摘要:
利用相似理论和数值模拟对压气机中真实气体气动与工质热物性耦合影响性能的问题进行解耦,对比研究了不同进口工况下超临界二氧化碳离心压气机特性和内部流场,探讨了近临界点真实气体物性变化和冷凝对压气机焓增、效率、堵塞边界的影响。结果表明:真实气体效应的影响可分为蕴含于气动性能参数热力学定义中的热力学影响和蕴含于压气机内部流场中的气动影响,其中气动影响占主导;研究气动影响时可借助相似性能参数排除热力学层面的干扰,当真实气体效应增强时,工质压缩性的减弱将导致叶轮扭速降低从而使相似焓增减小,叶轮负荷的减轻会减小负荷相关气动损失从而使相似效率提升,两相流的存在以及喉道冷凝诱发的提前堵塞会导致堵塞边界的前移。
Abstract:By utilizing similitude theory and numerical simulation, the coupling effects of real-gas aerodynamics and thermophysical properties on the performance of compressors were decoupled. The characteristics and internal flow fields of a supercritical carbon dioxide centrifugal compressor were investigated under different inlet conditions, and the real-gas effects on the enthalpy increase, efficiency, and choke margin of the compressor were explored. The results showed that real-gas effects on the compressor performance can be divided into two categories: thermodynamic effects inherent in the thermodynamic definitions of the performance parameters and aerodynamic effects within the compressor's internal flow field. Among them, aerodynamic effects played a dominant role. By leveraging similitude parameters, the thermodynamic effects can be eliminated. When the real-gas effects were intensified, the reduction in fluid compressibility decreased the impeller’s Euler work, leading to a reduction in enthalpy increase. The alleviation of the blade loading reduced load-related aerodynamic losses, thereby improving the efficiency. The presence of two-phase flow and the onset of choking at the throat led to the reduction of choke margin.
