Optimization of Temperature Measurement Method for High-Pressure Gas Flow Standard Facility Based on Sonic Nozzle Array

To improve the accuracy of the wind tunnel test, relying on the high-pressure gas source of the China Aerodynamic Research and Development Center, a secondary flow standard facility based on a sonic nozzle array was developed, with a pressure range of (1~6) MPa and a flow range of (0.12~5.55) kg/s....

description To improve the accuracy of the wind tunnel test, relying on the high-pressure gas source of the China Aerodynamic Research and Development Center, a secondary flow standard facility based on a sonic nozzle array was developed, with a pressure range of (1~6) MPa and a flow range of (0.12~5.55) kg/s. Currently, most facilities use the average temperature measured by the temperature array to represent the upstream temperature of the sonic nozzle array. However, the small flow calibration test results showed that the maximum temperature difference upstream of the standard sonic nozzle array was 1.97 K, and the temperature field upstream of the sonic nozzle array showed non-uniformity, so the above method cannot accurately obtain the upstream temperature. To solve this problem, each nozzle used in the standard sonic nozzle array was accurately measured by temperature sensors. The uncertainty of the facility and the discharge coefficient of the calibrated nozzle between the two methods were compared. The results showed that compared with the discharge coefficient obtained using the temperature sensor array of 0.9902, the accurate measurement of 0.9904 was closer to the National Institute of Metrology, China (NIM) traceable result of 0.9907, and the relative uncertainty of the facility was reduced from 0.124% (<i>k</i> = 2) to 0.120% (<i>k</i> = 2).
