본 연구에서는 LFG와 LNG의 혼합연료의 연소가스측 열전달 특성을 LFG, LNG 단독 연료와 비교함으로써 실험적으로 연구하였다. 실험을 위하여 파일럿 연소시스템을 제작하였으며, 연소시스템의 열교환부에는 수직 수평 배플을 가지는 다관형 열교환기를 설치하였다. 실험은 연료 주입 방식, 저위발열량, 메탄의 조성(44.5%, 54.5%)의 서로 다른 조건에서 수행되었다. 본 연구를 통하여 동일한 레이놀즈 수에서 LNG의 연소가스측누셀트 수는 LFG보다 큼을 알 수 있었으며, LFG의 경우에 LFG와 LNG 혼합 연료가 LFC 단독 연료보다 큼을 확인하였다. 따라서, LFG를 사용하는 경우 LFG 단독 연료를 사용하기보다는 LFG에 LNG를 적절히 첨가시켜 사용하는 것이 열전달이 향상되며, 발생 LFG의 공급 불안정성을 완화하는데 기여할 수 있다고 판단된다.

Nuclear accidents such as Fukushima Daiichi have highlighted the potential of passive safety systems to replace or complement active safety systems as part of the overall prevention and/or mitigation strategies. In addition, passive systems are key features of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), for which they are becoming almost unavoidable and are part of the basic design of many reactors available in today's nuclear market. Nevertheless, their potential to significantly increase the safety of nuclear power plants still needs to be strengthened, in particular the ability of computer codes to determine their performance and reliability in industrial applications and support the safety demonstration. The PASTELS project (September 2020-February 2024), funded by the European Commission "Euratom H2020" programme, is devoted to the study of passive systems relying on natural circulation. The project focuses on two types, namely the SAfety COndenser (SACO) for the evacuation of the core residual power and the Containment Wall Condenser (CWC) for the reduction of heat and pressure in the containment vessel in case of accident. A specific design for each of these systems is being investigated in the project. Firstly, a straight vertical pool type of SACO has been implemented on the Framatome's PKL loop at Erlangen. It represents a tube bundle type heat exchanger that transfers heat from the secondary circuit to the water pool in which it is immersed by condensing the vapour generated in the steam generator. Secondly, the project relies on the CWC installed on the PASI test loop at LUT University in Finland. This facility reproduces the thermal-hydraulic behaviour of a Passive Containment Cooling System (PCCS) mainly composed of a CWC, a heat exchanger in the containment vessel connected to a water tank at atmospheric pressure outside the vessel which represents the ultimate heat sink. Several activities are carried out within the framework of the project. Different tests are conducted on these integral test facilities to produce new and relevant experimental data allowing to better characterize the physical behaviours and the performances of these systems for various thermo-hydraulic conditions. These test programmes are simulated by different codes acting at different scales, mainly system and CFD codes. New "system/CFD" coupling approaches are also considered to evaluate their potential to benefit both from the accuracy of CFD in regions where local 3D effects are dominant and system codes whose computational speed, robustness and general level of physical validation are particularly appreciated in industrial studies. In parallel, the project includes the study of single and two-phase natural circulation loops through a bibliographical study and the simulations of the PERSEO and HERO-2 experimental facilities. After a synthetic presentation of the project and its objectives, this article provides the reader with findings related to the physical analysis of the test results obtained on the PKL and PASI installations as well an overall evaluation of the capability of the different numerical tools to simulate passive systems.
