Abstract

The loop heat pipe (LHP) is considered for passive cooling systems in nuclear installations. A combined approach of simulation and experimentation is essential for achieving comprehensive knowledge of the LHP. Research on the LHP using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is necessary to understand phenomena that are challenging to ascertain experimentally. This study investigates the temperature distribution and flow characterization in a new LHP model. The method used in this research is simulation using CFD Ansys fluent software. In the simulation, the LHP has an inner diameter of 0.1016 m. This LHP features a wick made from a collection of capillary pipes without a compensation chamber. Demineralized water is used as the working fluid with a filling ratio of 100% of evaporator volume. The hot water temperature in the evaporator section is set at 70°C, 80°C, and 90°C. The temperature on the outer surface of the condenser pipe is determined using experimental temperature inputs. An inclination angle of 5° and an initial pressure of 12,100 Pa was applied to LHP. The CFD simulation results show that the temperature distribution profile under steady-state conditions in the  loop heat pipe appears almost uniform. The temperature difference between the evaporator and condenser remains consistent. The flow of working fluid in the LHP is driven by buoyancy forces and fluid flow, allowing the working fluid in the LHP to flow in two phases from the evaporator to the condenser and then condensate from the condenser back to the evaporator. In conclusion, the temperature distribution and flow patterns in the LHP are consistent with common phenomena observed in heat pipes. This modeling can be used to determine the profiles of temperature distribution and flow in LHP of the same dimensions under various thermal conditions.

Abstract

The utilization of nuclear power brings out a lot of benefits in fulfilling human power needs, however, the thermal incident caused by the failure of an active cooling system because of an earthquake followed by the tsunami such as on the Nuclear Power Plant at Fukushima Dai-Ichi Japan could be taken for lesson learn to keep improve nuclear installation operation safety aspects. Loop heat pipe (LHP) as an alternative cooling system technology could be utilized to handle thermal problems on nuclear installations. This research aims to know the influence of the inclination angle and heat load on the LHP thermal performance. The experimental investigation was performed with varying the inclination angle of 0°, 2.5°, and 5°, and heat load given at 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, and 90°C. LHP was used demineralized water working fluid with a 100% filling ratio. LHP was vacuumed on 2.666,4 Pa. The cooling air velocity in the condenser given by 2,5 m/s. The result of this experiment showed that LHP has the best thermal performance with the lowest thermal resistance of 0.0043°C/W. This result was obtained when the LHP operated with a 5° inclination angle and hot water as the heat load of 90°C. The conclusion from this research is showing better LHP thermal performance as the inclination angle increase on LHP because the steam speed that formed bigger, and condensate flows back to the evaporator faster

Abstract

The severe accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan in 2011 highlighted the critical need for a passive cooling system to dissipate residual decay heat following the failure of active cooling systems in the nuclear facility. The loop heat pipe (LHP) is a promising technology for such applications. The objective of this research is to understand the natural circulation stability phenomena of new LHP model under varying conditions of filling ratio and heat load. The experimental methodology employed a laboratory-scale LHP model made of copper with an inner diameter of 0.104 m. The experiments were designed with filling ratios of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%, and hot water temperature as the evaporator heat source with variations of 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, and 90°C. The initial operating pressure was 10665.6 Pa, with a 5˚ inclination angle, demineralized water as the working fluid, and cooled by air at a velocity of 2.5 m/s. The results show that the natural circulation within the LHP occurs in two phases and maintained stability, with optimal performance observed at an 80% filling ratio and 90°C. The conclusion of this research indicates that natural circulation stability in the LHP operates well and occurs in two phases, proving that natural circulation in the LHP is effective in heat dissipation.

Abstract

Dissimilar welding of copper (Cu) and Stainless Steel 316L (SS316L) presents significant challenges due to their large differences in thermal conductivity and melting temperature, which lead to asymmetric heat distribution and non-uniform penetration. This study aims to evaluate the effect of welding current on temperature distribution and macrostructural characteristics of TIG-welded Cu/SS316L joints using ERCuSi-A filler through an integrated experimental and numerical approach. Welding experiments were conducted at three current levels: 120 A, 135 A, and 150 A on 2.7 mm thick plates. Macrostructural examinations were performed to assess weld bead geometry and penetration behavior. Transient thermal simulations were carried out using ANSYS Workbench to predict temperature fields and thermal gradients. The results indicate that welding current significantly influences weld morphology and thermal behavior. At 120 A, the weld bead was relatively narrow with limited penetration on the Cu side due to rapid heat dissipation. At 135 A, a more uniform fusion profile was achieved, with simulated peak temperatures exceeding 1000°C and an improved penetration balance between Cu and SS316L. At 150 A, deeper penetration into SS316L was observed; however, the heating cycle became shorter and the temperature distribution more localized. Numerical results consistently showed asymmetric temperature fields, where heat diffused rapidly into Cu and concentrated in SS316L. The strong correlation between simulation and macrostructural observations confirms that thermal distribution governs weld geometry and penetration behavior. The 135 A current provides the most balanced fusion characteristics, making it suitable for Cu/SS316L dissimilar joints in heat-transfer applications.
