    Abstract:

    Chemical equilibrium compositions, total temperature and total pressure of HF chemical laser combustor for NF3-D2-He reaction system were calculated by combining minimum Gibbs' free energy method and mass flux conservation principle. Mole flux of F atom as a new parameter that can be used to express yield of F atom was presented. The effect of changing fuels' mass flow rates on combustor's characteristics was analyzed with emphasis. When the compositions proportion in combustor was maintained constant, increasing of mass flow rate of F atom and total pressure of combustor was in proportion to the increasing of total mass flow rate. Changing of total pressure had no obvious impact on adiabatic flame temperature, degree of F2 dissociation, and mole fraction of F atom. The changing of mass flow rates of NF3 or D2 was able to adjust the oxidizer excess factor. In comparison with changing mass flow rate of D2, changing mass flow rate of NF3 could acquire much higher mole fraction and mole flux of F atom, much smaller fluctuating amplitude of combustor's total pressure. Increasing mass flow rate of He decreased adiabatic flame temperature and mole fraction of F atom observably. Whereas degree of F2 dissociation and mole flux of F atom maintained a high level still when primary diluent ratio was less than 15.
