Title:

A MODEL FOR NON EQUILIBRIUM, NON HOMOGENEOUS TWO PHASE CRITICAL FLOW

Summary :

ABSTRACT - CRITICAL TWO PHASE FLOW IS A VERY IMPORTANT PHENOMENA IN NUCLEAR REACTOR TECHNOLOGY FOR THE ANALYSIS OF LOSS OF COOLANT ACCIDENT. SEVERAL RECENT PAPERS, LEE AND SHROCK(1990), DAGAN(1993) AND DOWNAR(1996) , AMONG OTHERS, TREAT THE PHENOMENA USING COMPLEX MODELS WHICH REQUIRE HEURISTIC PARAMETERS SUCH AS RELAXATION CONSTANTS OR INTERFACIAL TRANSFER MODELS. IN THIS PAPER A MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR ONE DIMENSIONAL NON EQUILIBRIUM AND NON HOMOGENEOUS TWO PHASE FLOW IN CONSTANT AREA DUCT IS DEVELOPED. THE MODEL IS CONSTITUTED OF THREE CONSERVATION EQUATIONS TYPE MASS ,MOMENTUM AND ENERGY. TWO IMPORTANT VARIABLES ARE DEFINED IN THE MODEL : EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT IN THE ENERGY EQUATION AND THE IMPULSE FUNCTION IN THE MOMENTUM EQUATION. IN THE ENERGY EQUATION, THE ENTHALPY OF THE LIQUID PHASE IS DETERMINED BY A LINEAR INTERPOLATION FUNCTION BETWEEN THE LIQUID PHASE ENTHALPY AT INLET CONDITION AND THE SATURATED LIQUID ENTHALPY AT LOCAL PRESSURE. THE INTERPOLATION COEFFICIENT IS THE EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT. THE MOMENTUM EQUATION IS EXPRESSED IN TERMS OF THE IMPULSE FUNCTION. IT IS CONSIDERED THAT THERE IS SLIP BETWEEN THE LIQUID AND VAPOR PHASES, THE LIQUID PHASE IS IN METASTABLE STATE AND THE VAPOR PHASE IS IN SATURATED STABLE STATE.THE MODEL IS NOT HEURISTIC IN NATURE AND DOES NOT REQUIRE COMPLEX INTERFACE TRANSFER MODELS. IT IS PROVED NUMERICALLY THAT FOR THE CRITICAL CONDITION THE PARTIAL DERIVATIVE OF TWO PHASE PRESSURE DROP WITH RESPECT TO THE LOCAL PRESSURE OR TO PHASE VELOCITY MUST BE ZERO.THIS CRITERIA IS DEMONSTRATED BY NUMERICAL EXAMPLES. THE EXPERIMENTAL WORK OF FAUSKE(1962) AND JEANDEY(1982) WERE ANALYZED RESULTING IN ESTIMATED NUMERICAL VALUES FOR IMPORTANT PARAMETERS LIKE SLIP RATIO, EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT AND TWO PHASE FRICTIONAL DROP.
