Experiment and Simulation on a New Swirl-Jet-Type Singlet Oxygen Generator

the singlet oxygen generator (sog) is the heart of chemical oxygen iodine laser. a new swirl-jet-type sog was proposed which consists of a reaction part and a separation part. planar laser-induced fluorescence combined with maximum entropy method were used to study the droplet size distribution, and a modified muschelknautz model and computational fluid dynamics were used to simulate the separation efficiency of vapor and liquid phases. the results of the net reaction predict 99.2% conversion of chlorine and 42.2% yield of singlet oxygen, demonstrating the superiority of the new type of sog.
