Abstract

Because of the large variation of thermal–physical properties near pseudo-critical point, heat transfer of supercritical water shows abnormal behavior. Thus, an accurate prediction of heat transfer between the cladding and fluid plays a very important role. It is necessary to investigate the reliably of heat transfer models in the vicinity of the pseudo-critical point. In the frame of evaluating the present HT models and developing new reliable prediction models, databank of heat transfer of supercritical water flowing in tube were established by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) with more than 35,000 experimental data. A thorough analysis and assessment was carried out, to give an insight into the characters of the database. Experimental data from different sources are compared to figure out the deviation between different sources and to present the reliability of the database.

Kurzfassung

Aufgrund der großen Veränderung der thermisch-physikalischen Eigenschaften nahe dem pseudokritischen Punkt zeigt die Wärmeübertragung von überkritischem Wasser ein abnormales Verhalten. Daher spielt eine genaue Vorhersage des Wärmeübergangs zwischen dem Hüllrohr und der Flüssigkeit eine sehr wichtige Rolle. Es ist notwendig, die Zuverlässigkeit von Wärmeübertragungsmodellen in der Nähe des pseudokritischen Punktes zu untersuchen. Im Rahmen der Evaluierung der vorliegenden HT-Modelle und der Entwicklung neuer zuverlässiger Vorhersagemodelle wurde vom Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) eine Datenbank zur Wärmeübertragung von überkritischem Wasser im Rohr mit mehr als 35 000 experimentellen Daten aufgebaut. Eine gründliche Analyse und Bewertung wurde durchgeführt, um einen Einblick in den Charakter der Datenbank zu geben. Experimentelle Daten aus verschiedenen Quellen werden verglichen, um die Abweichung zwischen verschiedenen Quellen zu ermitteln und die Zuverlässigkeit der Datenbank darzustellen.
