly, be oxygenant conventional in hybrid rocket engine.Conventionally, hydrogen peroxide can be decomposed into high-temperature water vapor and oxygen by the catalytic bed of engine interior, fire fuel powder column in firing chamber, and high-temperature reaction product provides thrust through jet pipe ejection.Wherein, the decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide can be expressed as
2H
2O
2(l)→2H
2O(g)+O
2(g)+Heat
Conventional hydrogen peroxide catalyzed bed can fixedly be formed by pellet type catalyst or the netted catalytic structure encapsulation of multilayer, also can sinter integral honeycomb shape structure into, as document S.Bonifacio, G.Festa, and A.R.Sorge, " Novel Structured Catalysts for Hydrogen Peroxide Decomposition in Monopropellant and Hybrid Rockets, " Journal of Propulsion and Power, pp.1-8, described in 2013.The catalyzer of variety classes, different preparation processs is different to the catalytic efficiency of hydrogen peroxide dissociation reaction.This catalytic efficiency can be weighed by catalytic activity, i.e. the reactant quality (g/cm of the catalyzer energy catalysis of per unit volume in the unit time
3s).The design work state different to hybrid rocket engine, required hydrogen peroxide mass flow rate (g/s) is different.Therefore, in the ground experiment of hybrid rocket engine, often need to regulate the useful load of catalyzer, to determine the amount of the hydrogen peroxide of particular flow rate being decomposed completely to corresponding catalyzer.
More existing hydrogen peroxide hybrid rocket schemes, as described in patent US006991772Bl, do not relate to the structure of catalytic bed; Some documents, as patent US20110167793Al, have proposed the design of solid-liquid rocket, but do not consider detailed structure and the installation form of catalytic bed, and the amount of catalyzer cannot regulate.Meanwhile, the structure in patent US20110167793Al is not considered the dimensional fits problem of gas spray orifice after liquid spray orifice before catalyst granules and catalytic bed, catalytic bed.When catalyst granules diameter is less than the spray orifice diameter of design, need to take measures to prevent that catalyst granules from spraying through spray orifice.In addition, even if catalyst granules diameter is greater than the spray orifice diameter of design, also need to prevent that catalyzer from blocking spray orifice, affect the whole spray form of motor oxygenant.
