文摘

To enhance heat transfer efficiency on first wall (FW) of ITER China Helium-Cooled Ceramic Breeder-Test Blanket Module (HCCB-TBM), CFD numerical simulation method is adopted. On the basis of calculating helium gas cooling scheme of FW smooth channel, FW structural temperature gradient, maximum wall temperature, average heat transfer coefficient, and pressure drop of channel are selected as evaluation indexes. Numerical simulation comparison are performed on heat transfer schemes like placing transversal ribs and V-shaped ribs in the flow channel of front wall and the helium gas turbulence intensity and the heat transfer area are improved through optimizing the distance and angle between V-shaped ribs and other parameters to enhance heat transfer. The optimization scheme of helium-cooled FW for HCCB-TBM through the three dimensional numerical simulation is: V-shaped ribs are placed on the inner surface of front wall, the rib cross section is 1 mm × 1 mm, the distance between rib pitches is 10 mm and the rib angle is 60°. Under the same helium cooling condition, compared with the FW smooth channel, the optimized V-shaped rib scheme enhances the average heat transfer efficiency by about 70 % and the FW maximum temperature drops by 349.3 K. The result provides support for further research on FW helium cooling heat transfer enhancement experiment and engineering design optimization for China HCCB-TBM.
