Abstract
The overall scaled-down separate-effects IRWST&PRHR HX&ADS test facility has been built to simulate the thermal hydraulic behavior of the passive residual heat removal system under accident conditions. The measured 3-D temperature and velocity results show obvious thermal stratification in IRWST. The Richardson number (Ri) could be used to predict the occurrence of possible thermal stratification, and the Stratification number (Str) to evaluate the thermal stratification extent. Both dimensionless parameters provide criteria for thermal stratification and experimental references for the design and operation of engineering equipment.
Kurzfassung
Die komplett skalierte Einzeleffekt-Testanlage IRWST & PRHR HX & ADS wurde gebaut, um das thermisch-hydraulische Verhalten der passiven Restwärmeabfuhr unter Unfallbedingungen zu simulieren. Die gemessenen 3D-Temperatur- und Geschwindigkeitsergebnisse zeigen eine deutliche thermische Schichtung im IRWST. In diesem Beitrag wird gezeigt, dass mit Hilfe der Richardson-Zahl (Ri) das Auftreten einer möglichen thermischen Schichtung vorhergesagt und mit Hilfe der Stratifikationszahl (Str) das Ausmaß der thermischen Schichtung bewertet werden kann. Beide dimensionslosen Parameter liefern Kriterien für die thermische Schichtung und experimentelle Referenzen für die Auslegung und den Betrieb von technischen Anlagen.
