Abstract(17) PDF(0)

Abstract:
A typical three-loop pressurized water reactor (PWR) as reference planted is chose, and the PWR severe accident analysis models based on RELAP5/SCDAP/MOD3.2 code are developed. The best estimate calculation of hot leg large break LOCA of 18 cm without mitigating measures is performed. The mitigating capability of injection to the accident is studied when peak core surface temperature reaches 1100 K, 1300 K and 1500 K respectively. The results show that the injection occasion plays an important role in the accident progression. Injection during early stage will prevent core from melting effectively. However, injection during later stage may deteriorate the progression of severe accident and accelerate of core melt.

Abstract(19) PDF(0)

Abstract:
The microstructure of the alloy specimens which were melted with the impure uranium and pure uranium respectively,and their hydrided specimens were analyzed by OM and SEM,moreover,the composition of the hydrided specimens were studied by SEM-EDS.The results showed that the contents of impurity elements of Fe and C were both higher in the impure uranium-contained specimen than in the pure uranium-contained specimen,in which the elements were more homogenously distributed in the zirconium hydride matrix.There was great difference of expansion coefficient between the precipitate which consisted of the elements of U,C,a little Fe and zirconium matrix in the impure uranium-contained hydrided specimen,thus when the volume of zirconium matrix increased due to absorbing hydrogen,the precipitate as a secondary phase pinned in the matrix so that the stress was concentrated resulting in the hydrided specimen cracking.In the pure uranium-contained hydrided specimen,the elements of U and C which existed in the form of zirconium carbide relatively homogenously distributed in the zirconium hydride matrix,and the stress in the hydrided specimen did not concentrate so that the hydrided specimen did not cracked.

2012, 33(4): 44-49.

Abstract(21) PDF(0)

Abstract:
During severe accident in PWRs,the cladding oxidation with steam in the core is very important to the accident process.When oxidation time is long,or oxidation occurs in steam starvation conditions,the parabolic rate correlations based on experiments are restricted,which impacts the prediction of cladding failure,hydrogen production,and temperature.According to Fick’s laws,a cladding oxidation model in a wide temperature range based on diffusion equations is developed.The developed oxidation model has a wider applicability than those parabolic rate correlations,and can simulate long-term experiments well.The restricted assumptions of short-term oxidation time and enough steam environment in the core implemented by those parabolic rate correlations are removed in the model,therefore this model perfectly fit for long-term and steam starvation conditions which are more realistic during a severe accident.This model also can obtain detailed oxygen distribution in the cladding,which is helpful to simulate the cladding failure in detail and develop advanced cladding failure criteria.

Abstract(17) PDF(0)

Abstract:
The experiments were conducted in a positive pressure system to investigate the absorption spheres pile after the pneumatic conveying interruption and the restart characteristics.The ambient air was used as the source gas.The absorption spheres were replaced by the glass spheres.The average pile height in the conveying pipe of the experiment system was 1172 mm,which was ~11% of the transport pipe height,as the pneumatic conveying interruption happened at the steady state stage.The continuing spheres supply from the feeder during the blower flow rate decreasing process should be the main factor for the pile up amount of spheres in the conveying pipe.The spheres amount in the steady state conveying line was only ~10% of the pile amount.The maximum and steady state pressure drop of the gas-solid conveying line in the restart process were approximately equal to those of the normal start process.

Abstract(22) PDF(1)

Abstract:
Flow excursion in helically coiled tube steam generator of high temperature gas-cooled reactor（SG） was analyzed by numerical simulation based on a one-dimensional model.Drift-flux model for the water/steam side and compressible flow model for helium side were used.Results of dynamical simulation show that flow excursion may occur under certain conditions,which results in remarkable differences of mass flow rate and temperature between the parallel tubes.The analysis of pressure-drop versus mass flow rate curve reveals that power input is the main parameter that affects the onset of flow excursion.With the increasing of power input,flow excursion occurs at larger range of mass flow rate.To increase the inlet resistance and sub-cool degree is helpful to avoid the onset of flow excursion.Stability maps were also presented.

2012, 33(4): 91-95.

Abstract(18) PDF(0)

Abstract:
Numerical simulations on steady state behavior of supercritical water natural circulation in a rectangular loop were carried out.Different expressions of gravitational pressure drop were evaluated.The calculation results indicated that with the heat load variation,the mass flow rate of the steady-state natural circulation obtains a maximum value when the heater outlet temperature is near the pseudo-critical temperature,and the maximum value decreases with an increase in heater inlet temperature.The density difference and velocity difference between the heater inlet and outlet increase when the temperature of the whole heater moves towards the pseudo-critical area,while the pressure drop decreases in this condition.The evaluation of the gravitational pressure drop expressions indicated that when the expression proposed by Ornatskiy and Razumovskiy was used to calculate the gravitational pressure drop in a relatively long tube（2 meters）,the results were lower than those obtained from integral method which could be considered to be the real gravitational pressure drop,and the maximum error was near 30 percent.On the basis of Simpson integral method,a new method was proposed to calculate the gravitational pressure drop.The new method showed more satisfactory and could be adopted in experimental data analysis.

2012, 33(4): 106-110.

Abstract(12) PDF(0)

Abstract:
The heat transfer characteristics in forced circulation in narrow rectangular channels under the operation condition of constant coolant average temperature have been experimentally and theoretically studied.The result shows that the heat transfer temperature difference between wall and water increases linearly with the Reynolds number in the laminar flow region,however,when the flow comes into the turbulent flow region,the heat transfer temperature difference nearly keeps constant with the increase of Reynolds number.The above phenomena were explained through the analysis of heat transfer mechanism.In addition,the larger the temperature differences between inlet and outlet,the smaller the Nusselt number.The reason that the temperature difference has effects on heat transfer characteristics is that the proportion of thermal resistance in the viscosity sub layer has been changed.

Abstract(19) PDF(0)

Abstract:
Local void fraction of air-water bubbly flow in an inclined circular tube（ID 50mm） was obtained by optical fiber probe method.The results show that the averaged void fraction decreases with the increasing of the inclined angle,whereas its trend is moderated when the inclined angle larger than 5 degree.The void fraction nearly does not change with radius except in the near wall region where it has a peak value and falls to the minimal value in vertical condition and the typical saddle pattern profile is observed.Under inclined condition,bubbles move to the upper wall and congregate,therefore,the wall peak in the upper near wall region is enhanced nevertheless is weakened in the lower near wall region,even disappears with a larger inclined angle.

Abstract(21) PDF(0)

Abstract:
The theoretic model of MCORGS code,which is used in this paper to evaluate the effect of the volume ratio between uranium and water（VR） on a fusion-fission hybrid for energy production,is introduced.It is showed that at natural uranium case,the VR of 2:1 is preferred,since it can reach a comprise between energy multiplication and tritium breeding ratio,and the neutronics performance of the system can maintain more than 100 years.At the case of spent fuel from PWR,there are more room for selection of VR.Both energy multiplication and tritium breeding ratio will improve,however the fissile material breeding capacity will degrade.
