Abstract
In the practical application of engineering, the phenomenon of steam underwater immersion jet under high back pressure conditions (>0.1 MPa) exists. However, most of the current research on steam immersion jet condensation flow patterns and their boundaries is conducted under atmospheric pressure conditions (0.1 MPa). The applicability of condensation flow patterns and related prediction formulas derived under atmospheric pressure to high back pressure conditions remains to be validated. Based on the experimental research, the condensation pattern of steam underwater immersion jet under different back pressure conditions is identified, and the condensation behavior of the jet under different back pressure conditions is clarified by comparing and analyzing the visual images and dynamic pressure characteristics of different condensation flow patterns, and the influence law of back pressure and other parameters on the condensation flow pattern boundary is mastered. This study fills the gap in the research of steam underwater immersion jet under the condition of high back pressure, which has important scientific research significance and engineering application value.
期刊介绍:
Progress in Nuclear Energy is an international review journal covering all aspects of nuclear science and engineering. In keeping with the maturity of nuclear power, articles on safety, siting and environmental problems are encouraged, as are those associated with economics and fuel management. However, basic physics and engineering will remain an important aspect of the editorial policy. Articles published are either of a review nature or present new material in more depth. They are aimed at researchers and technically-oriented managers working in the nuclear energy field.
Please note the following:
1) PNE seeks high quality research papers which are medium to long in length. Short research papers should be submitted to the journal Annals in Nuclear Energy.
2) PNE reserves the right to reject papers which are based solely on routine application of computer codes used to produce reactor designs or explain existing reactor phenomena. Such papers, although worthy, are best left as laboratory reports whereas Progress in Nuclear Energy seeks papers of originality, which are archival in nature, in the fields of mathematical and experimental nuclear technology, including fission, fusion (blanket physics, radiation damage), safety, materials aspects, economics, etc.
3) Review papers, which may occasionally be invited, are particularly sought by the journal in these fields.
