Description

Experimental device and method for measuring liquid metal two-phase flow parameters
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of experimental research on two-phase flow characteristics of liquid metal, and particularly relates to an experimental device and method for measuring two-phase flow parameters of liquid metal.
Background
Since the last century, liquid metal cooled reactors have been recognized as one of the most promising types of reactors in the fourth generation by virtue of their inherent safety, high thermal efficiency and unique advantages in nuclear fuel proliferation and nuclear waste transmutation. With the continuous and intensive research and design work of liquid metal cooled reactors, the safety assessment work of liquid metal cooled reactors becomes more and more necessary. The liquid metal two-phase flow phenomenon is widely applied to safety analysis work of the liquid metal cooled reactor, such as cracking accidents of heat transfer pipes of a steam generator, fission gas release accidents caused by fuel cladding breakage, covering gas entrainment and the like. When the gas phase in the liquid metal two-phase system enters the reactor core of the liquid metal cooling reactor, various transient changes, such as cavitation reactivity introduction accidents, heat transfer deterioration of the surface of a fuel cladding and the like, are triggered, so that the research on the flow characteristics of the liquid metal two-phase system is very necessary for the safety analysis of the liquid metal cooling reactor.
In current safety analysis work, the simulation of liquid metal two-phase systems continues to use much of the research experience of previous gas-water two-phase flow systems, since there are relatively few liquid metal two-phase flow experiments disclosed in the prior art. In fact, there is a great difference in physical and chemical properties between liquid metal and liquid water, so there is still a question whether the research experience of the gas-water two-phase flow system can be directly applied to the liquid metal two-phase system. Therefore, experimental research needs to be carried out on the liquid metal two-phase flow system, and support on a theoretical model is provided for design and safety analysis of the liquid metal cooling reactor. For the current research situation, most of the existing liquid metal two-phase system research is developed based on a loop type experimental device, and the research is mainly focused on the influence of gas phase on the natural circulation capacity of a liquid metal loop. In the method, the pool system is rarely researched due to the fact that most of the method is developed based on a loop type experimental device; the loop type experiment system needs more auxiliary support systems, and the experiment cost is high; the loop type system is mostly based on the aim of engineering verification experiments, so the mechanism is weak, and the research on the two-phase flow mechanism of the liquid metal is limited.
