The nozzle exit position (NXP) is a significant parameter for an ejector. In this work, a two dimensional (2D) homogeneous CFD model is developed to simulate the two-phase ejector used in transcritical CO2 refrigeration cycle and NXP is focused on. After model validation, the flow fields in ejectors with different NXPs are simulated and an optimal NXP is obtained. According to the numerical results, with the increase of the NXP, a higher velocity and lower pressure are achieved for the primary fluid in the suction chamber which enhances the entrainment of the secondary fluid. Oppositely, the flow area of the primary fluid at the mixer inlet increases with the NXP which reduces the secondary flow rate. A compromise between these two factors leads to the optimal NXP with the highest entrainment ratio under the same operating condition. The results are helpful to the optimal design and control of the ejector.

In this paper a dynamic model of transcritical CO2 ejector expansion refrigeration cycle with two-stage evaporation (EERC-TE) is established to track the transient response of system parameter at two regulation methods which includes the vapour quality adjustment and the entrainment ratio adjustment. The effectiveness of system model is verified and the results show the predictions have a agreement with the experimental data. Based on the unit change of ejector nozzle throat area and volume flow rate of chilled water of the second evaporator, the dynamic responses of pressure in gas cooler, the first and second evaporator, mass flow rate of primary flow, entrainment ratio and vapour quality of separator inlet are compared. The regulation of ejector nozzle throat area causes relatively large system responses compared to that of chilled water flow rate of the second evaporator. This work is useful to guide system control and the improvement of system performance.

A two-way coupling three-dimensional Vortex-In-Cell (VIC) method is developed for the simulation of gas-solid turbulent flow. The evolution of vortex elements and the motion of solid particles are tracked in the Lagrangian frame, while the flow field is solved by the vorticity Poisson equation on the Eulerian grid. Two-way coupling is implemented by introducing a vorticity source term induced by the motion of particle. This method is applied to simulate the particulate jet generated by solid particles falling from a circular orifice into unbounded quiescent air. The simulation results agree well with the experiment conducted by Ogata, which confirmed the validation of this method. The simulation results demonstrate that the air velocity radial distribution due to the particulate jet satisfies Gaussian distribution. The particle flow rate has little influence on the spread of particles, while velocity of particles increases with increasing the particle flow rate.

With the CPC integrated photovoltaic / thermal (PV/T) system as the research object, this paper studies the design techniques, builds experimental platform of the system and analyzes its thermal and electrical performance. Firstly, the basic architecture parameters of CPC is designed and the key factor which influences the concentrating uniformity of CPC is found via the software named lighttools simulation so that the light distribution uniformity of PV panel is improved. Secondly, the manufacture technique of PV/T collector is designed, including the determination of the size of PV module and the external and internal dimensions of the flat cassette collector. The entire PV/T collector is manufactured by means of direct lamination. Finally, according to the manufactured CPC and PV/T, the experimental platform of CPC integrated PV/T system, whose power is 1kW, is built. The thermal-electrical performance evaluation model of the experimental platform is established. The thermal-electrical performance of the experimental platform is tested and the results show that the water temperature of the outlet can be above 45°C and the total efficiency can reach 60%.

In this study, the relevant thermal-hydraulic, mechanic-material and burnup effect calculation models were established. On the basis of these mathematic and physic models, a thermal- mechanic-material coupling analysis code for a dispersion-plate-type fuel assembly was independently developed with the consideration of the burnup effects. The coupling program was applied to perform the thermal-mechanical-material behavior analysis of a dispersion-plate-type fuel assembly. Major physical parameters at different burnup stages were well predicted, including flux distribution, temperature profile, Mises stress and mechanic deformations. The result shows that geometric sizes of flow channels are the key parameters determining the coolant flux distribution and the temperature profile of the edge plate presents substantial asymmetry as a result of asymmetric heat transfer caused by the asymmetric geometry. Furthermore, the equivalent stress of base material increased rapidly with burnup because of the thermal expansion and burnup effects, which resulted in substantial plastic deformation and mechanical damage. In addition, the mechanism and process of blistering was investigated for blistering prediction. The result shows that due to the increasing fission gas pressure and the deteriorating yield stress of the cladding, fuel plate blistering may happen when the burnup depth up to a certain value and fuel plate will finally fall into failure as a result of over plastic deformation.

ECC safety injection nozzles are usually placed at the primary circulation pipelines as for the Gen II-plus nuclear reactor. Small Break Loss of Coolant Accident (SBLOCA) may lead to Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS) on the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) wall. Based on the Emergency Core Cooling (ECC) of a 2nd generation plus PWR, the CFD software CFX was adopted to simulate the thermal mixing phenomenon of the sub-cooled water from safety injection nozzle and high temperature water or steam from the cold leg which later forms into stratified flow. Also the steam-water simulation takes the steam condensation into consideration and steam condensation is characterized by a relatively large interfacial area between the two phases. For simulations of single-phase thermal mixing, the temperature profiles of different points were obtained and agreed well with the experiment. For steam mixing with water, the gas volume profile and the condensation rate of the steam were obtained and compared with the experiment, and the effect of different injection nozzle water velocities were also studied.
