IGNITION OF HYDRAULIC FLUIDS IN HIGH PRESSURE PIPE SYSTEMS.
Abstract
Research was cntinued on a study of the physi cal processes which govern the ignition, by rapid compression, of hydraulic fluids. The test series on the effect of the length of the test section was completed. The results of these tests indicate that any throttling downstream of the valve can cause increases in the temperature of the driven gas. With such throttling absent, temperatures were slightly higher in the longer test sections in the period following the com pression. The instrumented combustion tests were completed. The liquid charging analysis was simplified and numerical calculations completed for driving pressures from 600 to 2000 psig. Ex perimental and numerical results compare favor ably.
