The bubble growth rate and heat and mass transfer rates across the boundary are essential for quantifying the flashing evaporation behavior. Prior simulations treated the bubble as a pure vapor, which dropped an important influencing factor driving bubble growth. A mathematical model is proposed for characterizing bubble growth in superheated cryogenic liquids, namely, liquid oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen. The model considers a non-condensable gas component in the bubble, which plays a significant role in the early stages of bubble growth. It not only influences the critical radius of the bubble but also affects the delay time of the growth. The behavior of bubbles in these cryogenic fluids was compared to that in water in terms of radius growth. The effect of the liquid state on the bubble radius was investigated. As expected, the bubble grew faster in the liquid at lower pressures and greater degrees of superheat. Bubbles with smaller critical radii require higher degrees of superheat or thermal disturbances to grow.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10812,"journal":{"name":"Cryogenics","volume":"146 ","pages":"Article 104016"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143159309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To satisfy these criteria, a TESU with a mass flow rate of 26 kg/s and a duration of 2 hr to 4 h is deemed essential. Ensuring an effectiveness exceeding 0.9 necessitates adherence to specific design principles. Firstly, optimal spatial configuration of heat exchange parts, approximately double the thermal penetration depth, is essential to maintain high performance. Deviations from this guideline can lead to decreased heat exchange efficiency and thermal interference. Moreover, as TESU duration increases, the relative heat capacity of the shuttle mass rises, diminishing overall effectiveness. Adequate heat capacity within the TESU is thus crucial to sustaining desired performance levels throughout the duration. Additionally, optimizing the aspect ratio of the TESU improves effectiveness by mitigating axial heat conduction losses, facilitating efficient energy storage and retrieval. By incorporating these design considerations, the performance and effectiveness of the TESU within LAES systems can be optimized, enabling seamless energy management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10812,"journal":{"name":"Cryogenics","volume":"146 ","pages":"Article 104015"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143159311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on CFD calculations, the distribution patterns of temperature, pressure, Mach number and other flow parameters of helium in the Laval nozzle are obtained, and the effects of the inlet parameters and the structure of the Laval nozzle on the liquefaction process are also explored. The results show that when the inlet temperature is 14 K, the inlet pressure is 1700 kPa, the outlet pressure is 45.021 kPa and the outlet temperature can be as low as 3.23 K, which is lower than the saturation temperature corresponding to the outlet pressure, which validates the feasibility of helium liquefaction in the Laval nozzle. Lower inlet temperature or higher inlet pressure is conducive to promoting the liquefaction of helium in the Laval nozzle and enhance its refrigeration effect.

Metal seated safety valves are generally prone to seat leakage due to surface roughness and even small degree of leak across seat is not acceptable for usage in cryogenic applications.In this study, the seat leakage across metal seated valves is mitigated by designing and developing a unique soft seal to replace metal seated safety valve seat. An experimental investigation is carried out to validate the developed soft-seated valve with ambient gases such as nitrogen and highly sensitive mass spectrometer test with gaseous helium. Liquid nitrogen tests are conducted to validate the performance of the developed soft seated valve at cryogenic temperatures. In addition, semi-empirical computations have been done based on contact surface characteristics and deformation analysis to assess seat leak rates with gaseous helium. The experimental test results indicated that the seat leak rate improved with increased cyclic operations compared to metal seated valves. The sealing characteristics improved to 0.61 x 10<sup>−6</sup> mbar.l/sec from 4.72 x 10<sup>−5</sup> mbar.l/sec at liquid nitrogen temperature. The computations of leak rate obtained by semi empirical computations was compared to that of experimental results and are found to be in close agreement.
