Description

Aviation power system, liquid nitrogen expansion assembly, aircraft and driving method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of energy power, in particular to an aviation power system, a liquid nitrogen expansion assembly, an aircraft and a driving method thereof.
Background
The aeronautical power device relates to various disciplines of pneumatics, thermotechnical, structure and strength, control, test, computer, manufacturing technology and material, etc., and its working conditions such as temperature, pressure, stress, rotating speed, vibration, clearance and corrosion, etc. are far more complex and severer than other subsystems of the airplane, and have extremely high requirements for performance, weight, applicability, reliability, durability and environmental characteristics, etc. Therefore, the conventional development process is a process of multiple iterations of designing, manufacturing, testing, and modifying the design.
A conventional aviation power system is shown in fig. 1 and 2, that is, a gas turbine power system 10 includes a fan 100, a compressor unit 200, a combustion chamber 300, and a turbine 400, air enters the combustion chamber 300 after passing through the fan 100 and the compressor unit 200, and undergoes a combustion reaction with fuel injected into the combustion chamber 300 through a fuel nozzle, and the reacted high-temperature gas pushes the turbine 400 to do work to output power. One of the core components of the gas turbine power system 10 is a gas generator, i.e., combustor 300. The fuel of the gas generator is aviation kerosene, the problems of pollution and emission cannot be avoided when the kerosene is combusted, namely the problem of environmental pollution is very prominent, and particularly, if pollution and emission indexes of a civil aviation engine do not reach the standard, the airworthiness can not be obtained. With the progress of related technical means, the existing civil aircraft engine has remarkable progress on performance indexes, such as fuel consumption and pollutant emission indexes, which are greatly reduced compared with the prior art. On the other hand, however, with the increasingly high economic and environmental requirements of the international society and civil aviation organization on civil aviation engines, how to make the aviation engines meet the increasing high performance index requirements remains an important issue to face for a long time.
At present, although the increase of the engine pressure ratio and the outlet temperature of the combustion chamber can improve the thermal efficiency of the whole machine and reduce the fuel consumption, the increase is limited by the design level, the processing level, the material capability and the cooling technology level, and the turbine front temperature of the prior aeroengine is close to the limit value for safe use, so that the improvement is difficult to be obvious. In the prior art, a technical scheme of adopting a low-pollution combustion chamber is adopted, but because an aero-engine uses fossil fuel, generally aviation kerosene, as a power source of the fossil fuel, pollutants such as NOx, CO and UHC are difficult to completely avoid in combustion, and therefore certain environmental pollution can be caused. Meanwhile, the aviation kerosene is high in cost, non-renewable and not easy to store and has high danger.
In addition, for the oxygen supply system of the airplane, the liquid oxygen source system is adopted, the weight of the liquid oxygen source system is 60-70% lighter than that of the high-pressure oxygen source system, and the volume of the liquid oxygen source system is 60-80% smaller than that of the high-pressure oxygen source system. However, the liquid oxygen system generally directly produces liquid oxygen from the ground and stores the liquid oxygen in a liquid oxygen storage tank of the aircraft, but the problem of volatilization of the liquid oxygen causes the ground oxygen storage equipment to be complicated and the maintenance cost to be high.
Therefore, there is a need in the art for an aviation power system, a liquid nitrogen expansion assembly, an aircraft and a driving method thereof, so as to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of environmental pollution, high cost, non-regeneration, and difficult storage danger of aviation kerosene, and complicated ground oxygen storage equipment and high maintenance cost caused by oxygen supply of the existing aircraft liquid oxygen source system.
