The compact tube heat exchanger located behind the air-intake can achieve quick cooling of high-temperature air to ensure the normal operation of the pre-cooled aeroengine. It has great impact on the engine’s performance. The total pressure distribution at the heat exchanger inlet is inevitably uneven due to the influence of the air-intake. This paper studies the effect of three typical inlet distortions with different amplitudes using porous model and dual cell model. The results indicated that the outlet total pressure distortion is not sensitive to the inlet total pressure distortion. However, it affects the total pressure recovery and the total temperature distortion at the outlet by altering the pressure loss in the heat exchanger upstream and the flux distribution at the heat-transfer-zone entrance, respectively. This leads to a reduction of heat transfer. The effect of inlet distortions varies with distortion type. And it becomes more severe with increasing distortion.
Unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) simulation has been conducted to investigate how the flow coefficient affects unsteady impeller loading. Simulations have been carried out at three flow coefficients — near stall, design, and near choke conditions — for a centrifugal compressor with a radial gap of 1.04. For computational efficiency, the unsteady simulation has been conducted for two impeller and diffuser passages via the Fourier transformation method. Unsteady loading is the largest at the near stall condition; second largest at the near choke condition; and smallest at the design condition. Relative to the design condition, the near stall condition shows lower minimum loading, and the near choke condition shows higher maximum loading. Thus, both off-design conditions result in higher unsteady loading than at the design condition. Such increases at off-design conditions stem from the variations in the pitch-wise static pressure at the diffuser vane inlet caused by the diffuser vane incidence.
The surface of 40CrNiMo steel was quenched with a CO2 laser, Charpy impact test was conducted at temperatures of 20, 0, and ?20 °C, and the impact absorption energies were measured. The fracture morphologies were observed with SEM, and the influence of microhardness, residual stress, and retained austenite on mechanical behavior of impact fracture after laser quenching was discussed. The results show that the hardened layer depth is more than 1 mm after laser quenching, and hardness is about 480-500 HV. The fracture morphology of the sample is dimple rupture at a temperature of 20 °C; with the lower temperature the fracture dimples become smaller. At a temperature of ?20 °C, the fracture morphologies change from ductile to brittle, which is mainly cleavage fracture. The increase in surface hardness, production of compressive residual stress, and existence of retained austenite after laser quenching are the main mechanisms of increasing impact toughness. 相似文献
