Because of the practical importance of two-phase instabilities, substantial efforts have been made to date to understand the physical phenomena governing such instabilities and to develop computational tools to model the dynamics. The purpose of this study is to present a numerical model for the analysis of flow-induced instabilities in forced-convection steam generator. The model is based on the assumption of homogeneous two-phase flow and ther- modynamic equilibrium of the phases. The thermal capacity of the heater wall has been included in the analysis. The model is used to analyze the flow instabilities in the steam generator and to study the effects of system pressure, mass flux, inlet temperature and inlet/outlet restriction, gap size, the ratio of do / di, and the ratio of qi / qo on the system be- havior.

Prediction of critical heat flux (CHF) in annular flow is important for the safety of once - through steam generator and the reactor core under accident conditions. The dryout in annular flow occurs at the point where the film is depleted due to entrainment, deposition, and evaporation. The film thickness, film mass flow rate along axial distribution, and CHF are calculated in vertical upward round tube on the basis of a separated flow model of annular flow. The theoretical CHF values are higher than those derived from experimental data, with error being within 30%.

Wet steam condensing flow in low-pressure steam turbine leads to efficiencylosses and blade erosions. In order to investigate this problem by numerical approach, anEulerian/Eulerian model has been developed, in which the wet steam is regarded as mixture comprisingtwo coupled systems: the vapor phase and the liquid phase. These two systems are both described byconservation equations. High resolution TVD scheme is employed to capture condensing phenomena inwet steam flow. This model has been validated by numerical simulations of condensing flows in 1D and2D nozzles. Compared with experimental data, a good agreement is observed. This Eulerian/Eulerianmodel can be extended to 3D calculation of condensing flow.

The application of spray towers for CO2 capture is a development trend in recent years. However, most of the previous jobs were conducted in a cylindrical tower by using a single spray nozzle, whose configuration and performance is not good enough for industrial application. To solve this problem, the present work proposed a diameter-varying spray tower and a new spray mode of dual-nozzle opposed impinging spray to enhance the heat and mass transfer of CO2 absorption process. Experiments were performed to investigate the mass transfer performance (in terms of the CO2 removal rate (η) and the overall mass transfer coefficient (KGae)) of the improved spray tower under various operating conditions. Experimental results showed that the liquid to gas ratio and mole ratio of MEA to C02 are major factors, which affect the absorption performance and the maximums of η and KGae that are 94.0% and 0.574 kmol. m^-3·h^-1·kPa^-1, respectively, under the experimental conditions. Furthermore, new correlations to predict the mass transfer coefficient of the proposed spray tower are developed in various CO2 concentrations with a Pearson Correlation Coefficient over 90%.

On the basis of the analysis of numerical simulation methods for the complicated domain between tube bundles, an improved Lagragian discrete vortex method (DVM) and corresponding algorithm are put forward to solve the practical difficulties of flow across tube bundles. With this method the amount of vortices can be reduced considerably, which makes quick calculation possible. Applied to the practical configuration of horizontal tube bundles, the DVM simulation is carried out and compared with the experimental results. Both the transient flow field and the profile of mean velocity and fluctuations are in good agreement with experimental results, which indicate that the DVM is suitable for the simulation of single-phase flow across tube bundles.

In slag tapping furnaces, char particles undergo a series of complex structural evolution before and after being captured by the liquid slag layer. The evolution results affect the carbon conversion rate and are affected by temperature fluctuations, especially in the ash melting temperature zone. Experimental study on structure evolution of bituminous char prepared at around ash melting temperature was carried out on a fixed bed. The morphology, specific surface area and mineral chemical composition were measured at different temperatures. Experimental results show that the number density and the size of ash droplets exuded on the char surface increased significantly with the increasing temperature. The ash specific surface area from gasification was slightly greater than that from combustion. The residual content of chloride in the char become 1% and the contents of Fe, K, Mg and Na decrease significantly during the pyrolysis process across the ash melting temperature zone. The diffraction intensity of oldhamite increase which indicates the reaction of carbon substrate with minerals during the evolution;the diffraction intensity of quartz dramatically decreases for the reason of anorthite generation. The ignition and burnout temperatures of char were found to increase and the combustion stability decreased with the increasing pyrolysis temperature.

Photovoltaic-powered electrolysis systems represent a promising approach for large-scale renewable energy storage, with direct-coupled systems offering particular advantages in terms of reduced system complexity and cost. However, a mismatch issue between photovoltaic (PV) and electrolysis (EC) modules of these systems could be caused by suboptimal structural design and flow rate control strategies, leading to a significant reduction in hydrogen production performance. While these problems could potentially be addressed through numerical simulation, existing low-dimension models are overly simplified due to the assumptions of spatial homogeneity, failing to adequately capture the intricate coupling mechanisms among optical, thermal, electrical and gas-liquid flow phenomena in these complex systems. In this study, a novel 3D opto-electro-thermal model has been developed for direct-coupled systems, utilizing semiconductor drift-diffusion equations and a gas-liquid two-phase flow model within each grid cell. This advanced model facilitates comprehensive performance assessments during the optimization of the fundamental system structure (PV-EC), including the evaluation of novel system configurations that integrate photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) and contact-based thermal designs. Additionally, it could help to streamline flow rate control by optimizing the relative sizing between the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) of EC and PV modules. The results demonstrate that the PV/T-EC Non-thermal integration structure achieves the maximum Solar-to-Hydrogen efficiency (STH). Moreover, by setting the relative sizing at 2.25 %, maintaining the flow rate in a wide range without precise control could be sufficient to achieve outstanding and stable STH under real-world fluctuating conditions. This allows the flow rate control strategy to be effectively streamlined. The findings could provide guidance for optimizing hydrogen production performance by refining system structure and flow
