Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application.

[0045] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0046] Embodiment 1:

[0047] A hydrogen filling station needs to add a cooling water pipeline around the existing hydrogen pipeline. The cooling water pipeline is arranged in parallel with the hydrogen pipeline, the cooling water pipeline is 100 mm away from the hydrogen pipeline, and the existing cooling water pipeline has a diameter of 8, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 mm. The hydrogen pipeline has a diameter of 19.05 mm, a wall thickness of about 4 mm, a design pressure of 10 MPa, and a gas flow rate of 8 m / s. Since there is a hydrogen production workshop in the pipeline arrangement site, it is necessary to ensure that the influence of hydrogen leakage on the hydrogen production workshop is not great. As shown in the table, the present embodiment provides a hydrogen pipeline optimization arrangement method. The leakage flow of the related components of the hydrogen-related site and the diameter of the adjacent pipeline and other parameters are substituted into the built model, and finally the flammable mass and the flammable distance of hydrogen are obtained, thereby providing a scientific basis for the pipeline layout optimization mode of the hydrogen energy site. Specifically, the following steps are included: Figure 1

[0048] S1, determining an empirical relationship of hydrogen jet flammable distance and flammable mass

[0049] S11, model assumption

[0050] (1) Since the hydrogen pressure in the hydrogen pipeline is high, the hydrogen leakage will form a high-pressure under-expanded jet, so the initial momentum of the jet is high, and the influence of buoyancy on the jet is weak, and the jet is a momentum-dominated jet;

[0051] ​(2) The concentration distribution on the jet axis is a hyperbolic distribution, and at a given axial position, the concentration distribution in the jet radial direction is a Gaussian distribution;

[0052] (3) During the process of gas leakage from the inside of the pipeline to the outside, the heat exchange between the air flow and the pipeline and the outside world can be ignored relative to the enthalpy change of hydrogen, that is, the leakage process is approximately an isentropic process.

[0053] S12. Calculation of flammable distance

[0054] The concentration decay of hydrogen jet on the center line of the momentum-dominant region satisfies the hyperbolic decay law, so a certain concentration value Y on the jet axis is s The corresponding axial position z s It can be calculated by the following formula:

[0055]

[0056] Among them, C d is the attenuation coefficient, d e is the leakage hole diameter, ρ e and ρ ∞ are the density of the jet gas at the leak hole outlet and the density of the surrounding air, respectively.

[0057] Hydrogen jet outlet flow rate q m The calculation formula is as follows:

[0058]

[0059] Among them, u e is the velocity at the leak hole outlet, which is the local sound velocity and can be calculated based on the physical parameter relationship of ideal gas or actual gas. Further application of the isentropic expansion relationship can obtain u e The relationship between the temperature of the gas in the tube and T0 is:

[0060]

[0061] That is, the velocity of the jet at the leak hole outlet is only related to the air flow temperature in the pipe. The relationship between the outlet flow rate, gas density and leak hole diameter can be obtained:

[0062]

[0063] Then z s It can be calculated by the following formula:

[0064]

[0065] Among them, C1 is the first proportional coefficient, which is proportional to Y s , ρ ∞ And T0, etc., its expression is:

[0066]

[0067] Here, R represents the universal gas constant.

[0068] When Y s Take the lower flammable limit Y LFL When , the relationship between the flammable distance ME and the flow rate can be obtained:

[0069] ME=C 1,LFL q m 0.5

[0070] Among them, C 1,LFL Represents Y s Take the lower flammable limit Y LFL The value of C1 when .

[0071] S13. Calculation of combustible mass

[0072] The radial concentration of the hydrogen jet satisfies the Gaussian distribution. Assuming that the density of the mixed gas in the calculation area remains unchanged, it is the density of the surrounding air ρ ∞ , then the combustible mass of hydrogen m f The mass of hydrogen between the lower flammable limit LFL and the upper flammable limit UFL can be calculated by the following formula:

[0073]

[0074] Where z represents the axial distance from the nozzle outlet, r represents the radial distance from the jet axis, and r LFL and r UFL are the radial positions corresponding to the lower flammable limit and the upper flammable limit, z LFL and z UFL are the axial positions corresponding to the lower flammable limit and the upper flammable limit, Y cl is the gas mass fraction along the jet centerline, r 0.5 It represents the distance from the position where the hydrogen mass fraction is 1 / 2 of the mass fraction at the jet centerline on the plane to the jet axis on the jet cross section at a certain distance from the nozzle outlet. It can be expressed by r 0.5 =C c z is calculated, C c 、C r are the third and fourth proportional coefficients, respectively, C c 、C r All obtained by fitting.

[0075] The points can be sorted out:

[0076]

[0077] Among them, C2 is the second proportional coefficient, which is related to ρ∞ , Y s and T0, whose expression is:

[0078]

[0079] where Y UFL represents the flammable upper limit of the combustible gas, C 1,UFL represents Y s The value of C1 is taken when the flammable upper limit Y UFL .

[0080] S2, constructing a working condition matrix according to the sizes and positions of adjacent pipelines

[0081] S21, according to the design drawings, process pipelines and instrument flow charts of the scene, obtaining the diameters of the cooling water pipelines available in the scene, which are 8, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 mm, and the distance between the cooling water pipeline and the hydrogen pipeline is 100 mm;

[0082] S22, taking the diameter of the cooling water pipeline as the optimization object, selecting multiple leakage flow rates, and constructing a working condition matrix with the diameter of the cooling water pipeline, as shown in Figure 2 .

[0083] S3, fitting the proportionality coefficient of the empirical relationship between the flammable distance and the flammable mass and the leakage flow rate

[0084] S31, geometric model construction

[0085] According to the working condition matrix, a cooling water pipeline is created outside the leakage hole.

[0086] S32, calculation domain division

[0087] Because there is a shock wave within a very short distance outside the leakage hole, the flow parameters change dramatically, and very fine grids need to be created. Outside the shock wave area, the flow parameters change relatively gently, and relatively coarse grids can be used to reduce the total grid amount. Therefore, the calculation area is divided into two parts, the near-field area and the far-field area, and the cooling water pipeline is placed in the far-field area. The geometric model as shown in Figure 3 is established, and the near-field area and the far-field area are calculated respectively in two steps.

[0088] S33, near-field area calculation

[0089] As shown in Figure 4 , the near-field area is divided into grids, and at least 15 grids should be divided along the diameter direction of the leakage hole, and structured grids are used in the entire near-field area.

[0090] When the near-field area is calculated, the boundary surface between the near-field area and the far-field area adopts a pressure outlet boundary condition.

[0091] The jet flow in the near field is calculated by using simulation software. After the calculation converges, the jet flow velocity, pressure, temperature, density, and turbulence intensity on the boundary surface between the near field and the far field are exported as profile files.

[0092] S34, far field calculation

[0093] As shown in Figure 5 , the grid is divided in the far field, and the grid is locally encrypted around the pipe.

[0094] The profile files exported by the near field calculation are imported into the far field calculation model as boundary conditions.

[0095] Set other required parameters and boundary conditions, and set monitoring points before and after the pipe. The calculation is carried out until the calculation converges.

[0096] S35, result post-processing

[0097] Through simulation software post-processing, the flammable mass and flammable distance under different working conditions are calculated.

[0098] S36, fitting of proportionality coefficient

[0099] The relationship between flammable mass and flammable distance and flow rate is fitted by fitting algorithm. The fitted relationship is as follows:

[0100] y=kx β

[0101] Where k is the to-be-solved C1 and C2, y is the flammable distance and flammable mass, x is the mass flow rate, and β is the index (β=1.5 when calculating the flammable mass; β=0.5 when calculating the flammable distance). Taking the least squares method as an example, the principle of the least squares method is to solve the coefficient k by n sets of observation data points (x i ,y i ), i=1, 2, …, n, so that the sum of the squares of the differences between the predicted value and the measured value is minimized.

[0102] The objective function is:

[0103]

[0104] Take the derivative of the objective function and set it to 0 to get the calculation formula of k:

[0105]

[0106] Bring the simulation results into the calculation formula of k to get Figure 6 and Figure 7The fitting results of the above method. According to the above method, the values of C1 under the conditions of the cooling water pipe diameter D being 8, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 mm are 1.038, 0.893, 0.756, 0.693, 0.670, 0.674 and 0.679 respectively, and the value ranges of C2 are 0.078, 0.084, 0.081, 0.071, 0.066, 0.077 and 0.089 respectively.

[0107] S4, optimizing the pipeline arrangement mode by using the empirical relationship

[0108] After obtaining the proportional coefficients under different pipe diameters in S41, the maximum leakage flow of the hydrogen transport pipeline needs to be determined. It is assumed that a catastrophic rupture occurs in the hydrogen transport pipeline, and the maximum leakage flow is about 11.25 g / s. At the same time, according to the design drawings of the hydrogenation station, the shortest distance between the hydrogen transport pipeline and the hydrogen production workshop is about 2.5 m. Therefore, the safety threshold of the hydrogen flammable distance is set to 2.5 m, and the requirement that the hydrogen flammable distance is lower than the threshold when the hydrogen transport pipeline leaks is prioritized, and then the flammable mass is quantitatively evaluated. Among them, in the scenario with lower flammable mass, the overpressure value generated after the explosion is smaller, and such a situation should be prioritized.

[0109] S42, based on the determined maximum leakage flow and the proportional coefficients under different pipe diameters, the flammable distance and the flammable mass are calculated by the empirical formula, and under the conditions of the cooling water pipe diameter being 8, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 mm, the corresponding flammable distance is 3.48, 3.00, 2.54, 2.32, 2.25, 2.26 and 2.27 m, and the corresponding flammable mass is 2.94, 3.17, 3.06, 2.68, 2.49, 2.91 and 3.36 g. According to the safety threshold requirement, the pipe diameters whose flammable distance exceeds 2.5 meters (8 mm, 15 mm and 20 mm) should be excluded. Among the remaining diameter specifications, the flammable mass corresponding to the 30 mm pipe is the smallest (2.49 g), so the pipe diameter of the cooling water pipe is preferably 30 mm.
