Description
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a power equipment technical field particularly, relates to a two-component nitrous oxide engine.
Background
Self-pressurized rocket propellants have recently become of increasing interest to researchers. In particular, nitrous oxide is used as a liquid oxidizer for rocket self-pressurization. Nitrous oxide has a saturated vapor Pressure (PV) of about 730psi (5.03 MPa) at room temperature. Some important thermodynamic properties of nitrous oxide are shown in table 1. This makes nitrous oxide an attractive rocket power system propellant because it can be discharged from the tank without the need for complex pressurization systems or turbo pumps (hence the name self-pressurization). Nitrous oxide is easy to store, relatively non-toxic and easy to control. Thus, conventional oxidizers and single-component propellants commonly used in current launching systems (e.g., Liquid Oxygen (LOX), dinitrogen tetroxide (N)2O4) Hydrazine (N)2H4) It is generally considered a safe alternative.
TABLE 1N2Important thermodynamic properties of O
However, it should be noted that the use of nitrous oxide, as with all propellants, has its associated risks and should therefore always be considered. In particular, nitrous oxide decomposition is an exothermic reaction. In some cases, the continuous decomposition reaction can result in an increase in pressure in the pressure vessel leading to explosion. Such explosions have occurred in rocket power systems in the past and have even caused death of personnel. However, with proper precautions and controls, nitrous oxide can be safely used as a rocket propellant.
Conventional engines used for controlling satellite orbit or attitude control, etc., can be classified into monopropellant engines (using a single propellant) and bipropellant engines (using a propellant containing an oxidizer and a fuel).
FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a conventional two-component engine. The engine 1 is constructed by adding, for example, hydrazine (N)2H4) Or methylhydrazine (MMH), oxidizing agents such as nitrous oxide (N)2O4) The fuel and the oxidant are mixed and combusted in the combustion chamber 3 through the electromagnetic valve 2 and the electromagnetic valve 5 respectively to generate high-temperature fuel gas which is sprayed out from a spray pipe of the engine 1 to generate thrust.
The conventional engines described above use highly toxic propellants. Therefore, when a power system composed of these engines is operated on the ground, environmental protection and safe disposal are essential. Researchers throughout the world are currently working on developing liquid engines that can use low or no toxicity propellants.
In addition, hydrazine is currently used as the mainstream propellant for satellite and spacecraft attitude control monopropellants, which has problems with high freezing points (about 1 ℃). When the satellite or spacecraft is used in a low temperature space environment, it is necessary to provide heating or thermal insulation means to the entire propellant supply system to prevent the hydrazine from freezing in the low temperature environment, rendering the engine inoperative.
Nitrous oxide solves the above problems very well and can react with many hydrocarbon fuels, such as ethanol, methane, propane, etc.

Referring to fig. 2, a two-component nitrous oxide engine is provided according to an embodiment of the present invention. Nitrous oxide has the possibility of realizing a deep space exploration task of about 223.15K in a low-temperature environment in the near future. The freezing point of nitrous oxide is 183K.
Nitrous oxide is used as a propellant for a bipropellant engine and has the same working principle with a hydrazine monopropellant engine, the catalyst needs to be heated, and in the working process of the engine, in order to prevent the catalyst from generating local stress and being damaged due to overlarge gradient change of the temperature inside and outside the catalyst. Further, in the case of a two-component engine, when high saturated vapor pressure nitrous oxide is used, a different supercharged gas system can be obtained by filling the liquid temperature, and even if the saturated vapor pressure of the fuel is not too high, the vapor pressure of nitrous oxide gas can be used as the fuel supercharged gas, thereby reducing the number of system components and the difficulty of design. To achieve two-component engine operation, nitrous oxide in combination with a hydrocarbon fuel requires an ignition device to achieve combustion.
Specifically, the two-component nitrous oxide engine in the present embodiment includes a thrust chamber 10 and a heating device 20.
The thrust chamber 10 comprises a decomposition chamber 11 and a combustion chamber 12 which are communicated with each other, the volume of the decomposition chamber 11 is smaller than that of the combustion chamber 12, a catalyst 40 is placed in the decomposition chamber 11, and the combustion chamber 12 is provided with a first propellant inlet 121 for nitrous oxide to enter and a second propellant inlet 122 for other hydrocarbon fuels to enter; the heating device 20 is used to heat the catalyst 40 in the decomposition chamber 11.
The catalyst 40 of the present invention is a substance capable of decomposing nitrous oxide into gaseous oxygen and gaseous nitrogen with high efficiency. For example, the catalyst 40 carrier is a catalyst using aluminum, magnesium and rhodium. Alternatively, the catalyst 40 of the present invention may also suitably use noble metals such as rhodium, ruthenium and palladium, and the catalyst carrier is selected from SiO2Or Al2O3. Using these catalysts, nitrous oxide can be decomposed into gaseous oxygen and gaseous nitrogen at near 100% efficiency.

Nitrous oxide has a stable chemical nature, does not cause harm to the human body when inhaled in small amounts, and is also approved as a food additive. When the nitrous oxide is used as a propellant of a mono-component engine, the fuel gas generated by catalytic decomposition is non-toxic. Based on the relatively high saturated vapor pressure of nitrous oxide (e.g., about 0.64Mpa at-223.15K and about 7.25Mpa at 309K), the use of pressurized gas may not be required when nitrous oxide is used as a propellant in conventional engines, and nitrous oxide itself may be used as the pressurized gas.

Because of the toxicity of dinitrogen tetroxide (N) used in the conventional two-component nitrous oxide engine2O4) Hydrazine (N)2H4) Unlike the propellants of (a) the nitrous oxide/hydrocarbon fuel combination does not have the characteristic of self-ignition at normal temperatures and therefore an additional ignition device needs to be provided. The ignition mode can adopt gaseous oxygen-containing high-temperature fuel gas or high-temperature combustion gas generated by mixing and combusting nitrous oxide catalytic decomposition gas and fuel. Therefore, if the mixture of fuel and nitrous oxide can be ignited by the heat generated by catalytic decomposition of a small amount of nitrous oxide, the ignition device and the required propellant of the igniter can be reduced, resulting in a simple structure, reduced weight, and simplified control procedure.
