Helical tube is one type of once-through stream generators in integrative nuclear device. The thermal-hydrodynamic instabilities in helical tubes of a once-through steam generator (HTOTSG) with exit-steam superheated were studied by using multi-variable liner-frequency-domain theory. Based on the drift-flux model, a small perturbation method, as well as Laplace transformation theory, was empolyed to linearize the system of partial differential equations. A computer code called HTOTSGM-D was developed to investigate the influences of inlet flow rate, inlet subcooling, heat flux, and system pressure on oscillations. The calculated results showed that the above factors must be considered comprehensively in once-through steam generator design and operation, even though the installation of the entrance throttles was still an effective way to stabilize the system.

During geological CO2storage, gravity segregation due to fluid density differences significantly affects the efficiency and safety of the process. This can result in premature CO2breakthrough, reduced storage efficiency, and increased leakage risks. This study aims to investigate how gas migrates in layered heterogeneous reservoirs over time due to prolonged density differences and to assess the resulting impact on fluid distribution. We use artificially layered heterogeneous sandstone cores for experimentation. After completing gas injection and water flooding experiments, the core was positioned with the low permeability layer (LPL) at the top and the high permeability layer (HPL) at the bottom for an extended period. Because the effects of density differences are not easily discernible during gas–water two-phase flow under typical driving forces, we applied micro-CT imaging technology to visualize and analyze how density differences influence gas flow within the core. The results demonstrate that during the static placement period following displacement, gas clusters exhibit different flow behaviors at the pore throats. Most gas clusters struggle to overcome the Jamin effect and enter into the upper pores; a few large-volume gas clusters, driven by density differences, partially pass through the throats into the upper pores, while the remaining portions are stranded within the throats, leading to a snap-off phenomenon; while some gas clusters successfully overcome the Jamin effect and enter the upper pores in significant numbers. The experimental findings indicate that the LPL effectively hinder the upward migration of the nonwetting phase gases from bottom and fluid density differences significantly influence gas–water distribution changes. This study provides critical insights for optimizing CO2storage and offers a new perspective on fluid behavior in layered heterogeneous reservoirs.

This article presents a theoretical investigation on the steady-state natural circulation characteristics of a new type of pressurized water reactor. Through numerically solving the one-dimensional steady-state single-phase conservative equations for the primary circuit and the steady-state two-phase drift-flux conservative equations for the secondary side of the steam generator, the natural circulation characteristics were studied. On the basis of the pre- liminary calculation analysis, it was found that natural circulation mass flow rate was proportional to the exponential function of the power and that the value of the exponent is related to the operating conditions of the secondary side of the steam generator. The higher the outlet pressure of the secondary side of the steam generator, the higher the pri- mary natural circulation mass flow rate. The larger height difference between the core center and the steam generator center is favorable for the heat removal capacity of the natural circulation.

Large amounts of energy are consumed during the manufacturing of cement especially during the calcination process which also emits large amounts of CO2. A large part of the energy used in the making of cement is released as waste heat. A process to capture CO2 by integrating the recovery and utilization of waste heat has been designed. Aspen Plus software was used to calculate the amount of waste heat and the efficiency of energy utilization. The data used in this study was based on a dry process cement plant with a 5-stage preheater and a precalciner with a cement output of 1 Mt/y. According to the calculations: 1) the generating capacity of the waste heat recovery system is 4.9MW. 2) The overall CO2 removal rate was as high as 78.5%. 3) The efficiency of energy utilization increased after the cement producing process was retrofitted with this integrated design.

A transient one-dimensional two-fluid model is proposed to investigate numerically the interfacial instability and the onset of slugging for liquid-gas flow in a horizontal duct. In the present model, the effects of surface tension and transverse variations in dynamic pressure are taken into account. The evolution of interfacial disturbances is displayed and compared with the linear viscous Kelvin-Helmholtz stability analyses. It shows that interfacial wave is more instable due to the non-linear effect. The model predicts well the stability limit of stratified flow in comparison with the experimental data, and also automatically tracks the onset of slugging. The results show that the initiation of hydrodynamic slugging is related to local interfacial instability. Based on the cycle of slugging, a model for slug frequency is presented, which predicts the trends of slug frequencies with gas/liquid flow rate well in comparison with the available data. The effects of physical properties on slugging have been examined. It is found that with the increase in the gas viscosity and liquid density the slugging would be inhibited, whereas, with the increase in liquid viscosity and gas density, the slugging can be promoted.

The key reasons that the present method cannot be used to solve the industrial multi- phase flow pattern recognition are clarified firstly. The prerequisite to realize the online recognition is proposed and recognition rules for partial flow pattern are obtained based on the massive experimental data. The standard templates for every flow regime feature are calculated with self-organization cluster algorithm. The multi-sensor data fusion method is proposed to realize the online recognition of multiphaseflow regime with the pressure and differential pressure signals, which overcomes the severe influence of fluid flow velocity and the oil fraction on the recognition. The online recognition method is tested in the practice, which has less than 10 percent measurement error. The method takes advantages of high confidence, good fault tolerance and less requirement of single sensor performance.

This paper studies the projectile electron loss cross sections of C^3+ colliding with atomic hydrogen in the frame work of extended over-barrier model at intermediate velocities (25 keV/u-600 keV/u). The electron loss is calculated in terms of the interaction between the screened target nucleus and the active projectile electron and of the interaction between projectile electron and target electron. Compared with the convergent close-coupling calculations, screening and anti-screening calculations, this model satisfactorily reproduces the experimentally obtained energy dependence of the electron-impact ionisation cross sections and the single electron loss cross sections over the energy range investigated here.
