摘要
In order to investigate the thermo-hydraulic characteristics of working fluids in the coolant channel of nuclear thermal propulsion reactors, the flow and heat transfer performance of high temperature and high velocity hydrogen in the circle tube was studied by the numerical calculation method. Comparing with the experimental data, it is found that the pressure-based coupled algorithm, SST k-ω turbulence model and hydrogen property model are reasonable and feasible to simulate the flow and heat transfer performance of hydrogen at high temperature and high velocity. The calculated values agree well with the experimental data, and the numerical simulation model is correct. Based on the analysis of flow and temperature field of the base case, the effects of thermal parameters on the flow and heat transfer performance of hydrogen were also studied. The increasing inlet mass flow rate enhances heat transfer performance and the increasing heat flux weakens it. The methods and results can provide some references and guidance for the study of the flow and heat transfer performance of gaseous fluid under high temperature and high heat flux, and thermal design and simulation of nuclear thermal propulsion reactor. © 2020, Editorial Board of Atomic Energy Science and Technology.
