The mass attenuation coefficients, total interaction cross-sections and effective atomic numbers of xPbO:(100 − x)B2O3 (where 30 x 70% weight) glass system have been investigated on the basis of the mixture rule. The results are good agreement with the theoretical values, calculated by WinXCom. Mass attenuation coefficients were increased with increase PbO content, due to increase effective atomic number of glass samples, which increase probability of photoelectric absorption in glass. However, Compton scattering gives dominant contribution to the total mass attenuation coefficients for studied glass samples. Their shielding properties of glass samples are also better than ordinary shielding concretes and commercial window glass which can be used with advantage as transparent in visible region. These results are indicating the potential of glasses in radiation shielding materials. 相似文献

Comprehensive and critically assessed cross sections for the electron-impact excitation and ionization of ground state and excited helium atoms are presented. All states (atomic terms) with n4 are treated individually, while the states with n5 are considered degenerate. For the processes involving transitions to and from n5 levels, suitable cross section scaling relations are presented. For a large number of transitions, from both ground and excited states, convergent close coupling calculations were performed to achieve a high accuracy of the data. The evaluated/recommended cross section data are presented by analytic fit functions, which preserve the correct asymptotic behavior of the cross sections. The cross sections are also displayed in graphical form. 相似文献

The main part of a narrow support element (NSE) of the W7-X superconducting coil system is an aluminium bronze pad, PVD coated on its spherical surface with MoS2, which slides against the flat surface of the stainless steel coil housing, coated with MoS2 spray. The operational requirements of the NSEs are: vacuum of p < 10−6 mbar, temperature T 4 K, maximum load P 1500 kN, typical displacement ≤5 mm, smooth sliding and no stick-slip events. The paper describes test results obtained with a downscaled NSE at T = 4.2 and 77 K. During the test the NSEs were submerged in liquid helium and nitrogen, respectively. Whereas the LN2 test ran smoothly for up to 15,000 cycles, the test in LHe showed stick-slip from the very first cycle. The stick-slip disappeared after 50 cycles. Post mortem analysis of the tested parts revealed that in case of LHe the sprayed MoS2 film was removed during the first 30–100 cycles by blistering and flaking. The reason for the loss of adhesion at LHe temperature is not known, several possible causes are under discussion. Further experiments under vacuum and at T 4 K are being prepared which are expected to help in clarifying the issue. 相似文献

Comparative effects between the interfacial shear condition and the trailing-corner radius () on the wake vortex of a bubble are studied. In the investigation, the standard k– model is employed, and the two types of bubble: solid and gaseous, have different interfacial boundary condition. Namely, for solid bubbles the no-slip condition is imposed, resulting in a non-zero interfacial shear condition, while for gaseous bubbles the free-slip condition is imposed, yielding a zero interfacial shear condition. The flow condition is set for a slug flow with the bubble drifting at a terminal velocity corresponding to the Reynolds number of 35,000. The results show that, the flow can be roughly divided into two flow regimes: the small- and large- regimes. In the small- regime, the trailing-corner radius plays a dominant role and the difference in the interfacial shear condition has little effects on the wake vortex, causing the wake vortices of the two bubble types to be similar in shape, size, and circulation. In contrast, in the large- regime, the interfacial shear condition can manifest and affect flow separation and the wake vortex, causing significant differences between the wake vortices from the two bubble types. Namely, as is increased towards the large- regime, the wake vortex of the solid bubble changes relatively little while that of the gaseous bubble significantly decreases in size. At small- the circulations around the wake vortex of both types of bubble are almost identical initially. However, as is increased towards the large- regime, the circulation of the gaseous bubble decreases with increasing at a more pronounced rate than that of the solid bubble. These results show that it is the absence of interfacial shear in the large- regime that causes the wake vortex to be more sensitive to the trailing-corner radius. 相似文献

The microstructure evolution of 17-4 precipitation hardening (17-4PH) stainless steel during long-term aging at 350 °C was studied mainly by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that the matrix is lath martensite and the precipitation of nano-metric particles of -Cu phase after the alloy has been subjected to solution and temper treatment. When the alloy is aged at 350 °C to 9 months, some reversed austenite is formed and the -Cu precipitates are coarsening according to ripening process. When the alloy aged from 9 to 12 months, some bulk secondary carbides, M23C6, are precipitated. With the age time extended to 15 months, an amount of reversed austenite is transformed and the G-phase, a kind of intermetallic compound, precipitation occurs nearby the -Cu precipitates in the matrix at this intermediate temperature. 相似文献

This paper presents the results of a numerical experiment on the influence of the void fraction profile on the distribution parameter C0 in a horizontal bubbly two-phase flow. It was shown that for non-symmetric void fraction profiles, which occur normally in horizontal flows, the distribution parameter may be less than 1. In this case, the ratio of the volumetric flow quality β to the average void fraction α can also be less than 1. 相似文献

This paper reports the results from the experiments conducted on the coolability of corium melt during a severe accident scenario when the bottom head is full of the core melt, undergoing natural circulation. These experiments are part of the EC-FOREVER Program in which vessel failure experiments have also been performed. The experiments are performed in a 1/10th scale vessel (400 mm diameter and 15 mm wall thickness) and the oxidic melt employed is the mixture CaO + B2O3 at 1400 K, representing the corium melt mixture of UO2 + ZrO2.The experiments employed an initial phase, during which uniform volumetric heating of the melt was provided and the vessel was pressurised to 25 bar, for several hours, to generate maximum creep deformation of 5%, in order to provide the conditions for the formation of a gap between the melt-pool crust and the bottom head wall. After this phase, the vessel was flooded with water.Data were obtained on only the vessel and the melt pool temperatures in one of the EC-FOREVER experiments reported here. In the second experiment, however, besides the temperature data, additional data were obtained on the steam flow rate and the heat transfer to the water, at the upper face of the melt pool, as a function of time.It was found that the gap cooling mechanism was not effective in reducing the vessel wall temperatures after water flooding. Post-test examinations revealed that the water ingression extended to the depth of only 60 mm in the melt pool. The character of the heat transfer to the water from the melt pool upper surface was found to be similar to that observed in the MACE tests for the coolability of an ex-vessel melt pool flooded by water at the top. 相似文献

Droplet entrainment correlation in vertical upward co-current annular two-phase flow 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Upward annular two-phase flow in a vertical tube is characterized by the presence of liquid film on the tube wall and entrained droplet laden gas phase flowing through the tube core. Entrainment fraction in annular flow is defined as a fraction of the total liquid flow flowing in the form of droplets through the central gas core. Its prediction is important for the estimation of pressure drop and dryout in annular flow. In the following study, measurements of entrainment fraction have been obtained in vertical upward co-current air–water annular flow covering wide ranges of pressure and flow conditions. Comparison of the experimental data with the existing entrainment fraction prediction correlations revealed their inadequacies in simulating the trends observed under high flow and high pressure conditions. Furthermore, several correlations available in the literature are implicit and require iterative calculations.Analysis of the experimental data showed that the non-dimensional numbers, Weber number (We = ρgjg2D/σ(Δρ/ρg)1/4) and liquid phase Reynolds number (Ref = ρfjfD/μf), successfully collapse the data. In view of this, simple, explicit correlation was developed based on these non-dimensional numbers for the prediction of entrainment fraction. The new correlation successfully predicted the trends under the high flow and high pressure conditions observed in the current experimental data and the data available in open literature. However, in order to use the proposed correlation it is necessary to predict the maximum possible entrainment fraction (or limiting entrainment fraction). In the current analysis, an experimental data based correlation was used for this purpose. However, a better model or correlation is necessary for the maximum possible entrainment fraction. A theoretical discussion on the mechanism and modeling of the maximum possible entrainment fraction condition is presented. 相似文献

The monitoring results of gross α and gross β activity from 2001 to 2005 for environmental airborne aerosol samples around the Qinshan NPP base are presented in this paper. A total of 170 aerosol samples were collected from monitoring sites of Caichenmen village, Qinlian village, Xiajiawan village and Yangliucun village around the Qinshan NPP base. The measured specific activity of gross α and gross β are in the range of 0.02 - 0.38 mBq/m^3 and 0.10 - 1.81 mBq/m^3, respectively, with an average of 0.11 mBq/m^3 and 0.45mBq/m^3, respectively. They are lower than the average of 0.15 mBq/m^3 and 0.52mBq/m^3, of reference site at Hangzhou City. It is indicated that the specific activity of gross α and gross β for environmental aerosol samples around the Qinshan NPP base had not been increased in normal operating conditions of the NPP. 相似文献

In this validation work two turbulence models (k– and SST model) and two grids (a finer hybrid grid and a tetrahedral coarser grid) are considered in order to model helium release and dispersion. Simulation results are compared against an experiment of jet release phenomena in the Battelle Model Containment facility (BMC), a multi-compartment facility with a total volume of about 560 m3. In the selected test, HYJET Jx7, helium was released into the containment at a speed of 42 m/s over a time of 200 s. Although the k– model is the most commonly used turbulence model in most Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) applications, it does not provide the most accurate predictions for this application. Alternatively the SST turbulence model has been employed giving more accurate results. This investigation provides a further confirmation that the validation of commercial CFD codes is always required in order to select the more suitable physical models and computational grids for each specific application. 相似文献

Investigated are the effects of the molecular weight of the working fluid, reactor exit temperature, and shaft rotation speed on the size and number of stages of the turbo-machine as well as the performance of high temperature reactor (HTR) plants with actively cooled reactor pressure vessel and direct or indirect Closed Brayton Cycles (CBCs). The present analyses for working fluids of helium (4 g/mol) and the 15 g/mol He–Xe and He–N2 binary mixtures are performed for a reactor thermal power of 600 MW, shaft rotation speed of 3000–9000 rpm, and reactor exit temperature from 973 K to 1223 K. For the plants with indirect CBCs, the analyses assume a temperature pinch of 50 K in the IHX. Results show that the CBC compression ratio is relatively low (2.6 for He and He–Xe and 3.2 for He–N2), increases very little with increasing the reactor exit temperature and near the maximum thermal efficiency of the plant. For the plants with a direct helium CBC, the thermal efficiency increases from 42% to 51% as the reactor exit temperature increases from 973 K to 1223 K, respectively, versus 37% to 47% for the plants with indirect He-CBC. The HTR plants with indirect He–Xe and He–N2 CBCs and operating at a turbine inlet temperature of 1123 K have slightly higher thermal efficiencies (45.9% and 45.8%) than the He plant with indirect CBC (45.6%), generating 1.6 MWe more electrical power. The molecular weight of the working fluid has a very small effect on the plant thermal efficiency, but significantly reduces the size and number of stages of the CBC turbo-machine. Increasing the shaft rotation speed also decreases the size and number of stages of the CBC turbo-machine. 相似文献

Multiphase flows consist of interacting phases that are dispersed randomly in space and in time. An additional complication arises from the fact that the flow region of interest often contains irregularly shaped structures. While, in principle, the intraphase conservation equations for mass, momentum, and energy, and their initial and boundary conditions can be written, the cost of detailed fluid flow and heat transfer analysis with explicit treatment of these internal structures with complex geometry and irregular shape often is prohibitive, if not impossible. In most engineering applications, all that is required is to capture the essential features of the system and to express the flow and temperature field in terms of local volume-averaged quantities while sacrificing some of the details. The present study is an attempt to achieve this goal by applying time averaging after local volume averaging.Local volume averaging of conservation equations of mass, momentum, and energy for a multiphase system yields equations in terms of local volume-averaged products of density, velocity, energy, stresses, and field forces, together with interface transfer integrals. These averaging relations are subject to the following length scale restrictions:
