Frack Evolution and Destruction Characteristics of Mining Bottom Plate on Pressurized Water Based on Similar Simulation

Simulation of Computational Fluid Dynamic is applied to present the thermal performance of water-based Yttrium oxide nanofluid in subchannel of pressurized water reactor (PWR) system. Thermal hydraulic aspect such as pressure drop and heat transfer are estimated in typical conditions of pressurized water with flow rates ranged (20×103≤Re≤80×103) using fresh water (0 %vol.) and different volume fraction of water-Yttrium oxide nanofluid (2 and 4% vol.) as coolant fluid. Results were obtained and compared with correlations of single-phase pressure drop and convective heat transfer for the case of fully developed turbulent flow. The addition of Yttrium oxide nanoparticles to the coolant fluid in pressurized water reactor led to increase in convective heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop. Increasing the nanoparticle volume fraction of (2 and 4% vol.) causing an increase in the average Nu by 3.46% and 7.61%, respectively. The CFD model established in ANSYS software was validated by comparing the pressure drop of CFD results with Blasius correlation and Nu with Ma¨ıga et al. correlation and gave a good agreement.

The effects of 40 mm width bottom plates on the microstructural modifications and the mechanical properties of a 6 mm thick FSW AA6061-T6 joint have been investigated. The bottom plates are placed partially at the weld zone to absorb and dissipate heat during the welding process. An axial load of 5 to 7 kN, a rotational speed of 500 rpm, and a welding speed of 50 mm/min are employed as welding parameters. The size of the nugget zone (NZ) and heat-affected zone (HAZ) in the weld joints obtained from AISI 1040 steel bottom plate is more significant than that of weld joints obtained using copper bottom plate due to lower thermal conductivity of steel. Also, the weld joints obtained using copper bottom plate have fine grain microstructure due to the dynamic recrystallization. The friction stir welded joints obtained with copper bottom plate have exhibited higher ductility of 8.9% and higher tensile strength of 172 MPa as compared to the joints obtained using a steel bottom plate.

Main Components

AbstractA new solidification technique using cement-glass, which is a mixture of sodium silicate, cement, additives, and initiator of the solidification reaction, was developed for sodium borate liquid waste generated from pressurized water reactor (PWR) plants. The cement-glass could solidify eight times as much sodium borate as cement could, because the solidifying reaction of the cement-glass is not hindered by borate ions.The reaction mechanism of sodium silicate and phosphoric silicate (initiator), the main components of cement-glass, was studied through X-ray diffraction and compressive strength measurements. It was found that three- dimensionally bonded silicon dioxide was produced by polymerization of the two silicates. The leaching ratio of cesium from the cement-glass package was one-tenth that of the cement one. This low value was attributed to a high cesium adsorption ability of the cement-glass and it could be theoretically predicted accordingly.
