Description

Device and method for measuring steam content of cross section of steam generator tube bundle area
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of two-phase flow measurement and reactor thermal hydraulic power, in particular to a device and a method for measuring the steam content of the section of a tube bundle area of a steam generator.
Background
The steam generator is used as a device for exchanging heat of a primary side and a secondary side of the nuclear power plant, has a crucial position in the whole nuclear power system, and the working performance and the reliability of the steam generator are directly related to the stable operation of the whole nuclear power plant. Damage to the heat transfer tubes of the steam generator due to vibration, corrosion, thermal fatigue, and the like, has a significant impact on the safety and reliability of the nuclear power plant. Therefore, the research on the two-phase flow boiling heat transfer and flow characteristics between the secondary side heat transfer tube bundles of the steam generator has important significance.
The section vapor content (also called void fraction) of the two-phase flow is an extremely important parameter in the research of the two-phase flow, accurate data cannot be obtained through theoretical calculation, and experimental measurement is the only reliable way for obtaining the section vapor content. Due to the diversity of the flow pattern and the complexity of the flow of the vapor-liquid two-phase flow, the measurement of the vapor content of the cross section is always a difficult point of the two-phase flow measurement technology. In a narrow slit channel of a tube bundle at the secondary side of the steam generator, along with boiling heat exchange under the condition of high temperature and high pressure, the measurement of the steam content of the cross section is difficult.
For a long time, scholars at home and abroad make a great deal of research work on the measurement technology of the steam content of the two-phase flow section, and the main measurement methods comprise a quick-closing valve method, a high-speed camera method, a differential pressure method, a capacitance method, a light guide/electric conduction probe method, a ray method and the like. These methods for measuring the steam content of the cross section have been successful to some extent, but have also been inevitably limited to the respective methods.
Both the quick-closing valve method and the high-speed camera shooting method have high measurement accuracy, but the quick-closing valve method needs to cut off fluid and is difficult to measure in real time; the high-speed camera shooting method needs the visualization of a test section and has large workload of image processing in the later period. The two methods are generally applied to experimental research, most of working media are air-water two-phase flow under normal pressure, and in engineering application, particularly in a high-temperature high-pressure tube bundle narrow slit channel of a steam generator, real-time measurement cannot be realized.
The differential pressure method is a simple method for measuring the steam content of a section, in a vertically ascending gas-liquid two-phase flow, the total pressure drop consists of three parts of friction pressure drop, weight pressure drop and acceleration pressure drop, and under a homogeneous model, the steam content of the section can be deduced from the weight pressure drop, so that the accurate weight pressure drop of the two-phase flow needs to be obtained. However, under the condition of secondary side saturation boiling between tube bundles, the ratio of friction pressure drop to accelerated pressure drop is difficult to evaluate, so that the steam rate of the obtained section has great uncertainty.
The capacitance method regards the electrodes arranged on the two-phase flow pipeline as a capacitor, the capacitance value of the capacitor is related to the dielectric constant of a two-phase mixture, and the dielectric constant of the two-phase mixture is related to the dielectric constant of each phase separation and the steam content of the cross section, so that the steam content of the cross section can be obtained by measuring the capacitance value between the two electrodes. The capacitance method is influenced by the flow pattern of the two-phase flow, and different test conditions need a targeted sensor structure; the capacitance method is also susceptible to parameters such as water quality and temperature, so that the measurement method has a plurality of difficulties in measuring the steam content of the cross section between the narrow slits of the tube bundle in the steam generator.
The optical guide/electric conduction probe method is a method for measuring two-phase flow local parameters, can obtain important two-phase flow parameters of accurate local vapor content, bubble speed, bubble size, interface area concentration and the like, has high signal transmission speed and sampling frequency, and has wide application prospect. However, the probe method is an intrusive measurement mode, and inevitably generates interference to a flow field; the local vapor fraction obtained by the probe method is difficult to be related with the cross-sectional vapor fraction, especially for complex flow cross-sections such as tube bundle channels.
The ray method is one of the commonly used methods for measuring the steam content of a cross section, and mainly comprises gamma rays, X rays, neutron rays and the like. The ray method is a non-contact measurement mode, and has high stability because the ray attenuation is not interfered by external conditions, thus being suitable for measuring the vapor content of the section of the vapor-liquid two-phase flow under the conditions of high temperature and high pressure. The ray source is not in direct contact with fluid or even the pipe wall, so that the ray source can be conveniently moved to realize measurement at different positions. The traditional ray measurement method is limited to a round pipe, and the influence of a complex structure in the pipe is not considered. In addition, the operation of the radiation is dangerous, and certain protection needs to be performed on the radiation to ensure the safety of personnel.
Based on the above review of the conventional section vapor content measurement method, each method has its advantages, but the method has limitations. In the steam generator, high-pressure supercooled water is arranged on the primary side, high-pressure saturated steam-water two-phase flow is arranged on the secondary side, and vigorous heat transfer exists between the primary side and the secondary side. In order to measure the steam content of the cross section in the narrow slit channel of the secondary side tube bundle, the following difficulties need to be overcome:
(1) extreme environments of high temperature and high pressure boiling heat transfer;
(2) the narrow slit passage is narrow, so that the interference to a flow field is avoided as much as possible;
(3) complex geometries of the tube bundle zone can be identified;
(4) it is possible to distinguish between fluids that are treated differently on the primary and secondary sides.

FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a ray scanning method for measuring the vapor content of a cross section of a vapor generator, wherein a uniform gamma ray emitted by a radioactive source is shielded by a shielding lead tank, then passes through the vapor generator in a sector shape, and is received by a scintillation crystal detector after being shielded again by a collimator. Assuming that the collimator is thick enough to shield the emitted gamma rays, the scintillation crystal detector can only receive radiation over an area of the inner diameter of the collimator, i.e., the effective radiation that is swept across the steam generator is an elongated cylinder having a diameter equal to the inner diameter of the collimator.
In the process of scanning the steam generator along the measuring section, there are two typical situations, as shown in fig. 3, the left side is that the ray only passes through the narrow slit between the tube bundles, i.e. only passes through the secondary side fluid and does not pass through the primary side fluid; to the right are the rays that will pass through the tube bundle, i.e., through both the secondary and primary side fluids.
The basic law of ray attenuation, lambert-beer law, is:
I=I0exp(-μx)
I0-initial intensity or count rate of gamma rays;
i-intensity or count rate after attenuation of the permeating substance;
μ -linear absorption coefficient of matter for gamma rays;
x-ray is the distance, mm, traveled by the transmission medium.
Lambert-beer law can also be expressed as:
I=I0exp(-(μ/ρ)ρx)
mu/rho-the mass absorption coefficient of a substance for gamma rays, i.e. the ratio of the linear absorption coefficient to the density of the substance.
The mass absorption coefficient is not influenced by the density and physical state of the substance, and is the same for water and water vapor under different conditions.
For the case that the ray only passes through the tube bundle gap, under the condition of gas phase background calibration, the following conditions are provided:
Iair=I0exp(-(μ/ρ)mρmxm-(μ/ρ)airρairx)
Iair-the count rate received by the radiation receiver in full-gas conditions;
(μ/ρ)m-mass absorption coefficient of stainless steel;
ρm-density of stainless steel sleeve;
xm-thickness of the stainless steel sleeve;
(μ/ρ)air-the mass absorption coefficient of air;
ρair-density of air at normal temperature and pressure;
the x-ray penetrates through the thickness of the secondary side in the steam generator sleeve;
under the condition of liquid phase background calibration:
Iwater=I0exp(-(μ/ρ)mρmxm-(μ/ρ)waterρwaterx)
Iwater-the count rate received by the ray receiver in full water conditions;
(μ/ρ)water-the mass absorption coefficient of water and water vapour;
ρwater-density of normal temperature and pressure water;
under the two-phase test conditions:
Itp=I0exp(-(μ/ρ)mρmxm-(μ/ρ)waterρtpx)
Itp-the count rate received by the radiation receiver under biphasic test conditions;
ρtp-density of the secondary side two-phase steam-water mixture;
by formula transformation, neglecting the air density (which brings about an error of about 0.1%), the density of the two-phase steam-water mixture can be obtained:
Figure BDA0001945349440000121
according to the two-phase flow average density model, the following are provided:
ρtp=ρsgα+(1-α)ρsl
ρsg-measuring the saturated vapour density under operating conditions;
ρsl-measuring the saturated liquid density under operating conditions;
so that the steam content alpha of the cross section can be obtained under the condition that the ray only passes through the slit of the tube bundleiFormula for calculation:
Figure BDA0001945349440000122
The steam content of the cross section measured by the above calculation formula is the case shown on the left side of fig. 3, and the corresponding area range is: the length is the chord length of the ray passing through the steam generator cylinder, and the width is the inner diameter of the collimator and takes the inner wall of the steam generator sleeve as a boundary.
For the condition that rays pass through a tube bundle gap and pass through primary side water of the tube bundle, the method comprises the following steps under the condition of gas phase background calibration:
Iair=I0exp(-(μ/ρ)mρmxm-(μ/ρ)airρairx-(μ/ρ)waterρwaterxf)
xf-the thickness of the water on the primary side through which the radiation has penetrated;
under the condition of liquid phase background calibration:
Iwater=I0exp(-(μ/ρ)mρmxm-(μ/ρ)waterρwaterx-(μ/ρ)waterρwaterxf)
under the two-phase test conditions:
Itp=I0exp(-(μ/ρ)mρmxm-(μ/ρ)waterρtpx-(μ/ρ)waterρfhwaterxf)
ρfhwaterdensity of high temperature and high pressure water on the primary side.
By formula transformation, neglecting the air density (which brings about an error of about 0.1%), the density of the two-phase steam-water mixture can be obtained:
Figure BDA0001945349440000131
in contrast to the case where the ray passes through the bundle slit only, and not through the primary side water, the above formula contains a correction factor:
