description | During the working process of the ADN-based thruster, continuously, heat generated by the chemical reaction in the combustion chamber will transfer along the upstream capillary, the propellant in the capillary continuously absorbs heat under the effect of heat transfer from the wall and undergoes a phase change when the saturation temperature is reached. In this study, effects of the downstream heating temperature (623 K to 923 K) on mass flow rate and pressure change in the capillary were investigated based on the established test platform. Simultaneously, the VOF (volume of fraction) model, and the Lee phase transition model coupled with the Navier–Stokes method was utilized to simulate the spatial distribution of the gas-liquid propellant in the capillary. The results show that the ADN-based propellant firstly formed bubbles on the inner wall surface near the exit of the capillary, and these vapor bubbles moved and grew upstream along the capillary. Due to the cooling effect of the ADN-based propellant inflow, the temperature distribution of the front chamber and capillary gradually reached equilibrium. Bubbles were constantly generated in the capillary, and as the heat reflux intensified, the total volume of bubbles in the capillary continued increasing. Single-phase flow, annular flow, wave flow, and segment plug flow appeared sequentially along the axial direction of the capillary, and the proportion of gas phase volume fraction at the capillary outlet section gradually increased. |
