Abstract Scope |
The motion of steam film on the surface of zirconium alloy rod in cooling water was studied by numerical simulation. The influences of the initial temperature of the zirconium alloy rod and the temperature of the cooling water on the motion process of the steam film and the velocity of the quenching front were analyzed. The steam film motion process on the surface of the zirconium alloy rod was analyzed and compared when the cooling water was 100℃ and the initial temperature of the zirconium alloy rod was 650℃, 800℃ and 880℃ respectively. The results show that with the increase of initial temperature, the speed of quenching front is faster. At temperatures of 100℃, a large number of bubbles form in the cooling water surrounding the rods, but at the lower temperatures, the number of bubbles decreases. |
