An analysis of the air intake process impacts on powdered fuel compression characteristics
To clarify the influence of the tank intake process on the filling characteristics of powdered fuel in a powder ramjet, a method combining powder pneumatic compression experiments and theoretical analysis is employed to study the impact of intake flow rate, powdered fuel stacking height, and flow regulation process on the powdered fuel volume compression ratio (VCR). Based on the Ergun equation and the modified Kawakita equation, a calculation method for the VCR of powdered fuel during the intake process is proposed. The results indicate that the pressure drop between the upper and lower layers of powdered fuel during the intake process is the key factor leading to the volume compression of powdered fuel. Moreover, the VCR of powdered fuel is positively correlated with the intake flow rate and stacking height. The time when the powdered fuel reaches the maximum volume compression ratio (MVCR) is the same as the time when the change rate of gas pressure in the tank stabilizes. The MVCR of powdered fuel in the intake process is 20 %–45 % greater than that in the piston axial compression process. During the flow regulation process, the MVCR of powdered fuel is only related to the maximum intake flow rate and is independent of the regulation process.
