Abstract A systematic CFD investigation was conducted to assess the core zone (CZ) casing heat transfer of a large civil aircraft engine. Three key engine operating conditions, maximum takeoff (MTO), cruise (CRZ) and ground idle (GI) were analyzed. Steady flows were assumed. Turbulence was simulated using the realizable k-epsilon model in conjunction with the scalable wall function. Buoyancy effect was taken into account. Radiation was calculated using the discrete ordinate (DO) model. It was shown that the forced convection heat transfer dominates in most of the casing surface in the core zone, and radiation is of second importance in general. However, in some areas where both convection and radiation heat transfer are weak but the latter is relatively greater in magnitude than the former, radiation heat transfer could thus become dominant. In addition, the overall impact of radiation on casing heat transfer increases from MTO to CRZ and GI conditions, as the strength of engine load decreases. The overall effect of buoyancy on casing heat transfer is small, but could be noticeable in some local areas where flow velocity is low. The insight into heat transfer features on the engine core zone casing supported by quantified CFD evidences is the first in the public domain, as far as authors are aware.

Two sets of experimental data for cylindrical canisters with thermal energy storage applications were examined in this paper: 1) Ground Experiments and 2) Space Experiments. A 2-D computational model was developed for unsteady heat transfer (conduction and radiation) with phase-change. The radiation heat transfer employed a finite volume method. The following was found in this study: 1) Ground Experiments, the convection heat transfer is equally important to that of the radiation heat transfer; Radiation heat transfer in the liquid is found to be more significant than that in the void; Including the radiation heat transfer in the liquid resulted in lower temperatures (about 15 K) and increased the melting time (about 10 min.); Generally, most of the heat flow takes place in the radial direction. 2) Space Experiments, Radiation heat transfer in the void is found to be more significant than that in the liquid (exactly the opposite to the Ground Experiments); Accordingly, the location and size of the void affects the performance considerably; Including the radiation heat transfer in the void resulted in lower temperatures (about 40 K).

This work analyses the contribution of radiation heat transfer in the cooling of a pebble bed modular reactor. The mathematical model, developed for a porous medium, is based on a set of equations applied to an annular geometry. Previous major works dealing with the subject have considered the forced convection mode and often did not take into account the radiation heat transfer. In this work, only free convection and radiation heat transfer are considered. This can occur during the removal of residual heat after shutdown or during an emergency situation. In order to derive the governing equations of radiation heat transfer, a steady-state in an isotropic and emissive porous medium (CO2) is considered. The obtained system of equations is written in a dimensionless form and then solved. In order to evaluate the effect of radiation heat transfer on the total heat removed, an analytical method for solving the system of equations is used. The results allow quantifying both radiation and free convection heat transfer. For the studied situation, they show that, in a pebble bed modular reactor, more than 70% of heat is removed by radiation heat transfer when CO2 is used as the coolant gas.

Combustion characteristic of natural gas (NG) in a symmetrical combustion chamber and external convection heat transfer characteristic of water flow has been investigated numerically. The burner using a combination of swirling premixed and jet diffusion flames to achieve high flame stability. The combined eddy dissipation model/finite rate chemistry (EDM/FRC) combustion models coupled with RNG k-ε turbulence model were applied to model turbulence combustion. The discrete transfer method (DTM) coupled with weighted sum of gray gas model (WSGGM) were applied to solve the radiation heat transfer. Accurate calculation results were obtained by coupling calculation of combustion in the combustion chamber and external water flow and heat transfer. The temperature fields, heat transfer characteristic in the combustor and water tank were obtained by numerical simulation. The effects of water inlet mass flow rate on combustion and external heat transfer characteristics were discussed. The results indicated that water flow has significant effect on external heat transfer. The temperature distribution is quite uniform in the water tank. Radiation heat transfer plays a dominant role of heat transfer in the combustor.

A dry method is one of fuel debris retrieval methods for decommissioning of TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station. If stopping the water leakage from a damaged primary containment vessel (PCV) is impossible, the dry method may be adopted. Besides, the dry method may be also adopted to retrieve the fuel debris in a pedestal under a reactor pressure vessel (RPV) because accessing and retrieval of the fuel debris from the lateral sides of PCV may be adopted for retrieval of the fuel debris in the pedestal. However, the decay heat must be removed from the fuel debris without water because fuel debris is exposed to the air in the dry method. Thus, we must evaluate the air cooling performance for the fuel debris in the dry method. Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has started the research project to develop an evaluation method by the JUPITER to understand the air cooling performance for fuel debris in the dry method. In the project, free convection heat transfer and the radiation heat transfer experiments for air are also conducted for validation of the JUPITER. In this paper, the free convection heat transfer, the radiation heat transfer, the conduction heat transfer and the Rayleigh number for the free convection in the simplified model were estimated to decide experimental conditions. We confirmed the free convection and the radiation heat transfer were important to estimate heat transfer of the debris exposed to the air in the RPV pedestal. Considering the estimations, the experiment for heat transfer and flow visualization of free convection adjacent to upward-facing horizontal surface was conducted to validate the calculation of the turbulent free convection by the JUPITER. From comparing between the calculation result and the experimental result, we confirmed that the calculation result of the JUPITER was qualitatively reasonable.

Dry Storage

As most of the nuclear power plants, on-site spent fuel pools (SFP) of Taiwan’s plants were not originally designed with a storage capacity for all the spent fuel generated over the operating life by their reactors. For interim spent fuel storage, dry casks are one of the most reliable measures to on-site store over-filled assemblies from SFPs. The NUHOMS®-52B System consisting of a canister stored horizontally in a concrete module is selected for thermal evaluation in this paper. The performance of each cask in criticality, radioactive, material and thermal needs to be carefully addressed to ensure its enduring safety. Regarding the thermal features of dry storage casks, three different kinds of heat transfer mechanisms are involved, which include natural convection heat transfer outside and/or inside the canister, radiation heat transfer inside and outside the canister, and conduction heat transfer inside the canister. To analyze the thermal performance of dry storage casks, RELAP5-3D is adopted to calculate the natural air convection and radiation heat transfer outside the canister to the ambient environment, and ANSYS is applied to calculate the internal conduction and radiation heat transfer. During coupling iteration between codes, the heat energy across the canister wall needs to be conserved, and the inner wall temperature of the canister needs to be converged. By the coupling of RELAP5-3D and ANSYS, the temperature distribution within each fuel assembly inside canisters can be calculated and the peaking cladding temperature can be identified.

A three-dimensional radiation-heat-transfer analysis and a convection-heat-transfer analysis are combined in order to determine the temperature distribution in a rotating wafer in a cylindrical lamp heating apparatus for rapid thermal processing. The calculated results show that the temperature variation in the wafer increases 1.4 K by the effect of natural convection, when inlet gas velocity is 0.1 m/s during 1273 K steady-state heating of the non-rotating wafer. The effect of gas convection on the temperature variations in the wafer can be minimized when the wafer is rotating in an axisymmetric apparatus and the heating rates of the lamps are optimally controlled.

The reliability of the majority of electrical and electromechanical systems depends on their ability to dissipate heat generated by their internal components. Application of parallel plates for cooling electronic equipment is one of the most common methods of heat dissipation through convection and radiation. Others have investigated the optimum spacing between vertical plates for the case of maximum natural convection heat transfer. The goal of this study was to determine the optimum spacing for the maximum radiation heat transfer. Analytic calculations were carried out to determine the optimum spacing. A mathematical interpolation was used to simplify the view factor correlations and from this an exact correlation was obtained to determine the optimum spacing for radiation heat transfer. It was concluded that for a known plate surface area, the optimum spacing for the maximum radiation decreases when the ratio of height over length of the plates increases. For fixed geometric parameters, the optimum spacing for radiation will display a skewed parabolic distribution when the surface emissivity of the plates was increased.

Abstract A comprehensive radiation heat transfer model and a reduced NOx kinetics model were coupled with a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code and then used to investigate the radiation heat transfer, pollutant formation and flow characteristics in a glass furnace. The radiation model solves the spectral radiative transport equation in the combustion space of emitting and absorbing media, i.e., CO2, H2O, and soot and emission/reflection from the furnace crown. The advanced numerical scheme for calculating the radiation heat transfer is extremely effective in conserving energy between radiation emission and absorption. A parametric study was conducted to investigate the impact of operating conditions on the furnace performance with emphasis on the investigation into the formation of NOx.
