Abstract:
The author's method of thermodynamic analysis is used to single out two equations of state for the laminar combustion process: the classical Hugoniot adiabat, which determines the pressure, and the equation of state, which determines the entropy. This allows us to construct a new mathematical model of the laminar process of vibrational combustion of a two-component mixture by closing the classical models of continuum mechanics. The model is phenomenological, which requires its verification. For numerical verification, we chose the well-known experimental fact — the appearance of high-frequency acoustic vibrations described by B. V. Raushenbakh. The conditions for the origin of high-frequency oscillations are obtained in terms of the standard chemical potential. They can substantially disturb the combustion process and may cause a catastrophic break-up of the furnace of the engine structure. A numerical experiment established critical values of the standard chemical potential when high frequency vibrations lead to destruction.
Key words:thermodynamic analysis, mathematical models of the combustion process, the local equilibrium manifold, a laminar combustion process, high-frequency oscillations.
