Abstract
In this study, we propose a method to estimate the characteristics of infrared radiation of the exhaust system during the design of a turbofan engine based on the overall design parameters in the context of infrared stealth. We initially establish a model to predict the distribution of the velocity and temperature fields, as well as the concentration of gas inside the cavity of the exhaust system and the plume based on the parameters of temperature and pressure of the inner and outer mixing sections of the culvert. Following this, we develop models to predict the intensity of infrared radiation of the plume perpendicular to the axis of the nozzle (α = 90°) along with the exhaust system along the axis of the nozzle (α = 0°). A comparison between the predictions of the proposed model and the results of numerical calculations showed that the error was no larger than 7 %. Another comparison between the predictions of the proposed model and experimental data showed that the error was little larger than 11 %. The proposed model can thus be used to predict the characteristics of infrared radiation of the turbofan engine in the design stage.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Thermal Sciences is a journal devoted to the publication of fundamental studies on the physics of transfer processes in general, with an emphasis on thermal aspects and also applied research on various processes, energy systems and the environment. Articles are published in English and French, and are subject to peer review.
The fundamental subjects considered within the scope of the journal are:
* Heat and relevant mass transfer at all scales (nano, micro and macro) and in all types of material (heterogeneous, composites, biological,...) and fluid flow
* Forced, natural or mixed convection in reactive or non-reactive media
* Single or multi–phase fluid flow with or without phase change
* Near–and far–field radiative heat transfer
* Combined modes of heat transfer in complex systems (for example, plasmas, biological, geological,...)
* Multiscale modelling
The applied research topics include:
* Heat exchangers, heat pipes, cooling processes
* Transport phenomena taking place in industrial processes (chemical, food and agricultural, metallurgical, space and aeronautical, automobile industries)
* Nano–and micro–technology for energy, space, biosystems and devices
* Heat transport analysis in advanced systems
* Impact of energy–related processes on environment, and emerging energy systems
The study of thermophysical properties of materials and fluids, thermal measurement techniques, inverse methods, and the developments of experimental methods are within the scope of the International Journal of Thermal Sciences which also covers the modelling, and numerical methods applied to thermal transfer.
