The th...The HCPB concept has been a European DEMO reference concept for nearly one decade. Detailed thermal-hydraulic study on the control behavior of the whole system is one of the important parts of this development. The thermal-hydraulic effect of the TBM-combined cooling circuit during a cyclic operation in ITER has been studied using the system code RELAP5. The RELAP5 is based on an one-dimensional, transient two-fluid model for the flow of a two-phase steam-water mixture that can contain noncondensable components like Helium. The RELAP5models are modified to take the cyclic operation of the circulator, heat, exchanger, bypass, valves etc in to account. A sequence of operational phases is investigated, starting from the cold state through the heating phase that brings the system to a stand-by condition, followed by typical power cycles applied in ITER. The results show that the implemented control mechanisms keep the inlet temperature to the TBM and the total mass flow rate at the required values through all phases.展开更多

The EI-Batsh deposition model was used to predict the particle deposition characteristics. The results show that the console hole has an obvious advantage in reducing particle deposition in comparison with cylindrical hole, especially under higher blowing ratio. The coolant jet from console holes can cover the wall well. Furthermore, the rotation direction of vortices near console hole is contrary to that near cylindrical hole. For console holes, particle deposition mainly takes place in the upstream area of the holes.展开更多

There were three influencing factors： the radius R of the water- cooled pipe, and the pipe spacing L1 and L3. The influence rule of different factors on the cooling effect and thermal stress of the plate were studied, for which the influence rank was respectively R 〉 L1 〉 L3 and L3 〉 R 〉 L1. The highest temperature value decreased when R and L1 increased~ and the maximum thermal stress value dropped when R, L1 and L3 increased. The final optimized results can be summarized as： R equals 6 mm or 7 mm, L1 equals 19 mm, and L3 equals 20 mm. Compared with the initial design, the highest temperature value had a small decline~ and the maximum thermal stress value dropped by 19~ to 24~. So it was not ideal to improve the cooling effect by optimizing the geometry sizes of the water-cooled structure, even worse than increasing the flow speed, but it was very effective for dropping the maximum thermal stress value. The orthogoaal experimental method reduces the number of experiments by 80%, and thus it is feasible and effective to optimize the water-cooled structure of the divertor plate with the orthogonal theory.展开更多

All types of samples were studied by XRD, optical absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The presence of LiF stabilises the cubic cell dimension, and the content of lanthanide fluorides presents influence on phases formed, as well as the crystallinity of the system, in both the spontaneously and rapidly-cooled systems. The photoluminescence properties of the investigated systems are dependent on the lanthanide fluoride content. The intensity of the emission bands, corresponding to the Sm3+ ion, reaches the maximum when the Sm content is x(SmF3)=0.03. An even stronger dependence is observed of optical properties on the morphology of the samples, i.e. whether the samples are spontaneously cooled or processed by the RSP method followed by mechanical grinding. Mechanical grinding enhances the luminescent properties and leads to higher emission intensities. It is also shown that the photoluminescent spectroscopy is suitable for detection/approval of lowered local symmetry via significant splitting of spectral bands.展开更多

This paper presents an experimental investigation into the effects of pure Ag and AgAu alloys sheath materials on the properties of Bi(2223) multifilamentary tapes and the optimisation of conduction cooled hybrid current leads made from copper and Bi(2223)/Ag or Bi(2223)/AgAu tapes. The thermal conductivity of the tapes were measured by cryogenic steady heat flux method and the resistance was measured by using standard DC four probe method at low temperature. The results showed that the reduction of thermal conductivity by the addition of Au into the sheath material of Bi(2223) tapes was 65 0 0, 75 0 0 and 85 0 0 lower than that of pure Ag sheathed Bi(2223) tapes and the increase of resistivity was 4.9 , 10 and 19.4 times higher than that of pure Ag for the addition of 2.2 0 0, 5.7 0 0 and 10.7 0 0Au(atom ratio) respectively. And the study also attempts to optimise thermodynamically the conduction cooled hybrid current lead by using a developed model, which took the irreversibility of commercial GM coolers, the contact resistance and thermal conductance into account. Predictions from the model showed that AgAu alloys were suitable candidate materials to replace Ag as sheath material of Bi(2223) tapes applied in HTS current leads. In addition, Bi(2223)/AgAu was a suitable material to be applied as the HTS section of hybrid current leads in conduction cooled superconducting electric systems.展开更多

Results showed that kaolin would make the best choice for the design of a naturally cooled building.

文摘An orthogoual experimental scheme was designed for optimizing a water-cooled structure of the divertor plate. There were three influencing factors： the radius R of the water- cooled pipe, and the pipe spacing L1 and L3. The influence rule of different factors on the cooling effect and thermal stress of the plate were studied, for which the influence rank was respectively R 〉 L1 〉 L3 and L3 〉 R 〉 L1. The highest temperature value decreased when R and L1 increased~ and the maximum thermal stress value dropped when R, L1 and L3 increased. The final optimized results can be summarized as： R equals 6 mm or 7 mm, L1 equals 19 mm, and L3 equals 20 mm. Compared with the initial design, the highest temperature value had a small decline~ and the maximum thermal stress value dropped by 19~ to 24~. So it was not ideal to improve the cooling effect by optimizing the geometry sizes of the water-cooled structure, even worse than increasing the flow speed, but it was very effective for dropping the maximum thermal stress value. The orthogoaal experimental method reduces the number of experiments by 80%, and thus it is feasible and effective to optimize the water-cooled structure of the divertor plate with the orthogonal theory.

文摘Samples of(LiF-CaF2)eut-x SmF3(-x GdF3)(x=0.03-0.50) were prepared by spontaneous cooling as well by very fast cooling(using the rapid solidification processing(RSP) method) which provide two types of sample morphology: riffle-like and sphere-like fragments. All types of samples were studied by XRD, optical absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The presence of LiF stabilises the cubic cell dimension, and the content of lanthanide fluorides presents influence on phases formed, as well as the crystallinity of the system, in both the spontaneously and rapidly-cooled systems. The photoluminescence properties of the investigated systems are dependent on the lanthanide fluoride content. The intensity of the emission bands, corresponding to the Sm3+ ion, reaches the maximum when the Sm content is x(SmF3)=0.03. An even stronger dependence is observed of optical properties on the morphology of the samples, i.e. whether the samples are spontaneously cooled or processed by the RSP method followed by mechanical grinding. Mechanical grinding enhances the luminescent properties and leads to higher emission intensities. It is also shown that the photoluminescent spectroscopy is suitable for detection/approval of lowered local symmetry via significant splitting of spectral bands.
文摘It′s important that HTS tapes have lower thermal conductivity and higher transversal resistivity in order to reduce the heat leaks conducted along the tapes and AC losses in the high temperature superconducting system conduction cooled by GM coolers. This paper presents an experimental investigation into the effects of pure Ag and AgAu alloys sheath materials on the properties of Bi(2223) multifilamentary tapes and the optimisation of conduction cooled hybrid current leads made from copper and Bi(2223)/Ag or Bi(2223)/AgAu tapes. The thermal conductivity of the tapes were measured by cryogenic steady heat flux method and the resistance was measured by using standard DC four probe method at low temperature. The results showed that the reduction of thermal conductivity by the addition of Au into the sheath material of Bi(2223) tapes was 65 0 0, 75 0 0 and 85 0 0 lower than that of pure Ag sheathed Bi(2223) tapes and the increase of resistivity was 4.9 , 10 and 19.4 times higher than that of pure Ag for the addition of 2.2 0 0, 5.7 0 0 and 10.7 0 0Au(atom ratio) respectively. And the study also attempts to optimise thermodynamically the conduction cooled hybrid current lead by using a developed model, which took the irreversibility of commercial GM coolers, the contact resistance and thermal conductance into account. Predictions from the model showed that AgAu alloys were suitable candidate materials to replace Ag as sheath material of Bi(2223) tapes applied in HTS current leads. In addition, Bi(2223)/AgAu was a suitable material to be applied as the HTS section of hybrid current leads in conduction cooled superconducting electric systems.
