Predicted and measured output parameters of high pressure jet SOG

Abstract

Jet singlet oxygen generator (JSOG) is one of the most efficient sources of electronically excited O 2 ( 1 (Delta) ). The JSOG can operate at very high partial O 2 ( 1 (Delta) ) pressure. This feature of JSOG allows supersonic COIL operation without water vapor trap. The prediction of output parameters of JSOG is very important for correct design and engineering of COIL. The one-dimensional model of JSOG has been developed to predict output parameters (chlorine utilization, O 2 ( 1 (Delta) ) yield). The comparisons of calculated and measured output parameters are presented. The main attention is paid to discrepancies of calculated and measured output parameters and limitation of the one-dimensional model. It is shown that for extremely high pressure JSOG the role of effects that cannot be included into a one-dimensional model is very important. The difference between input and output BHP temperature in JSOG is correlated with chlorine utilization and O 2 ( 1 (Delta) ) yield.
