The power grid peaking capacity is insufficient due to the increasing installed capacity of renewable power. Moreover, it is also restricted by the operation mode of combined heat and power units (CHPs), the minimum electricity loads of which are determined by the heat load. It is significant to study the heat-electricity decoupling technologies for CHPs. Therefore, the low-pressure steam turbine renovation technology is studied in this paper with a 300MW unit as reference case. Results show that the minimum electric load rate and the coal consumption are decreased, and the heat-electricity ratio is increased significantly for CHP with low-pressure steam turbine renovation. When the heat load is 1200 GJ/h, the minimum electric load rate and coal consumption with low-pressure steam turbine renovation can be reduced by 32.4 and 30.9 % respectively. The heat-electricity ratio can be increased by 68.8 % after renovation of low-pressure steam turbine.

To investigate Counter-Current flow (CCF) characteristics in the Pressurizer Surge Line (PZR SL) assembly of the large advanced passive nuclear reactors, steam-water CCF experiments are carried out on a stainless steel test section, which is a 1:4 scaled-down model of the AP1000 PZR SL assembly. The inner diameter of the test PZR SL pipe is 90 mm, which also belongs to the large-diameter pipes, as same as the prototype PZR SL pipe, in the field of Counter-Current flow Limitation (CCFL) researches. The present steam-water CCFL experiments are conducted under normal pressure and saturated temperature, with the PZR simulator collapse water level ranging from 350 to 900 mm. CCFL becomes severer at higher steam flow rate, and the most limiting CCFL effect locates between the PZR simulator bottom head and the vertical part of PZR SL pipe. The onset of CCFL and zero liquid penetration (ZP) are two critical conditions in the CCF development process, dividing the process into three stages: Before-CCFL, Partial-CCFL, and CCFL-ZP. According to the local CCFL conditions, the development of the CCFL process is also divided into four-regions since onset of CCFL. The present steam-water CCF data are well normalized in terms of dimensionless Kutateladze (Ku) numbers, and a Ku-type empirical partial CCFL correlation is developed. The comparisons of the present CCF data and partial CCFL correlation with the CCF data and correlations of former experiment researches validate that the present empirical partial CCFL correlation is conservative to predict steam-water partial CCFL in the prototype PZR SL assembly of the large advanced passive nuclear reactors.

Laminar flame characteristics of the blends of acetylene and methanol were numerically studied at 0.1 MPa and 363 K. A model was adopted to do the simulations with the accuracy validated with published laminar flame speeds data of methanol and acetylene. Simulation results showed that the methanol addition into acetylene leads to the significant increase of laminar flame speed with the equivalence ratio corresponding the maximum value shifting to the rich side. The reasons behind were analyzed and found the thermal and chemical kinetic effects both contribute the laminar flame speed variation while the contribution of the diffusion effect can be ignored. Besides, the equivalence ratio shift is found to be closely related to the adiabatic temperature and OH concentrations.

Lift-off velocity of saltating sand particles in wind-blown sand located at 1.0 mm above the sand bed surface was measured using a phase Doppler particle analyzer in a wind tunnel. The results show that the probability distribution of lift-off velocity can be expressed as a lognormal function, while that of lift-off angle follows an exponential function. The probability distribution of lift-off angle conditioned for each lift-off velocity also follows an exponential function, with a slope that becomes steeper with increasing lift-off velocity. This implies that the probability distribution of lift-off velocity is strongly dependent on the lift-off angle. However, these lift-off parameters are generally treated as an independent joint probability distribution in the literature. Numerical simulations were carried out to investigate the effects of conditional versus independent joint probability distributions on the vertical sand mass flux distribution. The simulation results derived from the conditional joint probability distribution agree much better with experimental data than those from the independent ones. Thus, it is better to describe the lift-off velocity of saltating sand particles using the conditional joint probability distribution. These results improve our understanding of saltation processes in wind-blown sand.
