As one of the most promising clean alternative fuels, natural gas has been widely used in automobile engines. However, due to the slow burning velocity of natural gas and its poor lean-burn ability, hydrogen is often added to improve its combustion behavior. Researches on the fundamental laminar premixed flame characteristics of CH4/H2 blends are of great significance to understand the combustion process in practical combustors. The intrinsic instability of laminar flame is one of the classic issues in flame dynamics, which presents the dynamic response of laminar premixed flamelets to weak perturbations. By studying dynamic mechanism of intrinsic instability, we can estimate the burning velocity more accurately and gain a deeper insight into the turbulent combustion process in spark ignition engines. In this study, the cellular instabilities of laminar premixed CH4/H2/air flat flames were studied using McKenna burner with OH-PLIF technique. It was found that the addition of H2 can broaden the lean combustion limit on flat flame burner with which the cellular instabilities were brought. The digital and OH-PLIF images were obtained to calculate the quantitative parameters of cellular length scale, which is associated with the properties of fuel mixtures such as Lewis number, Markstein number et al. Through the theoretic analysis, we make a thorough investigation on the mechanism about how the cellular scales were determined.

The EAST superconducting tokamak, an advanced steady-state plasma physics experimental device, has been built at the Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. All the toroidal field magnets and poloidal field magnets, made of NbTi/Cu cable-in-conduit conductor, are cooled with forced flow supercritical helium at 3.8 K. The cryogenic system of EAST consists of a 2 kW/4 K helium refrigerator and a helium distribution system for the cooling of coils, structures, thermal shields, bus-lines, etc. The high-speed turbo-expander is an important refrigerating component of the EAST cryogenic system. In the turbo-expander, the axial supporting technology is critical for the smooth operation of the rotor bearing system. In this paper, hydrostatic thrust bearings are designed based on the axial load of the turbo-expander. Thereafter, a computational fluid dynamics-based numerical model of the aerostatic thrust bearing is set up to evaluate the bearing performance. Tilting effect on the pressure distribution and bearing load is analyzed for the thrust beating. Bearing load and stiffness are compared with different static supply pressures. The net force from the thrust bearings can be calculated for different combinations of bearing clearance and supply pressure.

Fully Ceramic Microencapsulated (FCM) fuel, fabricated using 3D printing technology, incorporates traditional Tristructural-Isotropic (TRISO) fuel particles embedded within a 3D-printed SiC matrix. This fuel type shows great potential for compact, high-temperature nuclear reactors. However, comprehensive performance analysis remains challenging due to the multilayered structure, complex material properties, and the irradiation behavior of numerous TRISO particles within the matrix. To address these challenges, this study aims to apply finite element (FE)-based computational homogenization to evaluate the fuel’s thermomechanical properties. First, a detailed finite element analysis (FEA) of a single TRISO particle’s performance was conducted, focusing primarily on the Buffer-IPyC gap size change during irradiation, a critical factor influencing the fuel’s thermal performance. Second, the homogenization of a single TRISO particle was performed using FEA, accounting for the changes in the Buffer-IPyC gap size. Finally, homogenized TRISO particles were randomly distributed and perfectly bonded within a 3D-printed SiC matrix to form a Representative Volume Element (RVE). The FE homogenization of the RVE was then conducted to derive the effective thermomechanical properties of the FCM fuel. The packing fraction of TRISO particles in the matrix ranged from 10 % to 50 %, with temperature and burnup conditions spanning 800–1600 K and 0–16 % FIMA, respectively. Results show that irradiation significantly affects the effective properties of the fuel, though this impact diminishes as burnup increases. Additionally, the effective thermal conductivity of the FCM fuel decreases with increasing TRISO packing fraction, assuming the thermal conductivity of the SiC matrix exceeds that of TRISO particles. This study provides a valuable reference for the design and optimization of FCM fuel for future nuclear applications.

Laminar premixed stoichiometric methane/hydrogen/oxygen/argon flames were investigated with tun- able synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photoionization and molecular-beam sampling mass spec- trometry techniques. The methane/hydrogen fuel blends with hydrogen volumetric fraction of 0, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% were studied. All observed flame species, including stable intermediates and radi- cals in the flames, were detected by measuring photoionization mass spectra and photoionization effi- ciency (PIE) spectra. Mole fraction profiles of major species and intermediates were derived by scan- ning burner at some selected photon energies near ionization thresholds. The influence of hydrogen addition on mole fraction of major species and intermediates was analyzed. The results show that the major species mole fraction of CO, CO2 and CH4 decreases with the increase of hydrogen fraction. The mole fraction of intermediates measured in this experiment decreases remarkably with the increase of hydrogen fraction. This would be due to the increase of H and OH radicals by hydrogen addition and the high diffusivity and activity of H radical promoting the chemical reaction. In addition, the increase of H/C ratio with the increase of hydrogen fraction also leads to the decrease of the mole fraction of car- bon-related intermediates and contributes to the decrease of unburned and incomplete combustion products.

Within the range of pressures from 23 to 30 MPa, mass velocities from 600 to 1200 kg/(m 2 s), and heat fluxes from 200 to 600 kW/m 2 , experiments have been performed for an investigation on heat transfer to supercritical water in inclined upward smooth tubes with an inner diameter of 26 mm and an inclined angle of 20° from the horizon. The results indicated that heat transfer characteristics of supercritical water are not uniform along the circumference of the inclined tube. An increase in the mass velocity of the working fluid can decrease and even eliminate the non-uniformity. Properties of supercritical fluid acutely vary with the temperature near the pseudocritical point. While the ratio of the mass velocity to the heat flux exceeded 2.16 kg/(kWs), heat transfer enhancement occurred near the pseudocritical point;conversely, heat transfer deterioration occurred while the ratio of the mass velocity to the heat flux was lower than 2.16 kg/(kWs). As the pressure increased far from the critical pressure, the amount of deterioration decreased. Correlations of heat transfer coefficients of the forced-convection heat transfer on the top and bottom of the tube have been provided, and can be used to predict heat transfer coefficient of spirally water wall in supercritical boilers.
