Abstract
Integrated target module with a solid beam window, and cooled by reactor primary coolant is a good contender for Accelerator Driven System (ADS) and the cooling of the beam window is a key technique in it. The numerical analysis of two beam profiles (circular/double-circular scan) for the target assembly was performed by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method, and a combing method was used to optimize the thermal–hydraulic design. The calculation results indicated that a nozzle was required to lower the maximum external surface temperature of the beam window to below 400℃. This can be achieved by reducing the heat deposited densities or increasing the velocity in the main heat deposited zone without enhancing the heat convection at the window surface, this will effectively reduce the temperature, but without increasing the temperature difference in the beam window. The optimization results indicate that the maximum temperature of the beam window is 393.75℃ and 384.94℃ for the circular scan and the double-circular scan, respectively. Additionally, the maximum temperature difference is 23.0℃ and 17.1℃ for the circular scan and the double-circular scan, respectively.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Nuclear Energy provides an international medium for the communication of original research, ideas and developments in all areas of the field of nuclear energy science and technology. Its scope embraces nuclear fuel reserves, fuel cycles and cost, materials, processing, system and component technology (fission only), design and optimization, direct conversion of nuclear energy sources, environmental control, reactor physics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics, structural analysis, fuel management, future developments, nuclear fuel and safety, nuclear aerosol, neutron physics, computer technology (both software and hardware), risk assessment, radioactive waste disposal and reactor thermal hydraulics. Papers submitted to Annals need to demonstrate a clear link to nuclear power generation/nuclear engineering. Papers which deal with pure nuclear physics, pure health physics, imaging, or attenuation and shielding properties of concretes and various geological materials are not within the scope of the journal. Also, papers that deal with policy or economics are not within the scope of the journal.
