This study innovatively proposes a new type of device for helium liquefaction, the Laval nozzle. Compared with the traditional helium liquefaction equipment, it can achieve isentropic expansion and direct liquefaction without any moving components. 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. The structure of the Laval nozzle has an insignificant effect on helium liquefaction characteristics, but it can be used as a reference for optimizing the structure of the Laval nozzle in the future.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10812,"journal":{"name":"Cryogenics","volume":"146 ","pages":"Article 104017"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143159186","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}

The tank was discretized into nodes in the radial and axial directions to calculate two-dimensional axisymmetric flow with heat transfer between the solid wall and fluid. The nodes are connected by branches where momentum equations are solved to calculate the flowrates. The mass and energy conservation equations and the equation of state are solved to calculate pressure, temperature, and resident mass at the nodes. The energy conservation equations at the solid nodes were solved to calculate the temperature of the solid wall. The system of equations was solved by a combination of successive substitution and simultaneous Newton-Raphson method. The numerical model accounts for a) different regimes of pool boiling heat transfer, b) condensation of vapor around the spray droplets, c) condensation of vapor at the interface of the cooled injector and ullage, and d) condensation at the liquid–vapor interphase. The numerical predictions of tank pressure, filling rate, and wall temperatures were compared with the test data. The paper also presents the effect of nodal discretization by comparing the results of the 1D and 2D models and examines the effect of the droplet diameter on tank filling.
