The invention relates to the technical field of
research reactor material
irradiation, and provides a variable
thermal resistance structure suitable for material
irradiation temperature adjustment and a design method, the variable
thermal resistance structure comprises a protection tube and a to-be-tested sample arranged in the protection tube, an elastic
thermal resistor is arranged between the protection tube and the to-be-tested sample, and the elastic
thermal resistor is in contact with the protection tube and the to-be-tested sample at the same time; the cross section of the elastic
thermal resistor is of an annular structure formed by continuous bending,
inert gas is further filled between the protection tube and the sample to be tested, the elastic thermal
resistor is in contact with the outer wall of the sample to be tested and the inner wall of the protection tube at the same time,
heat transfer of an original air gap layer is changed, and
heat transfer performance is enhanced; meanwhile, the elastic thermal
resistor formed by bending has certain
ductility, so that the outward
heat transfer capacity of the sample to be tested in the
irradiation test is enhanced, the influence of
thermal expansion on heat transfer is reduced, and the irradiation
test requirements of various materials are met; parameter determination is carried out through an out-of-
pile verification test, and in-
pile condition tests are combined, so that the elastic
thermal resistance meeting the requirements is rapidly screened out.
