低流量工况下燃料组件优化设计研究

为了探索适用于模块式小堆（SMR）的燃料组件优化设计,本文针对截短型CF2燃料组件在SMR参数范围下的热工-水力性能开展分析研究,获得搅混格架的间距及布置形式对于燃料组件热工-水力性能的影响规律。研究结果表明:①低流量工况下,搅混格架间距过长或过短都将降低燃料组件的热工性能,设计上应合理考虑搅混格架间距;② 燃料组件加热段上游区域的搅混格架布置对于提升SMR燃料组件的热工性能不明显,设计上在此区域应简化布置;③ SMR在正常运行与事故工况下,燃料组件的中下游区域的状态点参数相对恶劣,在中下游区域合理地设计搅混格架的间距与布置可以显著地提升燃料组件的热工性能,提高热工安全裕量。本文研究结果可为SMR燃料组件的设计优化提供参考。

CFD modeling and performance comparison of solid oxide fuel cell and electrolysis cell fueled with syngas

Reversible solid oxide fuel cells (rSOFCs) may be applied to store and generate electrical energy in a reversible mode. This technique is promising to balance the conflict between intermittent power supply and demand in a sustainable way. One of the limitations of the development of rSOFCs is the high cost of storage and usage of pure H₂, which may be solved by employing syngas as the fuel. The performance of rSOFCs depends on the development of bifunctional materials, cell design, and operation optimization, which are often investigated and predicted by the cost‐effective approach of mathematical modeling. However, the modeling of dual‐mode rSOFCs involving co‐redox reactions with syngas is not well developed. In this study, a two‐dimensional (2D) single‐channel model of an rSOFC is developed. The novelty of this model is that the multiphysics transport processes are fully coupled and solved with the reversible water‐gas shift reaction with syngas and the electrochemical reactions. The effects of the operating conditions and design parameters (eg, electrode thickness) are considered, with the aim of providing guidelines to optimize the design and operation of reversible cells. It is concluded that the thickness of the electrode has a larger impact on the water‐gas shift reaction than on the electrochemical reaction in both the gas diffusion and reaction regions. The C/H element ratio of syngas has a negative correlation with power output, but the distributions of current and gas species may be improved in both modes. A higher operating temperature improves the performance in both modes but has a more substantial effect in the electrolysis mode. The specific design and operating schemes favored in different modes should be balanced in the reversible mode.
