Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nuclear reactor structural component performance testing, and in particular to a device and method for testing a circular tube rupture under internal pressure in a nuclear reactor accident. Background Art
[0002] During a nuclear reactor accident, the core loses cooling, causing the core temperature to rise rapidly due to decay heat, heating the cooling water in the core to steam. Consequently, during a nuclear reactor accident, core components are exposed to a high-temperature steam environment. As the temperature rises, the mechanical properties of core components deteriorate, making them more susceptible to deformation and structural damage, impacting the reliability of the core structure. For tubular components subjected to internal pressure (such as fuel element cladding), this process causes the components to expand, and when the stress they are subjected to reaches a limit, they will rupture, thereby losing their containment function. Therefore, studying the rupture behavior of tubular components subjected to internal pressure during nuclear reactor accident conditions is of great significance to the safety design and reliability analysis of nuclear reactors.
[0003] Tube furnaces are currently widely used as heating instruments for experimental studies of the rupture behavior of pipes subjected to internal pressure during nuclear reactor accident conditions. Tube furnaces surround the pipe under investigation with a ceramic tube. Radiation heat transfer from internal heating elements heats the tube first, and then the pipe under investigation, thereby maintaining a uniform temperature field within the pipe. However, when the pipe ruptures, the shockwaves from the released high-pressure gas or the ejection of debris from the pipe's internal filling can easily fracture the tube and even damage the furnace's internal components. Furthermore, due to limitations in the materials used for the heating elements and the ceramic tube, the heating rate of tube furnaces is often limited to ensure long-term operation. For example, a tube furnace using MoSi2 as a heating element typically has a heating rate of no more than 10°C / min, which is insufficient for rapid temperature increases. Furthermore, due to the long heat transfer path, heating the pipe under investigation in a tube furnace is often accompanied by a delay, resulting in a time lag between the temperature response of the pipe under investigation and the power changes of the tube furnace, which presents significant challenges for experimental studies.

[0022] Figure 2 The present invention is a schematic structural diagram of a metal tube filled with pellets in a circular tube rupture experimental device under internal pressure in a nuclear reactor accident. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a circular tube rupture experimental device under the action of internal pressure in a nuclear reactor accident includes a circular tube assembly, a cylinder assembly, a gas cylinder 25, a gas booster 26, a first DC power supply 27, a second DC power supply 28, a steam generator 2, and a vacuum pump 1.
[0025] The round tube assembly as described above includes a metal tube 19, an upper cooling flange 7, a lower cooling flange 23, an upper copper electrode 6, a lower copper electrode 22, an upper ferrule reducer 4, a lower ferrule reducer 21, a pressure lead pipe 5, a pressure charging pipe 20, and a pressure transmitter 3. Figure 2As shown, the interior of the metal tube 19 can be filled with cylindrical pellets 30, with a gap between the pellets 30 and the metal tube 19. The two end faces of the pellets 30 are chamfered to facilitate filling into the metal tube 19. The volume of gas within the metal tube 19 can be controlled by adjusting the number of pellets 30. The metal tube 19 is connected to a pressure-inducing pipe 5 via an upper compression-type reducer 4. The other end of the pressure-inducing pipe 5 is connected to a pressure transmitter 3, which measures the internal pressure of the metal tube 19. The metal tube 19 is connected to a charging pipe 20 via a lower compression-type reducer 21. The charging pipe 20 is connected to the gas outlet of a gas booster 26, whose gas inlet is connected to a gas cylinder 25. The gas cylinder 25 provides inert gas. The gas from the cylinder 25 reaches the required pressure after passing through the gas booster 26 and is then filled into the metal tube 19. The metal tube 19 is connected to a first DC power supply 27 via an upper copper electrode 6 and a lower copper electrode 22, forming a current loop. The wire connecting the upper copper electrode 6 and the lower copper electrode 22 to the first DC power supply 27 is made of metallic copper. After the first DC power supply 27 is started, current is generated and passes through the metal tube 19, thereby heating the metal tube 19. Since the resistance of the copper wire, the upper copper electrode 6, and the lower copper electrode 22 is relatively small, the copper wire, the upper copper electrode 6, and the lower copper electrode 22 will not generate significant heat. In order to prevent the metal tube 19 near the upper copper electrode 6 and the lower copper electrode 22 from being too hot, thereby causing the upper copper electrode 6 and the lower copper electrode 22 to oxidize, thereby affecting the heating power, the present invention installs an upper cooling flange 7 between the upper copper electrode 6 and the upper cover plate 9 of the cylinder assembly, and installs a lower cooling flange 23 between the lower copper electrode 22 and the lower cover plate 17 of the cylinder assembly, thereby reducing the temperature at both ends of the metal tube 19.
[0026] The cylinder assembly as described above includes an upper cover plate 9, a stainless steel shell 12, an annular heat shielding layer 13, an annular tungsten heater 14, an annular platinum bushing 15 and a lower cover plate 17. The annular platinum bushing 15 surrounds the metal tube 19, and there is a gas space between the annular platinum bushing 15 and the metal tube 19. The annular tungsten heater 14 is nested on the outside of the annular platinum bushing 15 and fits tightly with the annular platinum bushing 15. Metal platinum has excellent antioxidant properties and can prevent the annular tungsten heater 14 from being oxidized by high-temperature water vapor during the experiment. The annular heat shielding layer 13 is nested on the outside of the annular tungsten heater 14. The annular heat shielding layer 13 is made of zirconium dioxide fiber, a high-temperature refractory insulation material, and has a high thermal resistance. It can reduce the outer surface temperature of the cylinder assembly and ensure the safety of the experimenters. The annular heat shielding layer 13 is wrapped with a stainless steel shell 12, and a pipe joint 11 is welded to the stainless steel shell 12. The stainless steel shell 12 is connected to the vacuum pump 1 through the pipe joint 11. The function of the vacuum pump 1 is to evacuate the annular space formed by the annular platinum bushing 15 and the stainless steel shell 12 during the experiment to prevent the annular tungsten heater 14 from being oxidized by air. The upper tungsten electrode 29 and the lower tungsten electrode 24 of the annular tungsten heater 14 are connected to the second DC power supply 28 via copper wires to form a current loop. After the second DC power supply 28 is started, a current is generated through the annular tungsten heater 14, causing the annular tungsten heater 14 to generate heat. The function of the annular tungsten heater 14 is to prevent water vapor from condensing during the experiment. At the same time, the annular tungsten heater 14 generates heat more uniformly in the circumferential direction. By transferring heat to the metal tube 19, the circumferential temperature difference of the metal tube 19 can be reduced. A cylindrical upper thermal insulation pad 10 is placed on the upper end surface of the annular tungsten heater 14 and the annular platinum bushing 15. The upper thermal insulation pad 10 has two through holes, one for installing the metal tube 19 and the other as a water vapor channel. Above the upper thermal insulation pad 10 is the upper cover plate 9 of the cylinder assembly. The upper cover plate 9 has two through holes, which are used to install the metal tube 19 and the joint for welding the water vapor outlet 8. The upper thermal insulation pad 10 can prevent the upper cover plate 9 from overheating and ensure the safety of the experimenters. Through the compression fit of the upper cover plate 9, the upper end faces of the annular tungsten heating element 14 and the annular platinum bushing 15 can be sealed. Graphite packing is used for sealing between the upper cover plate 9 and the stainless steel shell 12, and between the upper cover plate 9 and the metal tube 19. It can work stably for a long time in a high-temperature environment, maintain stable physical properties, and will not age, deform or fail. It can also withstand greater pressure in a high-pressure environment without leakage, ensuring the sealing and work safety of the system. A cylindrical lower thermal insulation pad 16 is placed on the lower end faces of the annular tungsten heating element 14 and the annular platinum bushing 15. The lower thermal insulation pad 16 has two through holes, which are used to install the metal tube 19 and serve as a water vapor channel. Below the lower heat-insulating pad 16 is the lower cover plate 17 of the cylinder assembly. The lower cover plate 17 has two through holes, which are used to install the metal pipe 19 and weld the joint of the water vapor inlet 18 respectively.The lower thermal insulation pad 16 can prevent the temperature of the lower cover plate 17 from being too high, ensuring the safety of the experimenters. The lower end surface of the annular tungsten heating element 14 and the annular platinum bushing 15 can be sealed by the compression fit of the lower cover plate 17. Graphite packing is used for sealing between the lower cover plate 17 and the stainless steel shell 12, and between the lower cover plate 17 and the metal tube 19. It can work stably for a long time in a high-temperature environment, maintain stable physical properties, and will not age, deform or fail. It can also withstand greater pressure in a high-pressure environment without leakage, ensuring the sealing and working safety of the system. The steam generator 2 is connected to the joint of the water vapor inlet 18 through a pipeline. The steam generator 2 can provide the water vapor required for the experimental process.
[0027] The circular tube rupture test device under internal pressure in a nuclear reactor accident can carry out transient heating rupture tests, isothermal creep rupture tests, and oxidation tests on the inner surface of the circular tube after rupture, of the circular tube under internal pressure in a nuclear reactor accident.
[0028] The experimental method of the transient heating and rupture experiment of the circular tube under internal pressure under the nuclear reactor accident condition is as follows: complete the installation of the circular tube assembly, start the vacuum pump 1, eliminate the air around the annular tungsten heating body 14, start the first DC power supply 27 and the second DC power supply 28, make the maximum temperature of the annular tungsten heating body 14 and the metal tube 19 reach 300 ° C, start the steam generator 2, after the furnace chamber of the steam generator 2 reaches the target pressure, introduce steam into the cylinder assembly, start the gas cylinder 25 and the gas booster 26, fill the metal tube 19 with gas, monitor the internal pressure of the metal tube 19 through the pressure transmitter 3, and make the internal pressure of the metal tube 19 After the target value is reached and the water vapor in the cylinder assembly flows stably, the heating power of the first DC power supply 27 is increased to heat the metal tube 19 according to the designed temperature change process. When the metal tube 19 ruptures at high temperature, the gas cylinder 25 is closed, the gas booster 26 is closed, the first DC power supply 27 is closed, and the second DC power supply 28 is closed to cool the metal tube 19. After the maximum temperature of the metal tube 19 drops below 400°C, the steam generator 2 is closed and the steam supply is stopped. After the maximum temperature of the annular tungsten heating body 14 drops below 100°C, the vacuum pump 1 is closed. After the temperature of the metal tube 19 drops to room temperature, the round tube assembly is taken out.
[0029] The experimental method for the isothermal creep rupture experiment of a circular tube subjected to internal pressure under the nuclear reactor accident condition is as follows: after completing the installation of the circular tube assembly, starting the vacuum pump 1, eliminating the air around the annular tungsten heating body 14, starting the first DC power supply 27 and the second DC power supply 28, causing the maximum temperature of the annular tungsten heating body 14 and the metal tube 19 to reach 300°C, starting the steam generator 2, and after the furnace chamber of the steam generator 2 reaches the target pressure, introducing steam into the cylinder assembly, and after the water vapor in the cylinder assembly flows stably, respectively increasing the heating power of the first DC power supply 27 and the second DC power supply 28, causing the maximum temperature of the metal tube 19 and the annular tungsten heating body 14 to rise at a rate of 3 to 4°C / s until the maximum temperature of the metal tube 19 reaches the target temperature, adjusting the first DC power supply 27 and the second DC power supply 28. 28 heating power, so that the maximum temperature of the metal tube 19 is stabilized at the target temperature, the gas cylinder 25 and the gas booster 26 are turned on, and the gas is filled into the metal tube 19. The internal pressure of the metal tube 19 is monitored by the pressure transmitter 3, so that the internal pressure of the metal tube 19 reaches the target value. The metal tube 19 creeps and expands under the action of the internal and external pressure difference. When the metal tube 19 ruptures, the gas cylinder 25 is turned off, the gas booster 26 is turned off, the first DC power supply 27 is turned off, and the second DC power supply 28 is turned off to cool the metal tube 19. When the maximum temperature of the metal tube 19 drops below 400°C, the steam supply is stopped, the steam generator 2 is turned off, and the steam supply is stopped. When the maximum temperature of the annular tungsten heating body 14 drops below 100°C, the vacuum pump 1 is turned off, and the temperature of the metal tube 19 drops to room temperature, the round tube assembly is taken out.
[0030] The experimental method for the post-rupture oxidation experiment on the inner surface of a circular tube subjected to internal pressure under nuclear reactor accident conditions is as follows: after completing the installation of the circular tube assembly, start the vacuum pump 1 to eliminate the air surrounding the annular tungsten heater 14, start the second DC power supply 28, and transfer heat from the annular tungsten heater 14 to the metal tube 19, causing the maximum temperature of the metal tube 19 to reach 300°C. Because the metal tube 19 would experience significant losses due to the oxidation reaction in this experiment, the first DC power supply 27 was not used to heat the metal tube 19 to avoid difficulty in adjusting the heating power due to resistance changes. Start the steam generator 2. After the furnace chamber of the steam generator 2 reaches the target pressure, introduce steam into the cylinder assembly to create the required high-temperature oxidizing gas environment and realize oxidation of the inner surface of the round tube after it ruptures. Turn on the gas cylinder 25 and the gas booster 26 to fill the metal tube 19 with gas. The internal pressure of the metal tube 19 is monitored by the pressure transmitter 3 to make the internal pressure of the metal tube 19 reach the target value. After the water vapor in the cylinder assembly flows stably, increase the heating power of the second DC power supply 28 to make the metal tube 19 heat up according to the designed temperature change process. When the metal tube 19 ruptures, turn off the gas cylinder 25 and the gas booster 26. The water vapor can pass through the rupture of the metal tube 19 and oxidize to the inside of the metal tube 19. Surface contact, adjust the heating power of the second DC power supply 28, so that the metal tube 19 continues to heat up according to the designed temperature change process until the maximum temperature of the metal tube 19 reaches the target temperature, adjust the heating power of the second DC power supply 28, so that the maximum temperature of the metal tube 19 is stabilized at the target temperature, start timing from the moment the temperature of the metal tube 19 is stable, after the timing reaches the target length, turn off the second DC power supply 28, and cool the metal tube 19, wait for the maximum temperature of the metal tube 19 to drop below 400 ℃, turn off the steam generator 2, stop supplying steam, wait for the maximum temperature of the annular tungsten heating body 14 to drop below 100 ℃, turn off the vacuum pump 1, wait for the temperature of the metal tube 19 to drop to room temperature, and take out the round tube assembly.
