Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of reactor engineering simulation, and in particular to a simulation method, simulation equipment and readable storage medium for creep failure of a heat transfer tube of a steam generator in a passive nuclear power plant. Background Art

[0002] As a clean, low-carbon, non-fossil energy, nuclear energy is an important option for the country to promote energy structure adjustment and achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals. Compared with the second-generation nuclear power technology, passive nuclear power technology can achieve core cooling under the effect of water density difference and natural circulation of air, reduce the risk of sudden power outages or other natural disasters to the operation of nuclear power plants, and greatly improve the safety of nuclear power plants.

[0003] Safety is an important factor related to the sustainable development of passive nuclear power plants, and severe accident analysis is an important part of nuclear power plant safety analysis. In the severe accident analysis of nuclear power plants, the core of some high-pressure melt sequences is exposed with the loss of coolant, and then a natural circulation of superheated steam (which may contain hydrogen) is formed in the pressure vessel and the primary coolant system, so that the heat of the core can be transferred to the equipment in various areas of the primary natural circulation.

[0004] As the pressure boundary of the first circuit, the heat transfer tube of the steam generator is subjected to a large pressure difference between the first and second circuits. In the case of natural circulation in the first circuit, the heat transfer tube is subjected to continuous high temperature and pressure difference, and the material strain accumulates continuously, which may eventually cause induced rupture, that is, creep failure of the heat transfer tube.

[0005] At present, the research on creep failure in the field of nuclear power mainly focuses on the parameter and strain prediction method of a specific material and the creep failure determination method at the lower head of the reactor pressure vessel, while there are few simulation methods for the creep failure of the steam generator heat transfer tube. When the heat transfer tube creep failure occurs, if the steam generator is not isolated and the main steam isolation valve cannot be closed, it may cause the containment to bypass and cause early release of radioactive materials. Therefore, a simulation method is urgently needed to analyze the creep failure probability of the steam generator heat transfer tube of a passive power plant. Summary of the invention

[0075] Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for simulating creep failure of a heat transfer tube of a steam generator in a passive nuclear power plant according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. As shown in the figure, a method for simulating creep failure of a heat transfer tube of a steam generator in a passive nuclear power plant comprises the following steps:

[0076] S1, obtain the defect data of creep failure of the heat transfer tube. The defect data mainly includes the geometric structure (dimensional data), material performance data, operating environment data and time-related data of the heat transfer tube.

[0077] S2, calculate the maximum defect frequency of the length defect of the heat transfer tube in the defect data, and the defect frequency of the depth-to-thickness ratio, form a defect combination of the two, and calculate the defect frequency of the defect combination. When the heat transfer tube creep failure occurs, assuming that at the same defect depth, the heat transfer tube always breaks at the longest defect, so it is necessary to determine the frequency distribution of the maximum defect length. At the same time, it is necessary to calculate the defect frequency of the depth-to-thickness ratio. Combine the length defect frequency with the depth-to-thickness ratio defect frequency, and on this basis, further calculate the defect frequency of this defect combination. Through the precise calculation and analysis of these data, we can better understand the defect situation of the heat transfer tube and provide a basis for the subsequent judgment of the creep failure of the heat transfer tube.

[0078] S3, calculate the stress amplification factor based on the geometric structure and defect combination of the heat transfer tube. Since the heat transfer tube may be damaged by wear during the manufacturing and operation process, and the diameter of the heat transfer tube is relatively small, the impact of defects is large, so it is necessary to analyze the impact of defects. The calculation of the stress amplification factor requires comprehensive consideration of the stress of the heat transfer tube under different working conditions, as well as the impact of the defect combination on the stress distribution of the heat transfer tube, so as to better understand the stress state of the heat transfer tube when defects exist.

[0079] S4, select the high-pressure melt reactor accident sequence and extract the state parameters of the heat transfer tube in the high-pressure melt reactor accident sequence that change with time. The high-pressure melt reactor sequence is a specific process or phenomenon sequence in a severe accident of a nuclear reactor, which is of great significance for understanding and assessing the consequences and risks of nuclear accidents. Through in-depth research on the high-pressure melt reactor sequence, we can better understand the behavioral characteristics of the heat transfer tube under severe accidents.

[0080] S5, based on the defect frequency, stress amplification factor and state parameters of the defect combination, calculate the key parameters of the creep failure model. Specifically, the defect frequency reflects the possibility of defects in the heat transfer tube, and the stress amplification factor reflects the degree of influence of the defect on the stress distribution. In addition, state parameters, including operating state factors such as temperature and pressure, must also be considered. By combining these factors, the key parameters of the creep failure model can be accurately determined. These key parameters are crucial for the subsequent evaluation of the creep failure risk of the heat transfer tube.

[0081] S6, randomly sample defect combinations, statistically analyze the probability failure results through the creep failure model, and calculate the most likely failure time. This step helps to improve the safety and reliability of heat transfer tubes and ensure the stable operation of related facilities such as nuclear power plants.

[0082] In some examples, after obtaining the defect data of creep failure of the heat transfer tube and before calculating the maximum defect frequency and the defect frequency of the depth-to-thickness ratio, the abnormal data in the defect data are eliminated. The abnormal data includes defect data obtained under normal operating conditions of the nuclear power plant and during maintenance. Because the data obtained during normal operation and maintenance may be interfered by various factors, it cannot truly reflect the defect situation caused by creep failure of the heat transfer tube under specific conditions. By eliminating these abnormal data, the reliability of subsequent analysis and calculation can be improved.

[0083] In some examples, the defect length occurrence frequency of the entire passive nuclear power plant follows the Gamma distribution, and the maximum defect frequency of the length defect of the heat transfer tube is calculated as follows:

[0084] P c_max (i) = P c (i)∏[1-P c (j)](j>i);

[0085] Among them, P c_max (i) is the defect length i is the frequency of occurrence of the maximum length defect, P c (i) is the frequency of occurrence of defect length i, and j is the number of defect lengths. Figure 2 A schematic diagram showing the variation of the defect frequency of a heat transfer tube with the defect length according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. As shown in the figure, the horizontal axis represents the maximum defect length, and the vertical axis represents the occurrence frequency of the defect length.

[0086] Assuming that there is no correlation between the length and depth of the heat transfer tube defect, and the cumulative share of the depth-to-thickness ratio also obeys the Gamma distribution, the calculation formula for the depth-to-thickness ratio defect frequency of the heat transfer tube is:

[0087] P a / h (α) = P a / h_integral (α+1)-P a / h_integral (α);

[0088] Among them, P a / h (α) is the frequency of occurrence of defect depth-thickness ratio α, P a / h_integral (α) is the cumulative occurrence frequency of defect depth-to-thickness ratio α. Figure 3 A schematic diagram showing the variation of the defect frequency of a heat transfer tube according to an embodiment of the present invention with the defect depth-to-thickness ratio is shown. As shown in the figure, the horizontal axis represents the defect depth-to-thickness ratio, and the vertical axis represents the occurrence frequency of the defect depth-to-thickness ratio.

[0089] The calculation formula for the defect frequency of all heat transfer tube defect combinations is:

[0090] P(k)=P c_max (i)·P a / h (α);

[0091] Where P(k) is the occurrence frequency of defect combination k.

[0092] In some examples, setting reasonable confidence intervals, the stress amplification factor m p The calculation formula is:

[0093]

[0094] m=0.614+0.481λ+0.386e -1.25λ ;

[0095] ε=1+0.9(a / h) 2 (1-1 / m);

[0096]

[0097] Among them, λ, m, ε are intermediate variables; a is the depth of the defect crack, unit is mm; c is the length of the defect crack, unit is mm; h is the thickness of the heat transfer tube wall, unit is mm, R o is the outer diameter of the heat transfer tube, in mm; R i is the inner diameter of the heat transfer tube, in mm.

[0098] Preferably, a 95% confidence interval is given to calculate the stress amplification factor m p .

[0099] In some examples, it also includes analyzing the high-pressure melt reactor accident sequence through an integrated severe accident analysis program, and extracting state parameters from the analysis results, the state parameters including the time-varying internal and external pressures and temperatures of the heat transfer tubes, heat pipe sections and surge tubes. Since the reactor primary loop system is in a continuous high-pressure state in a high-pressure melt reactor accident, the steam generator heat transfer tubes are more susceptible to creep failure under the action of long-term large pressure and temperature differences, so the high-pressure melt reactor accident sequence (such as loss of main feed water, etc.) is selected as a typical operating condition.

[0100] In some examples, since the time intervals of parameters directly output by the integrated severe accident analysis program are inconsistent, the data needs to be processed to facilitate subsequent processing and calculation. Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing data processing of an integrated severe accident analysis program according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, if t j In the results of the integrated severe accident analysis program (t i ,t i+1 ) time interval, t i The corresponding parameters (P inner (i),P outer (i),T(i)) is assigned to t j Corresponding parameter, t j Accumulate equal time intervals Δt for cyclic calculation and judge t j Is it greater than the total time T total , until a sequence of results with equal time intervals is obtained (t j ,P inner (j),P outer (j),T(j)). Among them, P inner (i) is t i The pressure inside the heat transfer tube at the moment, P outer (i) is t i The external pressure of the heat transfer tube at time t i The temperature of the heat transfer tube at all times.

[0101] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a creep failure key parameter calculation process according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. As shown in the figure, calculating the key parameters of the creep failure model includes the following steps:

[0102] S51, calculate the material stress of the pipeline, which includes heat transfer pipes, heat pipe sections and surge pipes. Because in the case of natural circulation in one loop, the heat pipe sections and surge pipes of the pipeline will also be affected by high-temperature steam and induce rupture, and there is a mutually exclusive effect between the rupture of the heat pipe sections, surge pipes and heat transfer pipes (that is, after an induced rupture occurs at any position, it will cause the reactor coolant system to depressurize and the stress at other positions to decrease, so that no induced rupture will occur). Therefore, it is necessary to perform creep model calculations on the heat pipe sections, surge pipes and steam generator heat transfer pipes respectively.

[0103] S52, calculate the Larson-Miller parameter P of the pipeline material based on the set confidence interval lm ;

[0104] S53, calculating the failure time of the pipeline;

[0105] S54, judging whether creep failure of the heat transfer tube occurs according to the failure time of the tube.

[0106] In some examples, in step S51, the calculation formula for the material stress of the hot pipe section and the surge pipe is:

[0107]

[0108] Among them, P inner and P outer are the internal pressure and external pressure of the pipeline, respectively, in ksi; R o is the outer diameter of the heat transfer tube, in mm; R i is the inner diameter of the heat transfer tube, in mm;

[0109] Heat transfer tubes need to consider the stress amplification factor m p , the calculation formula of the material stress of the heat transfer tube is:

[0110]

[0111] In step S52, set the parameter P lm 95% confidence interval for calculating the Larson-Miller parameter P for the hot section and surge tube materials lm-sur- h l The calculation formula is:

[0112]

[0113] Calculate the Larson-Miller parameter P of the heat transfer tube material lm-SG The calculation formula is:

[0114]

[0115] In step S53, the calculation formula of the pipeline failure time is:

[0116]

[0117] Where T is the temperature to which the material is subjected, in K; C is a material-related constant, determined by experiment; t r is the failure time, in h; when the pipeline is a hot pipe section or a surge pipe, the Larson-Miller parameter P of the material lm Plm-sur- h l ; When the pipe is a heat transfer pipe, the Larson-Miller parameter P of the material lm P lm-SG ;

[0118] In step S54, reference Figure 5 In fact, after a serious accident, all the temperature and pressure in the pipeline are constantly changing. The creep fraction per unit time is defined as Assuming that the temperature and pressure of the pipeline are constant per unit time, the unit creep fraction is integrated over time, t j Accumulate equal time intervals Δt for cyclic calculation and judge t j Is it greater than the total time T total , if the sum When it is greater than or equal to 1, the time is defined as the creep failure time of the pipeline; if the sum If it is less than 1, it is judged that no creep failure occurs.

[0119] Figure 6 The schematic diagram of a heat transfer tube creep failure determination method according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. As shown in the figure, the creep failure time T of the heat transfer tube segment is calculated. hl , Surge tube creep failure time T sur and the creep failure time T of the steam generator heat transfer tube SG , and compare the three. If T SG ≤T hl And T SG ≤T sur , it is judged that the heat transfer tube has failed due to creep; if T SG >T hl or T SG >T sur , it is judged that the creep failure of the heat transfer tube does not occur.

[0120] In some examples, the random sampling defect combination is calculated through the creep failure model, the total sampling probability is statistically analyzed and normalized, and the calculation formula for the probability of creep failure of the heat transfer tube is:

[0121]

[0122] Among them, P SGTR (k) is the probability of heat transfer tube creep failure for defect combination k; P noSGTR (k) is the probability that the heat transfer tube will not fail due to creep for defect combination k; P SGTR is the total probability of creep failure of the heat transfer tube;

[0123] The most vulnerable failure time is counted and all creep failure times are superimposed on (t i ,t i+1) interval, the corresponding calculation formula is:

[0124]

[0125] Get the creep failure probability in each time period within the total calculation time and obtain the most likely failure time;

[0126] Among them, P SGTR (i,i+1) is the i ,t i+1 ) is the total probability of heat transfer tube creep failure within the time interval.

[0133] (2) The proposed calculation of the combined defect frequency and stress amplification factor of the heat transfer tube is performed. The defect frequency under different combinations is obtained by randomly combining the maximum defect length and the depth-to-thickness ratio. The wear of the heat transfer tube during manufacturing and transportation is considered, and the stress amplification factor is used to more realistically simulate the impact of defects.

[0134] (3) A method for calculating the key parameters of the creep failure model is proposed. First, the material stress is calculated, and then the Larson-Miller parameters are obtained. Considering the pressure difference and temperature changes of the pipeline, the creep failure share per unit time is determined, and it is integrated over the calculation time to simulate whether creep failure occurs.

[0135] (4) A method for calculating the probability of creep failure and the most likely failure time of heat transfer tubes is proposed. First, the creep failure times of the heat pipe section, the surge tube, and the steam generator heat transfer tube are compared to determine whether creep failure of the heat transfer tube occurs. Second, the sampling probability is normalized to obtain the creep failure probability after considering the defect frequency of the heat transfer tube. Finally, the total calculation time is divided into intervals, and the failure probability in each interval is counted to obtain the most likely failure time of the heat transfer tube.
