  • To validate the cooling characteristics of supercritical pressure aviation kerosene on metal test sections under high thermal loads, numerical simulations were employed to obtain relevant experimental conditions. The influence of cooling water flow rate on the heat transfer within the test section walls was discussed. The experiments verified the impact of cooling fuel flow rate on the cooling effectiveness and the temperature distribution on the gas-side wall of the test section. Simulations were conducted to model the effect of gas inlet temperature distribution on the wall cooling performance. The following conclusions were drawn: for each cooling fuel flow rate, there existed a corresponding cooling water flow rate that minimized the impact of the water cooling channel on fuel cooling. As the cooling fuel flow rate increased, both the average and maximum temperatures on the gas side gradually decreased. Experimental data showed that under an average mainstream gas temperature of 904 K in the test section, when the cooling fuel flow rate reached its maximum value of 0.09 kg/s, the highest wall temperature on the gas side can be reduced to 539 K. The experimental values were slightly higher than the corresponding simulation values, with a simulation error within 12%, and the relationship between the maximum temperature of the gas side wall surface and the required cooling fuel flow per unit area of the gas-side wall surface was fitted into an empirical formula. Under the influence of 2200 K gas at the test section inlet, the gas-side wall temperature first decreased sharply and then slightly increased. Supercritical pressure fuel can control the metal wall temperature below 920 K.
