Abstract

In this paper, an unsteady analytical model for the thermal stratification in the pressurizer surge line of PWR plant has been proposed to investigate the temperature profile, flow characteristics, and thermal stress in the pipe. In this model, the interface level, between hot and cold fluid, is assumed to be a function of time while the other models had developed for time independent or steady state. The dimensionless governing equations are solved by using a SIMPLE (Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations) algorithm. The analysis result for an example shows that the maximum dimensionless temperature difference is about 0.78 between hot and cold sections of pipe wall and the maximum thermal stress by thermal stratification is calculated about 276 MPa at the dimensionless time 27.0 under given conditions.

본 논문에서는, 가압경수로 발전소의 가압기 밀림관내 비정상상태의 열성층현상에 대한 계산 모델을 제안하여 배관내의 온도분포, 유동특성 및 열응력에 대해 연구하였다. 경계면이 시간에 따라 변화가 없거나 정상상태에서 개발된 다른 모델과는 달리 본 모델에서는 고온 및 저온유체 사이의 경계면을 시간의 함수로 가정하였다. 열성층현상에 대한 무차원지배방정식은 SIMPLE 알고리즘을 사용하여 해를 구하였다. 본 수치계산의 결과는 주어진 조건하에서 무차원시간이 약 27.0 일 때 배관의 고온부 및 저온부사이의 최대무차원온도차는 0.78정도이었고, 이때의 열성층 현상에 의한 최대 열응력은 276 MPa로 계산되었다.
