The investigation of cryogenic liquid pool spreading is an essential procedure to assess the hazard of cryogenic liquid usage. In this experimental study, to measure the evaporation velocity when the pool is spreading, liquid nitrogen was continuously released onto unconfined concrete ground. Almost all of the reported results are based on a non-spreading pool in which cryogenic liquid is instantaneously poured onto bounded ground for a very short period of time. A simultaneous measurement of the pool location using thermocouples and of the pool mass using a digital balance was carried out to measure the evaporation velocity and the pool radius. A greater release flow rate was found to result in a greater average evaporation velocity, and the evaporation velocity decreased with the spreading time and the pool radius.

In this study, solutions for a liquid pool spreading model with continuous and instantaneous release are discussed based on the model used in the FERC's report. The effects of the release time on the liquid pool volume and radius are investigated for the continuous release. For the continuous release with the frictional resistance force in the liquid pool spreading model, the vaporization time decreases as the release time increases. On the other hand, for the continuous release without the frictional resistance force in the liquid pool spreading model, the vaporization time increases as the release time increases. These phenomena are deeply related to the pool radius. In addition, the effects of the initial pool radius for the instantaneous release in the liquid pool spreading model are discussed. For the case with the frictional resistance force in the liquid pool spreading model, as reducing release time in the model with the frictional resistance force for the continuous release, the solution for a continuous release approaches to that for an instantaneous release. On the contrary to this, the pool volume and radius for the instantaneous release without the frictional resistance force are totally different from those for the continuous release without the frictional resistance force.

In this study, evaporation of LN2 non-spreading pool on concrete plate was dealt with experimentally. The thermophysical properties of concrete, which is a composite material, were obtained by minimizing the difference between the numerical analysis results obtained from the assumed properties and the results from experiments. The thermal energy required for evaporation of the liquid pool is supplied from the concrete plate and the wall of the container. As a result of the measurement, the thermal energy flowing in from the wall was negligible compared to the one supplied from the concrete plate. It was found that the measured evaporation rate of the liquid pool by the heat energy supplied through the concrete plate agrees well with the PTC model except for the initial section of the experiment. The validity of the semi-infinite assumption and the one-dimensional assumption, which are the main conditions of the PTC model, was also verified through experiments. The evaporation rate model in the non-spreading pool discussed in this study can provide a basic frame for the one in the spreading pool, which is a meaningful result considering that the spreading pool is very realistic compared to the non-spreading pool.

In this study, an experimental investigation is performed for evaluation of a liquid pool spreading model with continuous release. The model considered in this study was developed based on a concept which means that the liquid pool spreading is governed by a balance between an inertia force from gravity and a frictional force from friction with the ground under the whole base of the liquid pool. For evaluation of the model, experimental study is performed. Experimental apparatus is setup for measuring release rate, spreading velocity, and evaporation rate from a liquid pool. The experimental results are compared with results from the model. By applying release and evaporation rates obtained from experiments to solving the model, liquid pool radius variation according to time can be obtained. For evaluation of an effect of friction force in the spreading model, results obtained from the models with and without the friction force are compared with those obtained from the experiments. As a result, it is shown that there exists a large deviation between the results obtained from the model without the friction force and the experimental results. On the other hand, the tendency of liquid pool radius variation according to time is similar between the results obtained from the model without the friction force and the experimental results.

In the present work the second-order perturbation solutions of the simple physical model for liquid pool spreading is obtained for the case of instantaneous spill. To generalize the solution governing equations are non-dimensionalized, and two dimensionless parameters, dimensionless evaporation rate and aspect ratio of the initial pool, are identified to control the governing equations. The dimensional governing equations have three parameters. The second-order solution improves fairly the first-order solution for the pool volume.

증발하면서 원형으로 퍼져가고 있는 액체에 대한 모델을 지배하는 연립 상미분 방정식은 지금까지 수치해석적인 방법으로 풀어 왔는데 본 연구에서 섭동해를 최초로 구하였다. 액체의 순간적인 누출과 연속적인 누출에 대하여 섭동 변수로써 단위면적 당 증발률을 사용하여 1차항까지 섭동해를 구하였다. 1차 섭동해의 계산 결과 풀의 부피에 대하여 초기에는 수치해와 잘 일치 하였으나 후기에는 약간의 차이가 존재하였으며 풀의 반경에 대하여는 두가지 종류의 해가 거의 일치 하였다.

Recently, many research studies have investigated the enormous critical heat flux (CHF) enhancement caused by nanofluids during pool boiling and flow boiling. One of the main reasons for this enhancement is nanoparticle deposition on the heated surface. However, in real applications, nanofluids create many problems when used as working fluids because of sedimentation and aggregation. Therefore, artificial surfaces on silicon and metal have been developed to create an effect similar to that of nanoparticle deposition. These modified surfaces have proved capable of greatly increasing the CHF during pool boiling, and good results have also been observed during flow boiling. In this study, we demonstrate that the wetting ability of a surface, i.e., wettability, and the liquid spreading ability (hydrophilic surface property), are key parameters for increasing the CHF during both pool and flow boiling. We also demonstrate that when the fuel surface in nuclear power plants is modified in a similar manner, it has the same effect, producing a large CHF enhancement.

연속적으로 누출되면서 원형으로 퍼져가고 있는 액체에 대한 모델에 대한 고차 섭동 해를 구하여 1차 섭동 해를 개선하였다. 일반적인 해를 얻기 위하여 무차원화된 지배방정식을 유도하고 무차원 지배 변수를 도출하였다. 무차원 증발계수를 섭동 변수로 이용하였다. 계산 결과 부피 및 확산 반경에 관해서 고차 섭동해가 1차 섭동 해를 개선시키고 있으며, 섭동해의 차수가 증가함 따라 오차를 감소시키는 경향을 보였다. 3차 섭동 해는 수치 해와 거의 일치하고 있어 3차 섭동해의 타당성을 보여주고 있다.

연속적으로 누출되는 극저온 액체의 풀 확산을 액체질소를 사용하여 실험적으로 연구하였다. 본 실험을 위해 Cement mortar 재질의 Plate 위에 액체질소를 연속적으로 누출시켜 Plate 표면에서 풀 확산이 일어나도록 하였다. 전자저울을 이용하여 Plate 위에서 증발되는 액체질소의 단위면적당증발률을 측정했고, 시간에 따라 반경 방향으로 퍼지는 액체풀의 확산 거리는 열전대의 온도 변화로부터 측정하였다. 실험 결과 액체질소의 단위면적당증발률은 풀 확산이 진행될수록 감소하는 경향을 보였다.

A drop impact on the liquid film/pool generates several phenomena such as the drop floating, bouncing, formation of vortex ring, jetting, bubble entrapment and splashing. These phenomena depend on the impact velocity, the drop size, the drop properties and the liquid film/pool thickness. These parameters can be summarized by four main dimensionless parameters; Weber number, Ohnesorge number, Froude number and non-dimensional film/pool thickness. In the present study, the phenomena of the splashing and bubble entrapment due to the drop impact on the liquid film/pool were numerically investigated by using a Level Set method for the sharp interface tracking of two distinct phases. After the drop impact, the splashing phenomena with the crown formation and spreading were predicted. Under the specific conditions, the bubble entrapment at the base of the collapsing cavity due to the drop impact was also observed. The numerical results were compared to the available experimental data showing good agreements.
