摘要: 为研究通过固态氧控有效调节铅铋合金(LBE)系统氧浓度的方法,本文通过修正液态LBE腐蚀经验公式,结合氧化铅(PbO)溶解模型,基于集总参数法并使用FORTRAN语言自编程序计算LBE系统氧浓度;据此研究主回路流量、质量交换器(MX)内温度、PbO装量对自主设计的小型LBE系统的MX供氧性能的影响;初步建立MX设计准则,获得一定约束条件下MX供氧性能及其氧控旁路设计参数。本研究可为LBE系统氧控旁路的设计和计算提供参考,同时提供一种高效求解LBE系统瞬态氧浓度和腐蚀的计算方法,为建立氧浓度模型预测系统提供新思路。Abstract: In order to explore the method for efficiently regulating the oxygen concentration of lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) system by solid-phase oxygen control, this study calculates the oxygen concentration of LBE system by the self-programmed code in FORTRAN language based on the lumped parameter method, by correcting the empirical formula for liquid LBE corrosion and in combination with the PbO dissolution model, and then studies thereby the effects of the main loop flow rate, temperature in the mass exchanger (MX), and PbO inventory on the MX oxygen supply performance of the independently designed small LBE system, to establish the preliminary design criteria of MX thus to obtain the oxygen supply performance of MX and design parameters of oxygen supply bypass under certain constraints. This study can provide a reference for the design and calculation of the oxygen control bypass of LBE system, and also present an efficient approach to calculating the transient oxygen concentration and corrosion of the LBE system to give a new insight into establishing the oxygen concentration model prediction system.
