项目摘要

Slush Fluids, such as slush hydrogen and slush nitrogen, are two-phase (solid-liquid) single-component cryogenic fluids containing solid particles in a liquid. The objectives of the present study are to investigate the forced convection heat transfer characteristic and thermo-fluid instability of slush nitrogen flowing in a pipe, and to develop the numerical code to evaluate the thermo-fluid phenomenon of the slush fluid flowing in a pipe.Experimental tests were performed with the slush nitrogen in the ranges of solid fraction from 0 to 40 wt% and mean velocity from 1 to 6m/s to obtain both the forced convection heat transfer coefficient and the frictional pressure drop flowing in a horizontal copper pipe. Compared with the experimental results of subcooled liquid nitrogen, the deterioration phenomena of heat transfer coefficients for slush nitrogen caused by the pressure drop reduction were found and cleared in the present study. This is the important and useful result for applying the slush fluid as a refrigerant to superconducting equipments.Three-dimensional numerical simulation method including the gravity effect based on the two-fluid model has been developed to clarify the characteristics of the cryogenic two-phase slush fluid in a straight pipe flow. It was found that the calculated results were in good agreement with the velocity distributions of solid particles measured by the new PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) method. In consequence, the developed numerical code has been verified to be able to calculate the slush flow characteristics with sufficient accuracy.

雪泥流体，例如雪泥氢和雪泥氮，是在液体中含有固体颗粒的两相（固液）单组分低温流体。本研究的目的是研究管道中流动的泥浆氮气的强制对流换热特性和热流体不稳定性，并开发用于评估管道中流动的泥浆流体的热流体现象的数值代码。对泥浆氮气在固体分数0~40 wt%、平均流速1~6 m/s范围内进行实验测试，获得了强制对流换热系数和流动摩擦压降。在水平铜管中。与过冷液氮的实验结果相比，本研究发现并清除了因压降降低而引起的泥浆氮传热系数恶化的现象。这是将雪泥流体作为制冷剂应用于超导设备的重要而有用的结果。基于二流体模型，建立了包括重力效应的三维数值模拟方法，以阐明低温两相雪泥的特性。流体在直管内流动。结果发现，计算结果与新的PIV（粒子图像测速）方法测量的固体颗粒速度分布吻合良好。因此，所开发的数字代码已被验证能够以足够的精度计算泥浆流动特性。
