Abstract:In this research, a thermal analysis method has been developed to analyze the heat transfer process associated with endothermic hydrocarbon regenerative-cooled structure of a combustor. The complex heat transfer processes relevant to such cooling structure exposed in severe heat environment are modeled by three coupled processes: hot side boundary condition specification, flow and convective heat transfer of fuel within cooling channels and heat transfer in combustor structure with cooling channels embeded.

“…The coupled heat transfer processes involving SGL phases shown in Fig. 4 were modeled [28], that is, the flow and combustion in the internal flow path, the heat conduction within the shells, and the heat transfer inside the cooling channels. The channel wall is a two-sided wall that forms the interface between the coolant fluid and the solid combustor shell body, and thus the thermal boundary conditions of the two regions are coupled.…”

A new attempt is made to simulate progressive failure processes in heterogeneous brittle materials such as concrete, ceramics, rocks etc., by considering the time-dependence of stress redistributions induced by local breakages. Two mechanisms of stress redistribution are incorporated into the proposed model in order to account for the influence of each local breakage on the remaining specimen: (1) one is the immediate release of internal forces in the breaking element, which is assumed to happen within an infinitesimal time when compared with the characteristic time of external loadings. The release of such internal forces is hence suddenly applied to the remaining specimen, which is considered to take time to deform correspondingly due to material viscosity. This deformation delay is implemented by introducing a viscous force (VF) field prevailing in the entire specimen. (2) The other is the gradual release of previously stored VF fields, whose characteristic time is assumed to be material-dependent. Here the release of VF is approximated as stepwise for simplicity. The proposed model is found to be capable of overcoming the unreasonablylow-ductility problem encountered in many existing lattice models when it comes to the uniaxial tensile test. Furthermore, the force-displacement response obviously depends on the ratio of the VF releasing time to the characteristic time of external loading, showing trends agreeing with experimental observations. Compared with results without viscosity, the failure pattern is more scattering, and the force-displacement curve has a higher peak load and a more ductile post-peak tail.
