Abstract

In this study, a forced ignition method with a plasma jet torch is studied in Mach 2 laboratory scaled wind-tunnel. The hyper-mixer is used as a mixer. For two normal injection cases, the one is collided against a wedge plate of the hyper-mixer and the other is directly injected into the cold main flow. For the first case, the hyper-mixer disperses the injected fuel, leading to the mixing enhancement. Furthermore, the fuel-air mixture is provided into the plasma hot gas, which enhances the combustion performance. However, the direct injection into the main flow method spends amount of fuel without ignition in the cold supersonic flow. In the end, for the forced combustion, it is important to supply the fuel-air mixture into the heat source.

본 연구에서는 마하 2의 실험실 규모의 풍동장치에서 플라즈마 제트 토치를 점화기로 사용하여 강제점화에 대한 연소 특성을 연구하였다. 하이퍼 혼합기는 혼합기로 사용되었다. 수직분사의 경우, 하나는 하이퍼 혼합기의 웨지면에 충돌하도록 하였으며, 다른 하나는 차가운 주유동으로 바로 분사되도록 하였다. 하이퍼 혼합기와 충돌하는 경우 충돌된 연료는 분산되며 확산 혼합에 의해 혼합성능이 증대된다. 또한 혼합된 가스는 대부분 플라즈마 제트의 열원으로 유입되어 연소 성능을 증대시킨다. 하지만 주유동으로 직접 분사되는 경우는 초음속의 주유동 내에서 점화되지 못하고 많은 양의 연료가 소비된다. 따라서 강제점화방식의 연소의 경우에는 많은 양의 연료-공기 혼합물을 점화가 가능한 열원으로 공급하는 것이 중요하다.
