粒径与形状对逆向位移活塞式供粉性能的影响

    Influence of particle size and shape on performance of reverse displacement piston powder feeding device

    • 粉末燃料供给系统直接影响粉末冲压发动机的稳定性、安全性与推进性能,为此提出一种逆向位移气动活塞式供粉装置,采用Fluent与EDEM软件耦合仿真分析了铝粉粒径、形状对供给过程的影响规律。结果表明:供粉过程中,供粉罐底部形成稳定堆积层,供粉管下方形成锥形颗粒堆,气流驱动铝粉向中心汇聚并连续输送,形成动态稳定的粉末分布;粒径减小可显著提高供粉效率,当粒径从150 µm减小至50 µm时,供粉效率提升约47.8%;当铝粉纵横比介于1∶1.5~1∶2.5时,有利于稳定流态的快速建立;但纵横比为1∶2.5时,稳态质量流率下降约15%。综上,该装置推荐选用粒径50~150 µm、纵横比小于1∶2的铝粉。

       

      Abstract: The powder fuel feeding system directly affects the operating stability, safety and thrust performance of the powder-fueled ramjets. Therefore, a reverse-displacement pneumatic piston powder feeding device was proposed. The effects of aluminum powder particle size and morphology on the steady-state feeding process were analyzed via a coupled Fluent-EDEM simulation.The results show that a stable packed layer is formed at the bottom of the powder hopper during feeding, with a conical particle pile accumulating beneath the feeding pipe. The airflow drives the aluminum powder to converge toward the center for continuous conveying, forming a dynamically stable powder particle distribution. Decreasing particle size markedly improves feeding efficiency. When the particle size is reduced from 150 μm to 50 μm, the efficiency rises by around 47.8%. Aluminum powders with aspect ratios ranging from 1∶1.5 to 1∶2.5 promote the rapid formation of a stable flow regime. However, the steady-state mass flow rate is decreased by about 15% when the aspect ratio reaches 1∶2.5. In summary, it is recommended that aluminum powder with a particle size of 50 μm to150 μm and an aspect ratio less than 1∶2 should be used in this feeding device.
