Severe accident analysis is important for the safety evaluation of a nuclear power plant (NPP). In this paper, analysis has been performed for a Chinese three-loop Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) severe accident induced by loss of coolant accident (LOCA) along with Station- Block-Out (SBO) using the MIDAC code. The simulation results show the influence of different break sizes in the cold leg on the severe accident progression. Important parameters, such as primary coolant system (RCS) pressure, core melting time, pressure vessel rupture time. are analyzed with three different break sizes in the cold leg. With the break size of 0.002 m 2 , the reactor core starts to melt at 1481 s and the lower head fails at 10,317 s after the accident occurs. With a larger break size of 0.05 m 2 , the reactor core starts to melt at 1066 s and the lower head fails at 2473 s. If the break size is further enlarged to 0.2 m 2 , the reactor core starts to melt at 422 s and the lower head fails at 1757 s. Another case in which a hot leg break is with the size of 0.002 m 2 is performed. The reactor core starts to melt at 3641 s and the lower head fails at 14,744 s. It is less severe than the cold leg break accident. The severe accident prevention and mitigation measures are summarized based on the computation results. The results are helpful to develop the management strategies and guideline for the severe accident of the similar types of PWRs.

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%.

Condensation of two-phase flow inside a tube within sub-cooled coolant injected show a complicated phenomenon which affects both the pressure drops from the upstream to downstream and the void fraction distribution in tube. This phenomenon always appears in the T-junction which kind of structure could be found in nuclear power plants design. The investigation about injection to two-phase flow in this structure can help us predict the hydrodynamic phenomenon of condensation heat transfer. Distribution of the fluid temperature and heat transfer coefficient (HTC) due to fluid-fluid mixing and steam condensation had been considered to be a significant process which is included in the pressurized thermal shock (PTS) research. Previous researches had built the integral effect test to analysis the effect of thermal mixing. However, the practical condensate process in T-junction injected is too hard to be predict accurately, which is contributed to the structure, the geometric dimension, the mass flow rate between the main and branch pipe, the flow patterns, the void fraction of two-phase flow, temperature of flow, pressure, etc. We analyzed the process of cooling water injecting from the branch pipe into a horizontal main pipe, and also focus on the phenomena of water injection in steam or different flow patterns. We had set some thermo couples inserting to the tube to keep observing the temperature field inside. The initial conditions of the experiment about the flow pattern before the injection includes stratified flow, wavy flow, annular flow and dispersed flow. We also took the heat dissipation between the test facility and surround into consideration. The experiment is a separate effect test program which based on the phenomena about condensation in T-junction with 45° incidence injection and progressed on ordinary pressure.

Generally, the Offset Strip Fin (OSF) in a plate-fin heat exchanger provides a greater heat transfer coefficient than plain plate-fin, but it also leads to an increase in flow friction. A new parameter, called relative entropy generation distribution factor, Ψ * , is proposed to evaluate the thermodynamic advantages of OSFs. This parameter presents a ratio of relative changes of entropy generation. The relative effects of the geometrical parameters α, γ and δ are discussed. The results show that there exist the optimum values of α and γ at a certain flow condition, which obviously maximize the degree of the heat transfer enhancement of OSFs.

When a coal-fired unit operates at a partial load, the decrease at regenerative steam pressure leads to a decrease in boiler feedwater temperature, affecting not only the thermal economical efficiency, but also the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) denitrification effect and the boiler combustion stability. A feedwater system with the thermal vapor compressor has been studied in the present paper. The high pressure regenerative steam is injected by the live steam to heat boiler feedwater to increase its temperature. Mathematical models of the thermal vapor compressor, boiler and turbine regenerative system are established to calculate the performance of a 660MW supercritical air cooling unit at a 60% load. It was found that although the energy-saving effect is small, it is positive to improve the SCR denitrification effect and stabilize the boiler combustion.

In order to improve the energy utilization efficiency of thermal power plants and to solve the heating shortage problem in China, the absorption heat pump is usually employed to recover the heat of turbine exhaust steam for heating supply. In the existing references, few researchers considered the heating load characteristics when designing the recovery system. In this paper, the design thought of heat recovery system of turbine exhaust steam using absorption heat pump for heating supply based on heating load characteristics was presented. With an engineering case, the heat recovery system was designed and its economic efficiency was calculated.
