Abstract

The feasibility of using preheated kerosene and pre-evaporation to assist in liquid kerosene detonation ignition and self-sustaining combustion under near-ramjet limit conditions was investigated. Additionally, the detonation decoupling and self-sustaining mechanisms were analyzed in depth. Owing to the forced heat transfer effect of supersonic flow on kerosene droplets, self-sustaining detonation combustion could not be achieved using preheated kerosene alone. The detonation wave was still decoupled due to the forced heat exchange effect of the cold kerosene droplets on the detonation wave, even if the distribution of C12H23 reached the detonation conditions through the pre-evaporation of fuel.
