    Directional Material Probe for Deposition Layer Studies

    No full text
    A simple new tool for deposition layer studies, a directional material probe, is proposed. The probe, which examines the directionality of deposition layer formation, consists of a flat disk and pin. If deposits have directionality, a shadow of the pin is formed on the deposition layer on the disk. If no shadow appears on the deposition layer, this suggests that the deposition layer was formed isotropically. The probe can be applied to plasma-wall interaction studies in fusion devices and laboratory plasma devices such as linear divertor simulators to reveal the material migration mechanisms in such devices. The directional material probe method has been applied to plasma-wall interaction studies in the Large Helical Device (LHD), and a position-dependent variation in the directionality of deposition layer formation was found.journal articl

    Correlation of surface chemical states with hydrogen isotope retention in divertor tiles of JET with ITER-Like Wall

    No full text
    To understand the fuel retention mechanism correlation of surface chemical states and hydrogen isotope retention behavior determined by XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) and TDS (Thermal desorption spectroscopy), respectively, for JET ITER-Like Wall samples from operational period 2011–2012 were investigated. It was found that the deposition layer was formed on the upper part of the inner vertical divertor area. At the inner plasma strike point region, the original surface materials, W or Mo, were found, indicating to an erosion-dominated region, but deposition of impurities was also found. Higher heat load would induce the formation of metal carbide. At the outer horizontal divertor tile, mixed material layer was formed with iron as an impurity. TDS showed the H and D desorption behavior and the major D desorption temperature for the upper part of the inner vertical tile was located at 370 °C and 530 °C. At the strike point region, the D desorption temperature was clearly shifted toward higher release temperatures, indicating the stabilization of D trapping by higher heat loadPeer reviewe

    Heat Transfer and Critical Heat Flux of Subcooled Water Flow Boiling in a SUS304-Tube With Twisted-Tape Insert

    No full text
    The subcooled boiling heat transfer (HT) and the steady-state critical heat fluxes (CHFs) in a short SUS304-tube with twisted-tape insert are systematically measured for mass velocities (G = 4016 to 13950 kg/m2s), inlet liquid temperatures (Tin = 285.82 to 363.96 K), outlet pressures (Pout = 764.76 to 889.02 kPa) and exponentially increasing heat input (Q = Q0 exp(t/τ), τ = 8.5 s) by the experimental water loop comprised of a multistage canned-type circulation pump controlled by an inverter. The SUS304 test tube of inner diameter (d = 6 mm), heated length (L = 59.5 mm), effective length (Leff = 49.1 mm), L/d (= 9.92), Leff/d (= 8.18) and wall thickness (δ = 0.5 mm) with average surface roughness (Ra = 3.89 μm) is used in this work. The SUS304 twisted tape with twist ratios, y [= H/d = (pitch of 180° rotation)/d], of 2.39, 3.39 and 4.45 are used. The relations between inner surface temperatures and heat fluxes for the SUS304-tubes with various twisted-tape inserts are clarified from non-boiling to CHF. The subcooled boiling heat transfers for SUS304-tubes with various twisted-tape inserts are compared with our empty SUS304-tube data and the values calculated by our and other workers’ correlations for the subcooled boiling heat transfer. The influences of the twisted-tape insert, the twist ratio and the swirl velocity on the subcooled boiling heat transfer and the CHFs are investigated into details and the widely and precisely predictable correlations of the subcooled boiling heat transfer and the CHFs for turbulent flow of water in the SUS304-tubes with twisted-tape inserts are given based on the experimental data. The correlations can describe the subcooled boiling heat transfer coefficients and the CHFs obtained in this work within −25 to +15% difference.</jats:p

    The subcooled boiling heat transfer and the steady state critical heat fluxes (CHFs) in a short SUS304-tube with twisted-tape insert are systematically measured for mass velocities (G=4016–13,950 kg/m2 s), inlet liquid temperatures (Tin=285.8–364.0 K), outlet pressures (Pout=764.8–889.0 kPa), and exponentially increasing heat input (Q=Q0 exp(t/τ) and τ=8.5 s) by the experimental water loop comprised of a multistage canned-type circulation pump controlled by an inverter. The SUS304 test tube of inner diameter (d=6 mm), heated length (L=59.5 mm), effective length (Leff=49.1 mm), L/d(=9.92), Leff/d(=8.18), and wall thickness (δ=0.5 mm) with average surface roughness (Ra=3.89 μm) is used in this work. The SUS304 twisted-tape with twist ratios y[=H/d=(pitch of 180 deg rotation)/d] of 2.39, 3.39, and 4.45 are used. The relations between inner surface temperatures and heat fluxes for the SUS304-tubes with various twisted-tape inserts are explored for different flow regimes ranging from single-phase flows to CHF. The subcooled boiling heat transfers for SUS304-tubes with various twisted-tape inserts are compared with authors’ empty SUS304-tube data and the values calculated by authors’ and other workers’ correlations for the subcooled boiling heat transfer. The influences of the twisted-tape insert, the twist ratio, and the swirl velocity on the subcooled boiling heat transfer and the CHFs are investigated into details, and the correlations of the subcooled boiling heat transfer and the CHFs for turbulent flow of water in the SUS304-tubes with twisted-tape inserts are given based on the experimental data. The precision or accuracy of a more widely set of correlations in predicting the present set of data is evaluated. The correlations can describe the subcooled boiling heat transfer coefficients and the CHFs obtained in this work from −25% to +15% difference.</jats:p

    Abstract The subcooled boiling heat transfer and the steady-state critical heat fluxes (CHFs) in a short SUS304-tube with twisted-tape insert are systematically measured for mass velocities (G=4016–13,850 kg/m2 s), inlet liquid temperatures (Tin=285.82–363.96 K), outlet pressures (Pout=764.76–889.02 kPa), and exponentially increasing heat input (Q=Q0 exp(t/τ), τ=8.5 s) by the experimental water loop comprised of a multistage canned-type circulation pump controlled by an inverter. The SUS304 test tube of inner diameter (d=6 mm), heated length (L=59.5 mm), effective length (Leff=49.1 mm), L/d(=9.92), Leff/d(=8.18), and wall thickness (δ=0.5 mm) with average surface roughness (Ra=3.18 μm) is used in this work. The SUS304 twisted tape with twist ratio, y(=H/d=(pitch of 180 deg rotation)/d), of 3.39 is used. The relation between inner surface temperature and heat flux for the SUS304-tube with the twisted-tape insert are clarified from nonboiling to CHF. The subcooled boiling heat transfer for SUS304-tube with the twisted-tape insert is compared with our empty SUS304-tube data and the values calculated by our and other workers’ correlations for the subcooled boiling heat transfer. The influences of the twisted-tape insert and the swirl velocity on the subcooled boiling heat transfer and the CHFs are investigated into details and the widely and precisely predictable correlations of the subcooled boiling heat transfer and the CHFs for turbulent flow of water in the SUS304-tube with twisted-tape insert are given based on the experimental data. The correlations can describe the subcooled boiling heat transfer coefficients and the CHFs obtained in this work within −25 to +15% difference.</jats:p
