Abstract

In an effort to determine the combined effects of major parameters of heat exchanger tubes on the nucleate pool boiling heat transfer in the scaled in-containment refueling water storage tank (IRWST), a total of 1,966 data for q'quot; versus ${\Delta}T$ has been obtained using various combinations of tube diameters, surface roughness, and tube orientations. The experimental results show that (1) increased surface roughness enhances heat transfer for both horizontal and vertical tubes, (2) the two heat transfer mechanisms, i.e.,enhanced heat transfer for both horizontal and vertical tubes, (2) the two heat transfer mechanisms, i.e., enhanced heat transfer due to liquid agitation by bubbles generated and reduced heat transfer by the formation of large vapor slugs and bubble coalescence are different in two regions of low heat fluxes (q'quot; $\leq$50kW/$m^2)$ and high heat fluxes (q'quot; $\geq$50kW/$m^2)$ depending on the orientation of tubes and the degree of surface roughness, and (3) the heat transfer rate decreases as the tube diameter is increased for both horizontal and vertical tubes, but the effect of tube diameter on the nucleate pool boiling heat transfer for vertical tubes is greater than that for horizontal tubes. Two empirical heat transfer correlations for q'quot;, one for horizontal tubes and the other for vertical tubes, are obtained in terms of surface roughness $({\varepsilon})$ and tube diameter (D). In addition, a simple empirical correlation for nucleate pool boiling heat transfer coefficient $(h_b)$ is obtained as a function of heat flux (q'quot;) only.ucleate pool boiling heat transfer coefficient $(h_b)$ is obtained as a function of heat flux (q'quot;) only.

축소한 격납용기 내부 핵연료재장전수저장탱크의 안쪽에 설치한 열교환기 튜브의 주요 매개변수들이 풀핵비등 열전달에 미치는 복합적인 영향을 극명하기 위해 튜브 외경, 표면 거칠기, 그리고 튜브 설치 방향에 대한 다양한 조합들을 환용하여 열유속 q'quot;와 과열 온도 차이 $\Delta$T 간의 관계에 대한 총 1,966 개의 실험값을 취득하였다. 이 실험 결과들에 의하면, (1) 표면 거칠기 증가는 수평 및 수직 튜브 모두에 대해 열전달을 향상시키고, (2) 기포 생성에 따른 두가지 열전달 기구인 주변 액체 운동증가에 의한 열전달 향상과 기포층 및 기포 군집 형성에 의한 열전달 감소는 50㎾/$m^2$의 열유속을 경계로 낮은 열유속과 높은 열유속 영 역 에서 서로 다르게 관찰되는데, 이것은 튜브 설치 방향과 표면 거칠기의 크기와 관련이 있으며, (3) 튜브 외경 증가는 수평 및 수직 튜브 모두에 대해 열전달을 감소시키는데, 그 영향정도는 수평보다 수직구조에서 더 크다. 수평 및 수직 튜브들에 대해 열유속 q'quot;와 표면 거칠기 ($\varepsilon$) 및 튜브 외경 (D) 사이의 관계를 결정하는 두 가지 실험식을 개발하였다. 그리고, q'quot;만의 함수로된 풀핵비등 열전달계수( $h_{b}$ 에 대한 간단한 실험식도 부가적으로 개발하였다. 실험식도 부가적으로 개발하였다.'quot;만의 함수로된 풀핵비등 열전달계수($h_{b}$ 에 대한 간단한 실험식도 부가적으로 개발하였다.
