Pneumatic Performance Study of a High Pressure Ejection Device Based on Real Specific Energy and Specific Enthalpy

Abstract

Abstract:In high-pressure dynamic thermodynamic processes, the pressure is much higher than the air critical pressure, and the temperature can deviate significantly from the Boyle temperature. In such situations, the thermo-physical properties and pneumatic performance can't be described accurately by the ideal gas law. This paper proposes an approach to evaluate the pneumatic performance of a high-pressure air catapult launch system, in which esidual functions are used to compensate the thermal physical property uncertainties of caused by real gas effects. Compared with the Nelson-Obert generalized compressibility charts, the precision of the improved virial equation of state is better than Soave-Redlich-Kwong (S-R-K) and Peng-Robinson (P-R) equations for high pressure air. In this paper, the improved virial equation of state is further used to establish a compressibility factor database which is applied to evaluate real gas effects. The specific residual thermodynamic energy and specific residual enthalpy of the high-pressure air are also derived using the modified corresponding state equation and improved virial equation of state which are truncated to the third virial coefficient. The pneumatic equations are established on the basis of the derived residual functions. The comparison of the numerical results shows that the real gas effects are strong, and the pneumatic performance analysis indicates that the real dynamic thermodynamic process is obviously different from the ideal one.

“…High-pressure gas, as a green energy, is widely applied in aerospace [1][2]. How to miniaturize highpressure compressor becomes an important research field [3][4]. High-pressure gas can be achieved by multistage compression and multistage compressors are often large in volume and weight in industry so far.…”

Optimization of the Internal Ballistic Performance of Supercritical Nitrogen Ejection

“…They pointed out that high pressure would cause the physical properties of the working substance to deviate from the ideal gas, so using the real gas state equation is more accurate. Ren et al [11] proposed a method to evaluate the aerodynamic performance of a high-pressure air ejection system by using the residual function to compensate for the uncertainty caused by the real gas effect. Li et al [12] constructed the ejection equations by fitting the physical parameters through the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) database.…”
