On the example of development a unique on-board gasification system for non-produced residues of liquid fuel in the tanks of the launch vehicle stage, the improvement of the quality of theoretical and experimental research is considered. Due to the uniqueness of the developed on-board gasification system, which begins functioning after the main liquid rocket engine (LRE) is turned off, there are no studies of the proposed method of gasification (evaporation) based on the supply of a carrier heat in the form of hot gas to the tank with liquid fuel residues, and the methodology for selecting the design -engineering parameters of the on-board gasification system. It is obvious that the creation of a methodology for selecting the design -engineering parameters of the on-board gasification system, the further development of the on-board gasification system and the study of its functioning to improve the quality is impossible without conducting a study of the convective gasification process in the fuel tank. To develop a physical and mathematical model and a physical model of the gasification process, an experimental model installation with a model liquid as part of an experimental stand is considered.
The program and the methodology of the experiment and the results of the experiment have been developed. The experimental bench and metrological support have been created, liquid nitrogen (LN) has been considered as a model liquid. A database of heat and mass exchange process parameters (pressure, temperature) under the modes of tank inflation with helium gas up to 2 atm., given external thermal loading, pressure relief after reaching 4 atm. up to 1 atm. The technique of processing the results of pressure and temperature measurements with the assumptions and limitations is given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
