Wherein the pressure means may be provided inside the hydrogen fuel injection mechanism.
In one embodiment, the hydrogen fuel afterburner further includes a first mixer (not shown) for mixing the hydrogen fuel and the high velocity incoming stream to form a combustible mixture. The hydrogen fuel and the high-speed incoming flow are atomized and mixed by the first mixer to form a combustible mixture, thereby achieving better combustion effect.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in one embodiment, the combustor inlet 100 includes at least one bypass inlet 110; the bypass inlet 110 is used to introduce a bypass airflow into the hydrogen fuel afterburner 10. As shown in fig. 1, the combustor inlet 100 includes only one bypass inlet 110, and correspondingly, the combustor may be a turbojet afterburner, with the high velocity incoming flow 500 being high velocity gas entering the combustor from the engine. As shown in fig. 2, the combustor inlet 100 includes two bypass inlets 110, an inner bypass inlet and an outer bypass inlet, respectively, for introducing an inner bypass airflow into the combustor; the outer duct inlet is for introducing an outer duct airflow into the combustion chamber. Correspondingly, the combustion chamber is a turbofan engine afterburner, and after air is compressed by the fan, part of the air flows into the gas generator and is called connotation air flow; the other part flows around the outer ring of the gas generator to directly generate thrust, which is called as external air flow.
Referring to fig. 1,2 and 8, in one embodiment, the bypass inlet 110 includes at least two; the bypass air and the bypass gas enter the combustion chamber through the bypass inlet 110 to form a high velocity incoming flow 500. The two duct inlets 110 are an inner duct inlet and an outer duct inlet, respectively, and an inner duct air flow is acquired through the inner duct inlet so that the inner duct air flow enters the combustion chamber; and obtaining the outer culvert airflow through the outer culvert inlet so that the outer culvert airflow flows into the combustion chamber. As shown in fig. 8, the inner-duct inlet 111 is provided with an inner-duct hydrogen fuel injection mechanism 300, the outer-duct inlet 112 is provided with an outer-duct hydrogen fuel injection mechanism 300, and fuel is injected through the hydrogen fuel injection mechanisms 300 provided in the inner-duct inlet 111 and the outer-duct inlet 112, respectively. Further, the inner duct inlet 111 and the outer duct inlet 112 are respectively provided with an inner duct pneumatic stabilizer 700 and an outer duct pneumatic stabilizer 700, the structures of the inner duct pneumatic stabilizer 700 and the outer duct pneumatic stabilizer 700 can be consistent, the inner duct pneumatic stabilizer 700 and the outer duct pneumatic stabilizer 700 are simply referred to as a pneumatic stabilizer 700, the pneumatic stabilizer 700 comprises a jet nozzle for jetting at least one of air and fuel and deflecting under the action of the high-speed inflow 500 to form a pneumatic barrier downstream of the pneumatic stabilizer 700, a mixture formed by the fuel and the high-speed inflow 500 is combusted in the pneumatic barrier, and fuel gas generated by combustion flows out of the combustion chamber outlet 200, enters the tail nozzle and is jetted at a high speed to generate thrust. It will be appreciated that the specific structure of the inner and outer bypass hydrogen fuel injection mechanisms may be referred to the hydrogen fuel injection mechanisms described above, and that the pneumatic stabilizer 700 may be integrated with the hydrogen fuel injection mechanism 300.
In some embodiments, the hydrogen fuel afterburner 10 further includes a second mixer for mixing the outer bypass airflow introduced at the outer bypass inlet and the inner bypass airflow introduced at the inner bypass inlet to form the high velocity incoming stream 500. Through setting up interior duct entry and outer duct entry to carry the connecific air current and outer culvert air current separately, improved the stability of fuel burning in the combustion chamber.
Because the oxygen content, the air flow speed, the temperature and the like in the connotation air flow and the connotation air flow are different, in order to improve the combustion efficiency of the fuel in the combustion chamber, the connotation air flow and the connotation air flow need to be mixed according to the preset proportion of the connotation air flow and the connotation air flow; the second mixer is arranged at the rear of the inner duct inlet and the outer duct inlet of the combustion chamber and is used for receiving the inner duct inlet and the inner duct air flow and the outer duct air flow, and mixing the inner duct air flow and the outer duct air flow according to a preset proportion to form high-speed incoming flow, so that the combustion efficiency of fuel in the combustion chamber is further improved.
Referring to fig. 5, in one embodiment, the injection ports 311 are jet nozzles; the jet nozzle is used for injecting the hydrogen fuel into the high-speed incoming flow 500 and deflecting under the action of the high-speed incoming flow 500 to form a pneumatic barrier 610 and a backflow zone 620 for stabilizing flame is formed on the side of the pneumatic barrier 610 away from the high-speed incoming flow 500.
Under the impact of the high velocity incoming flow, the jet deflects along the direction of the high velocity incoming flow to form an arched aerodynamic barrier and to form a recirculation zone behind the aerodynamic barrier for stabilizing the flame. The gas barrier resists most of high-speed inflow, and the gas is sucked and rolled up through the backflow area to continuously ignite the fuel of the combustion chamber, so that the flame is stable, and the continuous progress of combustion is maintained. And a small portion of the high velocity incoming flow may still enter the recirculation zone from both sides of the pneumatic barrier, mixing the fuel and air in the recirculation zone.
In some embodiments, the injection direction of the hydrogen fuel injection mechanism is angled with respect to the flow direction of the high-speed incoming stream. In actual use, fuel may be injected by the hydrogen fuel injection mechanism. When the fuel injection device injects fuel, after initial ignition, the backflow zone can suck and roll fuel gas to continuously ignite fresh oil gas so as to increase the stability of flame.
Specifically, when the temperature of the high-speed incoming flow is relatively high, the injection direction of the hydrogen fuel injection mechanism is zero degrees with the high-speed incoming flow direction, namely, the injection direction of the hydrogen fuel injection mechanism is the same as the high-speed incoming flow direction, so that the fuel injected by the hydrogen fuel injection mechanism flows rapidly under the impact of the high-speed incoming flow, an arch pneumatic barrier is formed rapidly under the action of the high-speed incoming flow, and the fuel in the hydrogen fuel injection mechanism is prevented from spontaneous combustion under the action of the high temperature of the high-speed incoming flow.
When the temperature of the high-speed incoming flow is relatively low, the injection direction of the hydrogen fuel injection mechanism is ninety degrees from the high-speed incoming flow direction, i.e., the injection direction of the hydrogen fuel injection mechanism is perpendicular to the high-speed incoming flow direction, so that atomization and dispersion of fuel injected by the hydrogen fuel injection mechanism are increased.
In addition, when the temperature of the high-speed incoming flow is relatively low, the injection direction of the hydrogen fuel injection mechanism and the high-speed incoming flow direction can be one hundred eighty degrees, and at the moment, the injection direction of the hydrogen fuel injection mechanism is opposite to the high-speed incoming flow direction, so that the flash time of the fuel injected by the hydrogen fuel injection mechanism can be increased, and further evaporation of the fuel is facilitated. By combining the hydrogen fuel injection mechanism and the jet mechanism, the combustion area can be increased, so that the combustion is more sufficient.
If the combustion chamber stops working, the hydrogen fuel injection mechanism can stop injecting fuel, so that high-speed incoming flow can smoothly pass through the combustion chamber, the thrust loss of the combustion chamber is reduced, and the engine obtains larger thrust.
Referring to fig. 6, in one embodiment, the injection port 311 is an expanding injection port, wherein the flow area of the injection port 311 gradually increases along the flow direction thereof, that is, from the inner wall to the outer wall of the jet nozzle, and the size of the injection port 311 gradually increases. The expanded injection ports 311 are more advantageous in atomization of the fuel and mixing of the fuel with air.
In other embodiments, the jet orifice is a converging jet orifice, wherein the flow area of the jet orifice gradually decreases along its own flow direction, i.e., from the inner wall to the outer wall of the jet nozzle, the jet orifice gradually decreases in size. The convergent jet orifice can accelerate jet flow under subsonic conditions, so that the backflow area is larger, and the flame stabilizing effect is better.
Referring to fig. 7, in other embodiments, the flow area of the jet orifice 311 decreases and then increases along the flow direction thereof, that is, from the inner wall to the outer wall of the jet nozzle, and the size of the jet orifice 311 decreases and then increases. The converging-diverging nozzle 311 may produce a supersonic jet when the jet pressure is sufficient, further increasing the jet velocity, causing the jet to expand sufficiently, increasing the recirculation zone. Different jet ports can be designed according to actual needs to control jet speed and mixing coefficient of jet flow, so that backflow areas with different sizes are generated, and the method is suitable for different use scenes and working conditions.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in one embodiment, the hydrogen-fuelled afterburner 10 further comprises a thermally insulating vibration screen 420 disposed inside the casing 410 of the combustor. The heat-insulating vibration-isolating screen 420 is provided around the hydrogen-fuel afterburner 10 to isolate the high temperature and oscillations generated by the combustion of the fuel in the combustor and to improve the safety of the combustor during operation.
In some embodiments, the hydrogen-fuelled afterburner further comprises a turbine aft support plate, a load frame, and a tailstock; the hydrogen fuel injection mechanism can be integrated with at least one of the turbine aft support plate, the load frame, and the aft cone, i.e., form an integral structure.
In some embodiments, the igniter includes an igniter housing, a fuel injector, and an ignition tip. An ignition chamber is disposed within the igniter housing; the outlet of the ignition chamber is directed towards the combustion chamber such that the fuel in the ignition chamber, after being ignited, can be injected into the combustion chamber through the ignition chamber outlet, thereby igniting the combustion chamber with the flame in the ignition chamber. The fuel spray head is fixedly connected to the igniter shell and comprises a fuel nozzle which is tubular and stretches into the ignition chamber; the outlet end of the fuel nozzle extends as a fuel outlet to the outlet of the ignition chamber; the fuel outlet of the fuel nozzle can be convergent, namely the inner diameter of the fuel nozzle can be gradually reduced along the conveying direction of the fuel; the inner diameter of the fuel nozzle may be set to be two sections of a larger and smaller diameter, with the fuel outlet being located at the section of the fuel nozzle where the inner diameter is smaller.
In some embodiments, a diversion hole is arranged on the pipe wall in the middle of the fuel nozzle, one or more diversion holes can be arranged, and when only one diversion hole is arranged, the diversion hole can be oriented to the ignition part of the ignition nozzle; so that the ignition part can ignite the fuel diffused out of the split holes more quickly; when a plurality of the flow dividing holes are arranged, each flow dividing hole can be uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the pipe wall, so that the fuel injected from the flow dividing hole can be uniformly distributed in the whole ignition chamber, and an ignition part of one flow dividing hole facing the ignition nozzle can be arranged; meanwhile, the fuel outlet of the fuel nozzle is convergent, so that the injection speed of the fuel at the flow dividing hole can be adjusted according to the convergence degree of the fuel outlet during design.
The ignition nozzle is fixedly arranged and connected on the igniter shell, the ignition part of the ignition nozzle extends into the side wall of the ignition chamber, the position of the ignition part is positioned on the opposite side of the fuel outlet, when the ignition part generates sparks, the fuel diffused from the flow dividing holes in the ignition chamber can be ignited in advance, the ignited flame burns to the outlet of the ignition chamber, the fuel sprayed out of the fuel outlet is ignited at the outlet of the ignition chamber, and as more fuel is generated at the outlet of the ignition chamber, the flame is sprayed into the combustion chamber to ignite the combustion chamber, so that the ignition performance of the igniter is not influenced by the state of the flow rate, the air-fuel ratio and the like of the mixed gas in the flame tube.
