被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.01(Nuclear Science & Technology)Non-premixed combustion of hydrogen jets containing sodium vapor and mist reduces threats to reactor containment integrity in sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFRs) because it gradually consumes hydrogen gas generated mainly by a reaction between sodium and concrete. Previous studies have been limited to experimentally determining ignition thresholds on the jet temperature and the sodium concentration under specific gas concentrations. In this study, ignition experiments on hydrogen jets containing sodium mist were carried out at a specific jet temperature and sodium concentration under various gas concentration conditions (1-15vol% hydrogen and 3-21vol% oxygen). As a result, a stable sodium flame was observed in the jet and then formed a lifted hydrogen flame from a fuel nozzle outlet. An attached hydrogen flame on the outlet was also formed under high hydrogen concentration conditions. These flame structures seemed to be attributed to hydrogen flame propagation, which depends on the hydrogen concentration, jet temperature, and jet velocity. Additionally, the experimental results revealed ignition thresholds on the gas concentration and indicated a flammable region where the hydrogen-sodium jet combustion was more advantageous than an explosive premixed hydrogen combustion. Our study will enable the advancement of safety assessment technology in SRFs.

An effective means is combustion of hydrogen jets containing sodium vapor and mist, but previous studies have been limited to determining ignition thresholds experimentally. The aim of this study was to visualize the ignition process in detail to investigate the ignition mechanism of hydrogen-sodium mixed jets. The ignition experiments of the hydrogen jet containing sodium mist were carried out under a condition of little turbulence. The ignition process was measured with an optical measurement system comprised of a high-speed camera and an image intensifier, and a spatial distribution of luminance was analyzed by image processing. Detail observation revealed that sodium mist particles burned as scattering sparks inside the jet and that hydrogen ignited around the mist particles. Additionally, the experimental results and a simple heat balance calculation indicated that the combustion heat of sodium mist particles could ignite the hydrogen as the heterogeneous ignition source in the fuel temperature range where the mist particle formation was promoted.

日米国際協力CNWGの枠組みの一環として、Sandia National Laboratoriesと原子力機構の共同でSNL T3/T4試験をベンチマーク解析に用いて多次元解析コードAQUA-SFと質点系コードSPHINCSを利用し、ナトリウム燃焼の研究を進めている。本稿ではT3試験を使用し乱流効果や液滴輻射といった多次元効果の影響を明らかにするためにAQUA-SFの感度解析を行った。その結果、乱流効果や液滴輻射およびナトリウム液滴燃焼部の温度上昇がスプレイ燃焼率に大きく影響することが確認された。
