Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lead-cooled fast reactors, in particular to a visualization experimental system for bubble migration behavior in static liquid. Background Art
[0002] Lead-cooled fast reactors mostly adopt a pool structure, where steam generators, main pumps and other equipment are directly placed in the lead-bismuth molten pool with the core. This design eliminates the intermediate loop, simplifies the structure of the reactor, makes the core design more compact, and improves economic efficiency. Among them, the steam generator is the most core heat exchange equipment in the lead-cooled fast reactor system. There are a large number of thin-walled and small heat transfer tubes in the steam generator, and water and high-temperature lead and bismuth exchange heat through the heat transfer tubes. Due to the large temperature and pressure difference on both sides of the heat transfer tube, it is easy to generate large mechanical and thermal stresses. In addition, the vibration and corrosion of the fluids in the first and second circuits make the risk of steam generator heat transfer tube rupture (SGTR) accidents not to be ignored. When an SGTR accident occurs, the high-pressure water in the second circuit pipe will be sprayed into the low-pressure and high-temperature molten lead and bismuth in the main container of the first circuit. Flash evaporation occurs due to the sudden drop in pressure, generating a large number of steam bubbles. Some of these bubbles may float to the surface of the lead-bismuth molten pool, while others may migrate to the vicinity of the core along with the flow of molten lead-bismuth, causing fluctuations in reactivity. If the steam bubbles adhere to the surface of the fuel cladding, they will also deteriorate the core heat transfer and cause core damage, posing a great threat to reactor safety. Therefore, studying the migration characteristics of bubbles in liquids of different densities will help to clarify the interaction mechanism between bubbles and lead-bismuth when they move in molten lead-bismuth, which is of great significance for revealing the characteristics and occurrence mechanism of steam generator rupture accidents, and then proposing and formulating optimization schemes for the structural design of lead-cooled fast reactors, and SGTR accident hazard assessment and mitigation measures.
[0003] The current visualization test system is unable to perform visualization records of bubbles under high temperature conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a system that can assist researchers in studying visualization experiments on bubble migration behavior. Utility Model Content

[0048] The technical solutions in the embodiments will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments, rather than all the embodiments.

[0053] Specifically, the control terminal 50 can be used to control the heating mechanism 20, the bubble release mechanism 30, the visual data acquisition mechanism 40 and the environmental parameter detection mechanism, etc., and the control terminal 50 is also used to store data obtained by the visual data acquisition mechanism 40 and the environmental parameter detection mechanism.
[0054] In this embodiment, the bubble release mechanism 30 is connected to a bubble nozzle 35, which can control the initial cross-sectional area and rate of bubble release, and the bubble nozzle 35 is inserted into the bottom of the experimental container 10. The bubble nozzle 35 is designed to be quickly detachable and easy to replace.

[0055] The bubbles of the different bubble nozzles 35 are designed to cover most of the size ranges of bubbles formed during a rupture accident of a heat transfer tube of a lead-cooled fast reactor steam generator.
[0056] In this embodiment, the experimental container 10 is a visualization experimental container. The visualization experimental container 10 is composed of stainless steel and transparent materials, the transparent materials include but are not limited to ordinary glass, organic glass and quartz glass, etc., and the container shape is one of a cuboid and a cube.
[0057] In this embodiment, the visual data acquisition mechanism 40 includes a high-resolution high-speed camera 41 , an LED high-brightness backlight 42 and a background diffusion plate 43 .
[0058] Specifically, the high-resolution high-speed camera 41 is disposed right in front of the visualization experiment container 10 .
[0059] Specifically, the LED high-brightness backlight illuminating lamp 42 is located behind the visualization experiment container 10 , and the background light diffusion plate 43 is located between the visualization experiment container 10 and the LED high-brightness backlight illuminating lamp 42 .
