KIVA3V를 이용하여 모형 가스터빈 연소기에서 Jet-A의 분무와 연소에 관한 수치해석을 하였다. 연소기 형상은 6개의 희석홀을 가지며, 스월효과를 고려하였다. 연소 특성을 해석하기 위해 열적 NO 발생을 고려하였다. 다양한 분무각에 대해서 Jet-A 증기, 화염온도 분포와 NO 발생량에 대하여 비교하였다. 분무각이 커질수록 1차 영역에서 연료 증기가 비교적 고르게 나타나게 되며 증발이 더욱 빠르게 되고, 주변 기체와 연료 증기 사이의 혼합이 증가한다. 그 결과 고온부가 넓게 나타나게 되고, 이에 의해 열적 NO 발생이 증가한다.

When the reactor vessel is penetrated in a severe accident of light water reactor, the molten fuel-coolant interaction including the jet breakup occurs and the jet breakup length becomes one of the important parameters. Most numerical studies on jet breakup process have been carried out using dedicated computer codes. Some researchers are trying to apply commercial CFD codes to their investigations on comprehensive jet breakup process. However, the complexity of the phenomena limits the CFD application only to hydrodynamic aspects. In the present study, numerical analysis of jet breakup under vapor generation is pursued using the STAR-CCM + code. The obtained CFD prediction of the MATE09 experiment shows jet breakup progression patterns consistent to the images taken in the experiment. Further, the predicted positions of leading head, which determine the jet breakup length, are in good agreement with the MATE 09 data. The investigation of hydrodynamic effects on the jet breakup with higher jet velocity results in a stronger shear force and earlier jet breakup process even though there exists the vapor pocket around the corium jet. In future studies, the effect of vapor intensity on the jet breakup length would be investigated further by changing other parameters.

적외선 흡수법을 사용하여 액체 헵탄 수직분사제트의 증기농도를 정성적으로 측정하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 모형 램젯 연소기에서 레이저를 이용한 적외선 흡수법으로 액체연료의 분열부터 기화까지의 과정을 이해하는 것이다. 실험결과로부터 헥산 증기 몰분율은 온도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으나 연료공기 운동량비 변화에 대해서는 큰 차이가 나지 않았다.

Jet pump in automotive fuel tank module is used to deliver fuel to fuel pump so that the pump is operated without aeration in suction side. In this study, three dimensional simulation model of jet pump is developed to understand performance variation over design parameters. Performance of jet pump is also investigated experimentally in terms of operating pressures. The experimental data is used to verify the three dimensional simulation model of jet pump. Verification results show that the three dimensional simulation model of jet pump is about 1% error with experiment. The simulations are conducted in terms of throat ratio and primary flow induction angle. As the throat ratio is increased, the flux ratio is trade-off at 3 times of throat diameter. On the other hand, as primary flow induction angle is increased, vapor pressure inside the nozzle is decreased. In summary, the results show that liquid jet pump has to be optimized over design parameters. Additionally, high velocity of induced flow is able to evolve cavitation phenomena inside the jet pump.

Vapor explosions can be classified in terms of modes of contact between the hot molten fuel and the coolant, since different contact modes may affect fuel-coolant mixing and subsequent vapor explosion energetics. It is generally accepted that most vapor explosion phenomena fall into three different modes of contact; fuel pouring into coolant, coolant injection into fuel and stratified fuel-coolant layers. In this study, we review previous stratified steam explosion experiments as well as recent experiments performed at the KTH in Sweden. While experiments with prototypic reactor materials are minimal, we do note that generally the energetics is limited for the stratified mode of contact. When the fuel mass involved in a steam explosion in a stratified geometry is compared to a pool geometry based on geometrical aspects, one can conclude that there is a very limited set of conditions (when melt jet diameter is small) under which a steam explosion is more energetic in a stratified geometry. However, under these limited conditions the absolute energetic explosion output would still be small because the total fuel mass involved would be limited.

The exciplex fluorescence technique with the TMPD (tetamethyl-Ρ-phenylene-diamine) / naphthalene dopant system was applied in a combustion-type constant-volume spray chamber. A detailed set of calibration experiments has been performed in order to quantify the TMPD fluorescence signal. It has been demonstrated that the TMPD fluorescence intensity was directly proportional to concentration, was independent of the chamber pressure, and was not sensitive to quenching by either water vapor or carbon dioxide. Using a dual heated-jet experiment, the temperature dependence of TMPD fluorescence up to 1000 K was measured. The temperature field in the spray images was determined using a simple mixing model, and an iterative solution method was used to determine the concentration and temperature field including the additional effects of the laser sheet extinction. The integrated fuel vapor concentration compared favorably with the measured amount of injected fuel when all of the liquid fuel had evaporated.

This paper report our preliminary results of characterizing the jet structures of kerosene injection into quiescent atmosphere and a Mach 2.5 crossflow at various preheat temperature. A heating system has been designed and tested that can prepare heated kerosene of 0.8 kg up to 670 K at a pressure of 5.5 ㎫. Temperature measurement near the injector shows that the temperature of pressurized kerosene can be kept constant during the experimental duration. Comparison of kerosene jet structures in the preheat temperature range of 290-550 K demonstrates that with injection pressure of 4 ㎫ the jet plume turns into vapor phase completely at injection temperature of 550 K, while keeping the penetration depth essentially unchanged. The results suggest that the injection of vaporized fuel would improve the performance of a liquid hydrocarbon-fueled supersonic combustor because the evaporation process is now omitted.

In liquid metal fast breeder reactors, postulated failures of the plant protection system may lead to serious unprotected accidental consequences. Unprotected transients are generically categorized as transient overpower accidents and transient under cooling accidents. In both cases, core meltdown may occur and this can lead to a molten fuel coolant interaction (MFCI). The understanding of MFCI phenomena is essential for study of debris coolability and characteristics during post-accident heat removal. Sodium is used as coolant in liquid metal fast breeder reactors. Viewing inside sodium at elevated temperature is impossible because of its opaqueness. In the present study, a methodology to depict MFCI phenomena using a flat panel detector based imaging system (i.e., real time radiography) is brought out using a woods metal-water experimental facility which simulates the $UO_2-Na$ interaction. The developed imaging system can capture attributes of the MFCI process like jet breakup length, jet front velocity, fragmented particle size, and a profile of the debris bed using digital image processing methods like image filtering, segmentation, and edge detection. This paper describes the MFCI process and developed imaging methodology to capture MFCI attributes which are directly related to the safe aspects of a sodium fast reactor.

Experiments have been conducted to clarify flame spread behavior over electrical wire near the end of wire with applied AC electric fields. It is seen that the flame spread behavior near the end of wire with applied AC electric fields are quite different from that in temporally linearly-increasing flame position. The flame spread behavior can be categorized into three regimes based on the relevance of flame shape and the slanted direction of spread flame to spread rate. Detailed explanations on the characteristics are made through thermal balance mechanism. Also, the effect of drop of molten PE and fuel vapor-jet in flame spread is also discussed.
