Abstract

The invention provides a rod bundle channel visualization experiment body suitable for heating boiling conditions. The experiment body comprises a square quartz channel, an outlet and an inlet respectively disposed at the upper end and the lower end of the square quartz channel and a simulated fuel rod bundle disposed in the square quartz channel. The lower end of the simulated fuel rod bundle isconnected to the square quartz channel through a sealing flange. The experiment body is further provided with a positive conductive copper bar and a negative conductive copper bar, and the positive conductive copper bar is disposed at the upper end of the inlet of the body. The simulated fuel rod bundle includes a connecting copper head and a conductive copper rod and a stainless steel tube whichare arranged at the lower end of the connecting copper head. The conductive copper rod is disposed inside the stainless steel tube, and the outer surface of the conductive copper rod is provided withan insulating tube. The stainless steel tube is connected with the positive conductive copper bar, and the conductive copper rod is connected with the negative conductive copper bar. The experiment body solves the problem that the traditional wall temperature measurement method and a visualization experiment cannot be combined, can achieve measurement study of an inner flow field temperature fieldof the rod bundle channel under high temperature and two-phase conditions, and has the advantages of simple design and low cost.

Problems solved by technology

However, due to the complex structure of the fuel assembly and the study of its internal flow and heat transfer behavior, scholars at home and abroad often use traditional thermocouples to measure the wall temperature of the rod bundle to predict the flow and heat transfer behavior in the rod bundle channel, and the measurement of the thermocouple can only Measuring the temperature of a single point or some points cannot obtain the detailed flow and heat transfer behavior in the fuel assembly, and the arrangement of thermocouples will inevitably have a certain impact on the internal behavior of the real fuel assembly, which will eventually lead to engineering problems. The real heat and mass transfer process in the component is still
