Original abstract
The Critical heat flux (CHF) for flow boiling of water at low pressure described in this article is over the amount of experimental research and it is still not well described phenomenon. Flow boiling of a liquid is characterized by a high heat transfer from the heated surface into the fluid. However, the nucleate boiling regime is limited by the occurrence of the CHF leading to a possible thermal damage of the heated surface. This phenomenon may occur in a nuclear reactor accident in conditions during depressurization of the primary circuit and the loss of coolant. The article includes a comparison of correlations for low pressure and a description of the experimental loop built at the BUT. The testing loop will be designed as two coaxial tubes. The inner stainless tube will have an outer diameter of 9.1 mm and is internally heated by direct passage of direct current over a length of 700 mm. The external glass tubes of 12,6mm and 18mm inner diameter formed two different annular assemblies. The experimental parameters of outlet pressure and mass flux were varied in the ranges of 150–1500 kPa and 250–4000 kg/(m2 s)
Czech abstract
Fenomén kritického tepelného toku (CHF) při nucené konvekci za nízkého tlaku popsaný v tomto článku je přes množství experimentálních prací stále ne zcela objasněným jevem. Var při nucené konvekci je charakteristický pro vysoké tepelné toky z ohřívaného povrchu do kapaliny. Nicméně režim varu je limitován CHF, který vede k možnosti termického poškození povrchu. Tyto podmínky se mohou vyskytnout v jaderných reaktorech při nehodových stavech s odtlakování primárního okruhu a ztrátě chladiva. Článek obsahuje srovnání korelací pro nízké tlaky a popis stavěné experimentální smyčky. Testovací sekce je navržená jako dvě koaxiální trubky. Vnitřní nerezavějící trubka bude mít vnější průměr 9,1 mm a bude vnitřně vytápěná přímým průchodem stejnosměrného proudu v délce 700 mm. s nevytápěnou skleněnou trubicí. Vnitřní průměr skleněné trubice bude ve dvou variantách 12,6mm a 18mm. Pracovní tlaky a hmotnostní toky smyčky by měli být 150kPa-1500kPa a 250-4000kg/m2s
