Abstract

Multiphase flow channel is commonly applied in various industrial contexts, including lab-on-a-chip, nuclear power plants, microelectronics cooling systems, and chemical microreactors. Equipment ranging from mini to micro sizes plays a vital role in enhancing heat and mass transfer processes during the mixing of two or more phases. Non-uniform phase distribution during the passage of a two-phase flow through a T-junction can cause performance issues in the downstream region. A problem arising from the use of T-junctions is the occurrence of slugs. An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effect of varying bend radius on the flow characteristics in the downstream region of a T-junction minichannel, such as slug velocity and frequency. The slug velocity was researched in the downstream region of the horizontal minichannel T-junction. The working fluid used was air as the gas phase and water. The findings indicate that there is a linear relationship between the superficial velocities of air and water and the corresponding slug velocity in the downstream area of the horizontal minichannel T-junction, as observed through the utilization of a high-speed camera and MATLAB program for image processing. It has been observed that the local velocity within the channel increases as the corner radii increase towards the downstream region.

Abstract

This research is aimed to investigate the accuracy and cost-effectiveness of numerical simulation method for the study of flow in a waterwheel system by comparing the results to the results of experiment, as well as by comparing the computational load of various solution schemes. The simulation is performed using Ansys Fluent with sliding mesh interface (SMI) method to treat the interface between rotating waterwheel region and static channel region. The governing equations are solved using the SIMPLE and Coupled schemes, and the effects of spatial and temporal resolutions are investigated. In general, the values of torque and power and the flow patterns obtained using numerical simulation are in a good agreement with those obtained using the experiment, which confirms the reliability of the simulation method. Considering the accuracy and computational load, it is recommended to use the Coupled scheme instead of the SIMPLE scheme for numerical simulation using SMI method.

Abstract

The use of passive cooling systems as a reactor safety measure has become a key approach to preventing future incidents similar to the Fukushima Daiichi NPP accident. These systems operate based on natural circulation, a process driven by temperature differences and elevation between the heat source and heat sink. Key design factors, such as the inclination angle of the rectangular loop, significantly influence this circulation. This study aims to investigate the effects of different inclination angles of the rectangular loop and variations in the initial water temperature in the Water Heating Tank (WHT) on the flow rate and heat removal capability. The research was conducted experimentally using a natural circulation rectangular loop facility, FASSIP-04 Ver.0, which has an inner diameter of 26.64 mm, a rectangular loop height of 2280 mm, and a width of 780 mm. The experimental variations were achieved by adjusting the water temperature inside the WHT to 50°C, 70°C, and 90°C. Meanwhile, the inclination angle of the loop was set to 30°, 60°, and 90° mass flow rate and heat removal capability was influenced by both the loop inclination angle and the water temperature in the WHT. The highest values were observed at a 90° inclination angle and a set temperature of 90°C, with a mass flow rate of 0.0241 kg/s, and heat removal rates of qH = 0.791 kW, qC = 0.489 kW. The resulting buoyancy force was stronger under these conditions, leading to greater heat removal through natural circulation compared to free convection, thereby increasing both mass flow rate and heat removal efficiency.
