Valve core shapes analysis on flux through control valves in nuclear power plants

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Control valves are widely used to regulate fluid flux in nuclear power plants, and there are more than1500 control valves in the primary circuit of one nuclear power plant. With their help, the flux can beregulated to a specific level of water or steam to guarantee the energy efficiency and safety of the nuclearpower plant. The flux characteristics of the control valve mainly depend on the valve core shape. In orderto analyze the effects of valve core shapes on flux characteristics of control valves, this paper focuses onthe valve core shapes. To begin with, numerical models of different valve core shapes are established, andresults are compared with the ideal flux characteristics curve for the purpose of validation. Meanwhile,the flow fields corresponding to different valve core shapes are investigated. Moreover, relationshipsbetween the valve core opening and the outlet flux under different valve core shapes are carried out. Theflux characteristics curve and equation are proposed to predict the outlet flux under different valve coreopenings. This work can benefit the further rese
