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

Passive safety systems have garnered significant attention, particularly in situations where active systems fail. The comprehension of natural circulation phenomena plays a vital role in the advancement of passive cooling systems in nuclear power plants. The objective of this study is to examine the flow patterns under steady state conditions and assess the Grashof number. The experimental approach involved maintaining temperature differences of 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, and 90°C for a duration of 3 hours, with 3 replications. Alterations in temperature have an impact on the physical properties of water, such as density, viscosity, and specific heat. The calculations indicate that the minimum Grashof number occurs at 60°C (2.49×1012), while the maximum is observed at 90°C (9.42×1012), with an R2 value of 0.96533. Turbulent flow patterns were observed during each temperature fluctuation, which aligns with previous research on the Ress value of Grm/NG.

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

In design, control, and safety—especially in PWR reactors—the Reactivity Coefficient parameter is crucial. The validation of every new library for an accurate parameter prediction is then crucial. The purpose of this work is to determine the value of the reactivity coefficient at BOC and EOC using the WIMDS code based on ENDF/B-VIII.0 nuclear data files. The PWR-1175 MWe experiment critical reactors, which use Th-UO2 (thorium) fuel pellets, are a set of light water-moderated lattice experiments that are used for this purpose. The study is applied to the new cross-section libraries for WIMSD-5B and WIMSD-5B with ENDF/B-VIII.0 lattice code. The results showed that the fuel temperature reactivity coefficients for the PWR reactor at BOC and EOC using new libraries are – 4.07 pcm/K and – 2.72 pcm/K, respectively. Moderator Temperature Reactivity Coefficient at BOC and EOC are -1.8E-03 pcm/K and 3.73 pcm/K, respectively. Compared to the experimental data of the reactor core, the difference is in the range of 5.0 %. It can be concluded that for the PWR using thorium fuel as a model, all reactivity coefficients are negative and it is a good design for the safety of operation.

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.
