Effects of O2/H2O on RP-3 kerosene ignition and flame propagation: A combined experimental and kinetic modeling study
Understanding the spontaneous ignition and flame propagation characteristics of RP-3 kerosene in O2/H2O mixtures is critical for advancing chemical kinetic modeling and optimizing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)/kerosene bipropellant rocket engines. This study integrates experimental measurements with kinetic modeling to systematically investigate RP-3 combustion behavior under O2/H2O atmospheres. Ignition delay times (IDTs) and laminar flame speeds (LFSs) of RP-3 in O2/H2O environments are quantified using a high-pressure shock tube (HPST) and a constant-volume combustion vessel. Two combustion mechanisms are developed for RP-3/O2/H2O systems, consisting of a comprehensive reaction mechanism (184 species, 1252 reactions) and a small-scale mechanism (40 species, 121 reactions). The predictive capability and accuracy of these mechanisms are validated through experimental measurements of IDTs and LFSs, ensuring their accurate representation of the combustion performance of RP-3 kerosene in O2/H2O environments. A comparative analysis with the combustion performance of RP-3 in air under equivalent conditions is also conducted. To unravel the underlying reaction pathways, systematic sensitivity analyses and rate-of-production (ROP) diagnostics are implemented to investigate key reactions and mechanisms affecting IDTs, LFSs, and key species formation. The role of H2O in the combustion process of RP-3/O2/H2O is also investigated, and a preliminary analysis is conducted on the combustion characteristics of RP-3 kerosene under different pyrolysis atmospheres of H2O2.
