i Executive Summary ne Westinghouse Electric Corporation has designed an advanced pressurized light water reactor, AP600. This reactor is designed with a passive cooling system to remove sensible and decay heat from the contamment. De heat removal path involves condensation heat transfer, aided by natural convective forces generated by buoyancy effects. A one-twelfth scale slice of the proposed upper region of the reactor containment has been constructed at the University of Wisconsin to simulate conditions anticipated from transients and accidents that may occur in a full scale contamment vessel under a variety of conditions. Similitude of the test facility was obtained by considering the appropriate dimensionless group for the natural convective process (modified Froude number) and the aspect ratio (H/R) of the contamment vessel. De support suucture was constructed of steel and aluminum with a front and back face of clear polycarbonate plates to allow visualization of the developed flow pattems in the cavity. De test section incorporates the ability to vary the flow rate of pressurized steam through a steam injection port located at the bottom of the facility over a wide range of conditions, allowing appropriate quasi-steady state conditions to develop at atmospheric pressure. Previous investigations have been conducted to measme the heat transfer coefficients of a condensing surface in the presence of non-condensable gases, however they primarily consist of small cavities with one fixed orientation of the cooled condensing surface. He present test facility has been designed with a horizontal and a vertical condensing surface made of two 3.81cm thick aluminum 2024 plates positioned in the comer of a (152.4 cm x 228.6 cm x 30.48 cm ) rectangular cavity. The aluminum condensing surface was coated with a 0.0095cm thick layer of inorganic zinc paint similar to the actual AP600 surface treatment. His promoted filmwise condensation l and simulated the actual containment vessel surface wetting conditon. l

i An experimental investigation to determine the heat transfer coefficient associated with the condensing surfaces, along with axial temperature pmfiles of the test section at several different inlet steam mass flow rates and test section temperatures was conducted. In this series of experiments the air mass fraction varied between (0.9 - 0.4) with corresponding mixture temperatures of 60-90 *C. The heat 2 transfer coefficient associated with the top horizontal surface varied fmm (82 - 296) W/m K and the 8 venical side plate heat transfer coefficient varied from (70 - 268) W/m K. 'Ihe heat transfer coefficients were found and compared using two independent methods, an energy balance on the coolant used to cool the condensing plates and a differential temperature measurement at various locations in the aluminum plate. The heat transfer coefficients for various test section temperatures were measured with the two different methods of measurement (Type E thermocouples were used in both measurements and the millivolt readings were collected by a Keithley 500 Data Acquisition System). Several tests were conducted to ensure reproducibility of the facility. Results were found to yield values of the heat transfer coefficients to within a few percent of any given test, at each of the various conditions. The results were then compared to previously published studies of smaller scale similar configurations and were found to be consistent with past reported results [1]. The repon discusses this data in some detail along with the effect of various steam inlet flow pattems and gas compositions. This facility differs from previous studies in that it has a similar aspect ratio to the AP6')0. In past tests this was not the case and some of the imponant aspects of heat transfer phenomena may have been overlooked. Among these effects is the possible enhancement of the overall heat transfer rate due to mixed convection effects as the length scale increases. The design of the facility allows possible visual observation of gas mixture flow patters as well as velocities. One major draw back to the present facility is the inability to acquire data at higher pressures (2-4 bar absolute). A similar test section design has been proposed to handle these higher pressures. s

l i I l i Chapter 1  ; 1 a 3 I Introduction l 1 l A primary concem involved in the safety of nuclear power generation is the prevt.ntion or mitigation of an accider.t occurring in which radioactive by-products may be released into the ( l

atmosphere. To mitigate such an accident it is necessary to provide a containment system sufficient to 2

contain these materials , under several accidental scenarios. One such event is a primary system pipe break, in which a large amount of primary system water discharges and flashes into steam. This will cause an increase in pressure and temperature in the containment atmosphere. This increase in the l 4 j pressure and temperature must be controlled by some mechanism before the containment structural I integrity is compromised. The mechanisms which are currently in use for operating light water reactors rely principally on active safety systems to spray cold water into the coatainment to condense this steam. These active systems require the use of AC power to drive the injection pumps, which must be supplied 2 by either backup diesel generators or off-site power. This not only adds further cost to the plant construction but also more mechanical components whose reliability must be considered in the event of an accident. New advanced reactor designs have included the use of passive cooling techniques which seek to take advantage of the natural circulation processes within containment climinating costly

2 i mechanical components and adding improved reliabihty. The Westinghouse Electric Corporation has designed a 600 MWe pressurized light water reactor (AP600) that utilizes these concepts integrated into i ^ the passive safety systems. The AP600 utilizes a passive containment cooling system (PCCS) to transfer sensible and core decay heat from within the reactor contamment to the atmosphere in the case of an accident vdthout compromising the containment vesset lhe PCCS incorporates large water reservoirs situated above the containment vessel that are opened and allowed to flow by gravity over the contamment shell, assisting natural circulation in removing heat primarily during the imtial hours of an accident when the core decay i heat is high. Figure 1.1 shows the layout of the AP600's proposed design. A water film is developed from the flow of water over the outer surface of the steel containment which provides evaporative cooling i 2 thus increasing the heat transfer coefficient on the oc. side of containment. As a result of the cooled steel i j containment shell, the steam inside the containment condenses on tile inner contamment wall, which can increase the heat removal ability to the containment structure. The energy transfern:d and steam condensed on the inside of the contamment is controlled by the presence of noncondensable gases in the containment volume, which forms a barrier that the steam must diffuse through before condensing. It is the combination of these heat transfer coefficients which determine the overall heat removal rate; each 4 being a significant heat transfer resistance. It is vital to have good estimates of the heat removal rate i associated with the evaporation of the water film on the outside of the containment and the energy i transferred by condensation of the steam in the presence of noncondensable gases [1] on the inside of containment, to ensure that the reactor contamment will be able to remove the necessary energy required to keep the contamment intact, during the various stages of an accident A series of experiments investigating the condensation of steam in the presence of noncondensable gas was conducted to model such accident scenarios and to measure the resulting heat transfer coefficient from steam condensation on the inner wall of containment. Several tests were i 4 I

He effect of the noncondensable gas barrier may also be related to the position and the location of the injected steam therefore, tests varying the location of steam injecticas were conducted. In an effort to understand the heat transfer coefficients found during the experiments it is necessary to obtain data on the natural circulation velocity field developed in the test section, so methods are being developed to meastue and quantify the associated velocities near the condensing walls. Some prelimmary data is provided in this area. 1.1 Air / Steam Exoeriments To investigate the condensation of steam in the presence of the noncondensible gas we explored l f the effects of the heat transfer coefficient on a horizontal and a vertical cooled wallin an environment of l varying concentrations of air and steam. De tests were conducted at atmospheric pressure and various temperatures of saturated steam. These scoping tests provide the heat transfer coefficients under a range of conditions where a break in a pipe would cause an influx of steam to rise and condense on the cooled steel containment structure. De experimental observations were then compared with previous experiments of the same nature [1,2,3] and used as a reference to cornpart tests with varying light gas concentrations and more prototypic geometries, 1.2 Helium / Air / Steam Exneriments In the event that primary system cooling water is lost and temperatures in the reactor core rise to l I levels high enough for water to start reacting with the fuel cladding of zircaloy metal, hydrogen gas may be produced.

8 2_.1 Recent work l 1 11.1 Seoarate Effects Studies Since the extensive review by fluhtiniemi there has been some new and relevant work done in l the area of condensation heat transfer. A summary of some of the separate effects results is given in Table 2.2. De following summary of previous investigations into condensation heat transfer was adapted form Pemsteiner Ref. [3], with the addition of a short description of his work. Lu and Suryanarayana (14] investigated vapor flow inside a horizontal rectangular duct. The vapors used in the study were R-113 and its proposed replacement FC-72*. The heat transfer coefficient was found to increase with inctuasing inlet vapor velocity, and an enhancement of the heat transfer coefficient was observed upon the appearance ofinterfacial waves. These effects have been observed before, and were verified here for the CFC R-113 and its replacement. De results were correlated by two separate l l l equations for the wave free regime, and another for the wavy regime. 1 Fox et. al. [15] studied steam-helium and steam air mixtures inside a reflux condenser tube. It was found l that transport phenomena were greatly affected by the stability of the component combinations used in l the condenser. In general, stable flow pattems were observed when helium gas, with a molecular weight less than that of vapor, was used in the condenser, and unstable flow pattems developed for the cases I when a noncondensable gas heavier than the vapor was implemented. Stable conditions were observed for both noncondensable gas loadings at high vapor mass fractions (0.95). It was found that certain unstable conditions exist which result in oscillatory recirculation regions which exhibit small temporal l fluctuations, ne results indicate that simple models which assume a stable gas / temperature front are not valid when using noncondensables with a molecular weight greater than the condensing vapor. l Siddique et. al (16] measured the local condensation heat transfer coefficient of steam, in the presence of air,in a vertical tube, with a downward flow. He experiment was developed to model condensation heat transfer inside the isolation condenser, a component of the General Electric SBWR passive cooling

10 system. The inlet air mass fraction ranged from 0.10 to 0.35, with mixture inlet temperatures of 100,120 and 140*C. The local Nusselt number increased with the mixture Reynolds number and decreased with increased noncondensable mass fraction. A model was developed to predict local heat transfer coefficients on the inside of the tubes, for the range of condition studied m the test series. Kang and Kim [17] investigated the effect of noncondensable gas and a wavy water film on condensation heat transfer A water film was injected into a 1.52 m long rectangular channel, at steady state thennal conditions, to produce a wavy film condition. Data was collected for varying air mass fractions (0-0.78), mixture velocities (1-7 m/s), and film flow rates. Even small amounts of noncondensable gas were seen to greatly affect condensation heat transfer rates. The waviness of the condensate film also increased the heat transfer as listed previously. Pernsteiner [3] investigated a series of forced flow tests with a horizontal, downward facing condensing plate coated with inorganic zine paint. The tests were conducted with variable mass fractions varying from 0.65-0.78, velocities ranging from 1.0 to 2.1 m/s and helium concentrations between 0 and 39 percent of the total noncondensible content. A second series ofinvestigations was conducted to study the effects of natural convection. These tests were conducted with the condensing plate in a vertical position. The mass fraction of noncondensables was varied from 0.33 to 0.92 with helium molar fractions ranging from 0 to 30 percent. It was found that the previously reported inhibiting effects of the light noncondensable gas (helium) was not observed except when helium concentrations became greater than 307c. Figure 2.1 is a diagram of the experimental facility used. 2.1.2 Inteoral Exneriments Separate effects tests provide increasing knowledge of the processes of condensation heat transfer, however they may not always be scaled to larger facilities. This leads to the importance oflarge scale tests to investigate effects not seen by the separate effects studies,ie mixed convection, gas

12 concentrations, temperatures, Cow fields, and system pressure that would occur in contamment during an accident. Westinghouse has carried out several large scale tests involving an extemally cooled containment stmeture similar to that pmposed for the AP600. The testing of an 1/8th scale facility allows measurements oflocal heat fluxes and heat transfer rates at both the inside and outside of containment. Rey have studied the effects of steam injection location and noncondensable mixturt mole fractions on the total heat transfer along with several other investigations. A second series oflarge scale integral tests is being performed at the Paul Scherrer Institute, which is very similar to the work being done by Westinghouse, except for the SBWR . They have constructed a 1/10 linear scale SBWR at full height to provide experiments to General Electric on the performance characteristics of their new simplified boiling water reactor and its passive contatnment system. 2.2.fustification for Current Study Be major motivation behind the cuntnt experiments is to find representative values for the condensation heat transfer coefficient under a wide variety of conditions from a facility similar to the Westinghouse AP600. Westinghouse has employed a combination of separate effects experiments along with integral experiments to try to document the effects of the heat and mass transfer phenomena. He University of Wisconsin has shared in this effort by conducting several separate effects tests over the I years. Barry, Kim, Huhtiniemi, and Pemsteiner have investigated the heat transfer rate on metal surfaces with similar finishes as the AP600 contatnment (see Appendix 5 for bibliography). Rey have investigated several different parameters that effect this heat transfer (ie. temperature, mass ratio, gas 1 composition, pressure, and cold wall orientation). One of the major limitations to the previous studies conducted is the representation of only a small ponion of the cooled containment wall. This limitation was necessary to evaluate some of the previously mentioned parameters, howeverit may have also l

l 13 caused them to overlook important aspects of the heat transfer phenomena. One major aspect is the enhancement of the heat transfer due to mixed convection effects. 'Ihis was first noted by Huhtiniemi in his experimental results [2]. The present invesdgation is an effort to gain additional understandmg of the heat and mass transfer phenomena in this mixed convection regime. 'Iherefore, the experimental facility was constructed with a similar aspect rado to that of the AP600 containment. The design of the facility is such that velocity fields, which are imperative to the understanding of the heat and mass transfer can be . observed through clear polycarbonate sheets on the front and back of the test section and measured at particularlocations. l l \

14 1 l Chapter 3 Experimental Scaling Considerations 1 3.1 Governing Dimensionless Grouos The experiments were designed to represent a two-dimensional slice of the upper dome of the l AP600 contamment; i.e., from the radial center to the wall of the relatively open region above the operating deck in the containment. This representation assumes that any flow pattems are axisymmetric l along the center of containment. In addition, the size of the experiment is small enough (1:12 linear l scale) that we must consider how the goveming dimensionless groups are affected by these geometric j distortions. In the past, our method ofinvestigation of the condensation heat transfer upon the cooled , l surfaces similar to the AP600 walls indicated that for a large number of conditions a mixed convection I regime may be present in the containment for low forced convective velocities; i.e., less than 1-3 m/s. Based on this analysis it seems that the most appropriate dimensionless group to preserve in our experiments is a modified Froude Number given by the expression: 1 Pr= pv lapgL m where p is the density of the gas mixture, Ap is the difference in density between the bulk gas and the gas mixture near the interface with the cold wall, v is the bulk gas velocity, g is the gravitational acceleration

4 I 15 l l l )i and L is the characteristic length. For our analysis we have assumed that the gas velocity can be , l t represented by the steam velocity enteting the upperdome containment from a compartment below the- ( 1 operating deck up to the top of containment. This dimensionless group is felt to be the most important I i because it is the ratio of the natural convection forces to the forced convection inertial forces in the

I J volume.

To give an illustration of the quantitative magnitude of this grouping consider an accident sequence in the AP600 where due to some pipe rupture and initial blowdown, a quasi-steady state is established in which steam is injected into contamment at a rate which matches the condensation on the i i cold walls at a particular pressure. This is mmtinr to the situation developed in the 1/8th scale containment experiments conducted at Westinghouse. Let us assume that the characteristic velocity for steam injection is I meter /sec, which corresponds to the mass flow of steam generated from core decay i heat and entering the containment through an area similar to the steam generator compartments. For a l

containment pressure of 3 bar, with saturated steam present, the Fmude numberis about 0.0043. If we e

assume the same velocity the mmunum Froude number is about 0.055 for our experimental apparatus. This value is higher in direct proportion to the smaller length scale of our facility. However, this ) distortion can be reduced by decreasmg the input flow velocity while holding all other parameters ) i I constant. His reduction must be realistically balanced by the quasi-steady conditions attainable within

the apparatus. Although this is a distortion in the dimensionless group, it is of similar magnitude.

l 12 Modeline Annivsis In an effort to compare the experimental results to boundary layer heat and mass transfer theory we took an approach similar to Westinghouse [11] which we found to be appropriate for heat transfer modeling. He scale on the experimental facility is such that the heat and mass transfer may be govemed

-                                                                                                        16 by tuIbulent free convection. Therefore, the use of McAdams correlation for free convection would approximate the heat transfer from the test section atmosphem to the cooled walls by:

4 Nu = 0.13Gr /3 Pr 1/3 (2) To obtain a similar correlation for the mass transfer which accounts for the majority of the total heat

transfer the McAdams correlation was used with the momentum, heat and mass transfer analogy, thus the Nusselt Number is replaced with the Sherwood Number and the Prandit Number with the Schunidt 4

Number. 4 Sh = 0.13Gr 1/3Sc 1/3 (3) - The above correlations which were developed from similarity arguments are dimensionless and independent of the length scale. The above correlations were arrived at using the Grashoff Number based on thermal expansion rather than the Grashoff Number based on the total density difference. In our 2 case, the density is a function of both the temperature difference and the steam concentration which would result in an increase of the driving force for heat transfer. Because of this increased density 4 difference, it is more appropriate to use the Grashoff Number based on the total density difference, rather than just the thennal differences. The mixture properties of the bulk were used along with the properties at the wall in both the calculation of the convection heat transfer coefficient and the condensation heat transfer coefficient. The convection heat transfer coefficient can be determined directly by the definition of the Nusselt Number: NU= (4)

17 It is first necessary to calculate the mass transfer coefficient (to obtain the condensation heat transfer coefficient from the Sherwood Number. The Sherwood Number is defined as:

                                                     "                                                              l (5)

Sh = "Do l l .i i where D, is the diffusion coefficient, and 4 si the mass transfer coefficient. An approximation of the diffusion coefficient of steam in air was calculated from the following equation recommended by Rohsenow et.al (Ref 10). Do = 0.0069 M, +Ms1 (6) P(V1*+Vl")2 Where T is in Ranbne, V, and V, are atomic volumes given in table 14.1 of reference 5, and P is in - atmosphere. The mass flow rate can then be calculated by the following equation: b = Km(Cg - Cw) (7) where c, and c, are the local vapor concentrations of the bulk gas and the wall respectively. The condensation heat transfer coefficient is then found by substituting the previous equation into the expression: b6 v. bulk-it.wa) gcand_~ (8) Tsuix-Twa

  'Ihe total heat tmnsfer from the bulk to the wallis the sum of the contributions from the convection heat transfer and the condensation heat transfer (h, = h_, + ha). The above mass transfer correlation was

18 l l developed considering tangential flow across a plate neglecting normal flow. In our situadon there is an l I additive effect due to the normal component of the velocity. His will result in an increase in the heat I transfer coefficient due to condensation. To take into account these effects Bird et.al. [4] suggests the addition of a correction factor to the mass transfer correlation. . Sh = 0.13Gr SSc14 0 (9) where 0 is a correction factor for the effect of mass transfer on the transfer coefficients : 0 = '"## g (10) R = "1-xo (11) and varies between 1.5 and I for the conditions of our tests. Chapter 5 and 6 of the report indicate that the above correlations produce good agreement with the uniform injection experiments. l I

Air or air / helium mixtures are initially in the test section at atmospheric pressure, then steam 1 supplied by a Sussman model ES-7L boiler is added through a steam injection configuration at l

the bottom of the test section. The 72kW boiler which is able to produce 0.027kg/see of steam is 4

equipped with a Mercoid Da 531 Bourdon tube pressure switch, which has a dead band of 3 psi so that the boiler pressure fluctuations are minimized resulting in a minimal variation of the p l steam temperature. Energy is removed by horizontal and vertical oriented condensing plates located in the right hand comer of the test section. The aluminum condensing plate was held at i a temperature of approximately 30*C by cooling plates located on the back side. Coolant water, supplied by a Neslab HX-150 constant temperature water bath able to provide 4500W of cooling power at 20*C, passes through a series of Dwyer RMC-141 flow meters into the cooling plates. The steam flow rate from the boiler was then controlled by a needle valve until a steady state

20 temperature of 60,70,80,85, or 90 *C was achieved. Figure 4.1 is a schematic of the essential components of the experiment. f.2 Test Facility Figure 4.2 is a schematic diagram of the test facility. It consists of a front and back sheet of 1/2" thick polycarbonate (Lexan*). He sides, top, and bottom are also made of Lexan with the exception of the aluminum condensing plates. The bottom and left side are endrely Lexan while the top and nght side house the aluminum condensing plates. The condensing plates are attached to the Lexan sheet with a butt joint and a 1" x 2" phenolic coupling piece used to seal the joint. The two condensing plates are also connected in the comer with a 2" x 2" phenolic coupling joint. Nylon screws were used to connect the phenolic pieces to both the condensmg plates and the Lexan. His was done to reduce any changes in the properties of the materials. De aluminum condensing plates were 12" wide as compared to 12.5" wide Lexan sides so that a thermalinsulator could be placed between the plates and the carbon J steel frame which held the structure together. A 1/8" rubber gasket and a 3/16" thick piece of G-10 phenolic were used to seal and insulate the condensing plate from the frame. The Lexan sheets were then l pinned into place with 3/16" x 3/4" dowel pins that went through the steel frame and into the cross section of the Lexan. 5/16" x 1" dowel pins were used to hold the condensing plates in position. These

                                                                                                                     -I pins went through the steel support structure through the phenolic insulation and into a nylon insert placed in the condensing plate (Figure 4.3). This construction insured that the condensing plates were l

l thermally isolated from any significant mode of conduction heat transfer to the rest of the test section. I I De sides were then sealed with silicon sealant on both the inside and outside of the test section. De front and back faces were sealed to the steel frame with silicone sealant, and a second frame made of 1/4" thick 2" aluminium angle was placed over the front and back surfaces. He whole test section was i sandwiched together with a series of 3/8" threaded rod positioned 6" apart around the perimeter of the ] l

Two 7.5" diameter access holes were placed in each side of the test section with the center of the hole located 6" above the bottom plate to provide mountings for the steam injection system. Aluminum flanges were constructed to house the steam injection system and seal the access holes Figum 4.4. He entire test section was supponed by a Unistrut support structure and insulated with 2" thick R-12 polystyrene foam insulation, so that the only fann of energy removal was fmm the condensing surface. 43 Condensine Plates The two condensing plates consisted of 2024 aluminum plates with dimensions 3'x1'x1.5", ne 4 i test plates thennophysical properties, needed in the calculation of the heat transfer coefficient, were measured by Purdue University Demophysical Properties Research Laboratory (TPRL) and a summary of there findings are given in Appendix 1.The plates were sand-blasted then coated with a 3.75 +/- 0.25 mils thick coat of inorganic zinc paint as measured by a KTA-Tator, Inc Posi-tector 3000 dry film detector. His self curing, inorganic zine primer contains 85% zine when dry and has a therma! conductivity of 0.0209 w/cm K. Westinghouse uses the primer to protect the inner and outer surface of l the contamment facility. It was demonstrated to have good film wetting characteristics at several angles l i and to prevent corrosion to the vessels [1]. Each condensing plate was fitted with six coolant plates so that coolant flow through each plate could be controlled and monitored separately by the flow meters. A schematic of the cooling plate is shown in Figure 4.5. The 6" x 12" x 1.5" cooling plates were bolted onto the condensing plates with four 1/2 -13 x 2.5" allen head cap screws. It was found that the use of the carbon steel bolts imbedded in the aluminum would not effect the measurements more than one i

percent. Bree sets of holes were drilled through each coolant plate and into the condensing plate to allow for the insertion of heat flux probes. 'Ihis was done to study any fluctuations of the heat transfer coefficient on positions varying from the center of the test section.

27 3.4 Steam Infection System The first of the two steam injection systems was a uniform distribution of steam. It was constmeted of 1"IPS aluminum pipe and is shown in Figures 4.6. A blow up of the injection nozzels is given Figure 4.7. Nineteen evenly spaced Swadgelock fittings, with a mimmum opening of 3/16 inch, were used as the injection nozzles for the steam. A small hole was also drilled in the bottom of the pipe to allow any condensed liquid to flow out of the tube. Steam was supplied on both ends of the pipe to create a unifonn injection from each nozzle. De second steam injection system was designed to act as if there were a ruptute in a steam generator pipe Figure 4.8. The size and position of the injection was determined by calculating a 1:12 ratio of the actual steam generator. De steam flow rate was scaled by the ratio of the volumes of the actual contamment to the test facility. In this arrangement steam enters through one side and passes through a 1" pipe which has 90* turn at a distance of 2$ 7/8" from the left side and then a 8" high vertical inlet section. , i 43 Mensurement Technlaues Two separate methods of determination of the heat transfer coefficients were used. De first was a local heat flux measurement using thermocouple heat flux meters (HTFM) and the second was an area averaged heat transfer coefficient that was determined from a coolant energy balance (CEB). The heat flux meters are shown in Figure 4.9. Rey consist of a set of four E-type thermocouples incased in a 3/16" O.D. stainless steel tube (E-type thermocouple grade wire was chosen because both elements have a low thermal conductivity, good resistance to corrosion and a high Seebeck coefficient) . Four 0.039" precision holes were drilled in the side of the stainless steel sheath. Thermocouples with a bead of no more than 0.025" were inserted into the hole and a silicon sealant was injected into the end of the tube to hold the thermocouples in place. Each probe was then independently measured and the location of the

I 31 junctions recorded with an error ofless than 0.01". The thermocouples were then tested for accuracy at the National Standards Laboratory. This was done by placing the pmbes in a bath of mineral oil and measuring the temperature with a platinum thermometer while the millivolts produced by the junctions } were recorded on a digital volt meter. These measurements were then compared to the IPTS-68 standards. l 1 To determine the heat flux the HTFM's were set in holes drilled through the cooling plates into the aluminum condensing plate. An equation of a line defining the temperature distribution of the plate i was found from the temperature measurements and positions of the thermocouples . The slope of this i line is the temperature gradien'.in the aluminum plate and the y-intercept is the back plate temperature. Then using the following analysis we could determine the heat transfer coefficient at the location of the probe. g d*r (8) h = Tar-Tsus j Assuming a linear temperature dependance the temperature of the plate is given by the equation l Tatum(X) = j;"'X + Teacu (9) i  ! A similar equation govems the temperature in the zine coating layer. We included the existence of the l l 1 coating, however we neglect any contact resistance between the aluminum and the zine coating. With knowledge of the slope and intercept of a line through the aluminum plate we could calculate the surface temperature and with the corresponding measured mixture temperature we could calculate the heat transfer coefficient. The slope and intercept of the temperature distribution in the plate was found using a i linear least squares fit to the recorded probe temperatures [12,13]. The specified errorin the l thermocouples reported by the manufacture (Omega Engineering) was +/- 1.0'C. This is the error in the

1 i 32 thermocouples absolute temperature reading, however we were concemed not with the absolute temps.rature but the difference in temperatures of the four thermocouples. If all four thennoccuples are calibrated so that they read the same temperatures at zem heat flux then the resolution or a statistical < standard deviation of the sampling of a ensomble of measurements can be used as the enor in the linear least squares determination of the line. This was done by the program htf6.exe which is given in i Appendix 2. The second method of determination of the heat transfer coefficient was a coolant energy balance. Temperature controlled water was passed through a flow meter and then through the coolant channels in the coolant plates. 'Ihe temperature of the water was measured with an E-type thermocouple at the inlet of the coolant plate and subsequently at the exit of the coolant plate. An energy balance on the liquid would yield the energy removed from the condensing plate and thus the heat transfer coef5cient associated with the area under the coolant plate. 4 is pecoloo ( AT) Qi = p, (10) oi) h = Tmx-Tawr 4 This method of determination of the heat transfer coefficient is different than the heat flux meter probes in that it is an area averaged heat transfer coefficient. Each coolant plate was used to obtain an average !, heat transfer coefficient where the HTFM's measure the heat transfer coefficient in the vicinity surrounding the probes. An error analysis of the above equations is givenin Appendix 3. 4 51 Secondary measurement devices

1 33 i i j Re test section was also equipped with several temperature probes to measure axial variations in 1 1 the test section fluid temperature. Figure 4.2 shows the locations of the temperature measurements. i Swadglock fittings with a minimum opening of 1/2" were used to allow for easy installation of a variety l

!                       of measurement probes, ne probe holes located in the right hand comer next to the condensing plates 1

j were used as the mixture temperatures in the calculation of the heat transfer coefficient. Dese probes 1 j were located as close to the condensing plates as possible, considering the structuralintegrity of the i j Lexan sheets. These seven temperatures were recorded by the Keithley data acquisition system along i j with the HTFM and CEB temperature measurements. The remainder of the axial probes were connected 4 j to an Omega DP41-TC high performance temperature indicator. A Vaisala series HMP 131Y humidity and temperature tranunitter was used to measure the l l relative humidity in the test section. His probe's measurement of the RH is based on changes in the 4 capacitance of a thin polymer film as it collects water. It has a 90% response time of 15sec in still air at i 1

20*C with an error of +/-2 % RH. It also allows the simultaneous measurement of temperature with a  ;

i 1 i platinum RTD sensor. De Vaisala probe junction box was connected to a Keithley DAS-8 data ) l acquisition board inside a PC computer and the probe inserted in the test section through the same holes as the axial temperature probes so that a distribution of humidity levels could be obtained. l De steam mass flow rate was measured with two different techniques. De first method of l i measurement was an orifice flow meter Figure 4.10. It consisted of an ASME spec, square edge orifice. 2 He area of the orifice opening was 2.7cm2 with a two foot entrance pipe with area 17.719cm . Two l i 3/16" pressure taps were located on either side of the orifice and were connected to a 4025 B Capsuhelic

deferential pressure gage, ne mass flow rate could then be calculated from the equation

After the test section reached i J 4 a steady state temperature the boiler cycles were timed. If the power of the heater is known along with 2 the time the heateris on one can detennine the energy supplied to the steam. If this is known then the 1 mass flow rate of the steam can be determined by the following equation: l Qt (13) II7 = ((cp(Tsar -Tin}+ifg)t t or) i ne pressure gage used to measure the pressure drop across the square edge orifice was used in only a few measurements since the silicon diaphragm was not able to handle the temperature and exposure of the steam for long periods and failed after a few uses. The second method agreed well with the measurements made by the orifice flow meter and was used throughout the experiments as the method of detenmnation of the flow rate. A Hontzsh vane wheel anemometer was used to record preliminary velocity measurements. The 4 voltage proportional signal frequency of the meter is converted into a load independent voltage by a Hontzsch flow transducer powered by a 24 VDC Marter power processor . De voltage output fmm the - transducer is read by a Nicolet 4175 Digital oscilloscope. De zero flow reading of the anemometer is 1 5.003 volts therefore a high precision voltage calibrator was used as a DC offset to increase the resolution N of the oscilloscope. De NIST traceable calibration of the velocity meteris given in Appendix 5. b 4.6 Gas Samotine 1 A gas sampling device was constructed to detennir:e the concentration of different gases that were present in the noncondensables.

Valve four was connected to a purge tank so that a large volume of the gas could be taken into the sampling unit to ensure a uniform mixture. De actual sampling bottle was attached to valve t!ute. The unit was wrapped with a heating tape which was connected to a temperature controller, so that the temperature of the whole sampling system could be raised to the test section conditions. Value five was used to drain any condensed liquid. ne sample was then analyzed with a mass spectrometer. 4.7 Datn Acoultition und Recordinn A Keithley series 500 data acquisition system was used to collect the voltage signals fmm the majority of the temperature measurements. De Type E thermocouple wire AWG-30 with a Teflon coating were connected to one of five Keithley AIM 7 Thermocouple input modules. The AIM 7 module allows the connection of 16 thermocouples to an isothermal block. A cold junction reference sensoris also connected to this isothennal block to allow accurate measure ofits temperature, ne voltage signals are routed to a global system amplifier which amplifies a ADM214 bit A/D convener. He AIM 7 module has a gain of 100 volts / volt and the global system amplifier was set to a gain of 10. This produces an overall amplification of 1000, giving an effective voltage input range of 20 millivolts. Both the sampling rate and the number of samples was controlled and recorded by a personal computer. The sampling of the teenperatures was usually done at a sampling rate of 0.2hz where 30 samples were taken for each thennoccupies. The temperature data was then sent to the data reduction program Htf6.exe I where the temperatures and locations were used to determine the heat flux and the corresponding heat j transfer coefficients.

8 38 l l l l Chapter 5 Air / Steam Experiments 5.1 Summary of Ernerimental Procedure This was the first series of tests conducted in the experimental facility and as a result several tests were performed to ensure that everything functioned properly. The conditions of the outside environment were measured and recorded along with the time cach test was conducted. The boiler was started and filled with distilled water from a large reservoir. Two pumps were used to fill the boiler a

low pressure pump was needed to pump the water supply to a high pressure pump located on the boiler, t

Once the boiler reached its operating pressure of 25psig a throttling needle valve was opened to allow steam to flow into the test section. The coolant water supply was tumed on and the flow meters and l l water temperature were set to maintain the surface temperature of the condensing plate at approximately l 30*C. The Nestab HX-150 Refrigeration unit is rated to provide 4500W of cooling power at 20*C. This l I was found to be sufficient for test section temperatures of 60-80'C, however it was unable to remove ! sufficient energy at 85'C and 90*C to hold the plate temperature at the desired 30'C. 'Iherefore building water was passed through the cooler in order to achieve a steady condensmg plate temperature of 30*C and then'was dumped down a drain. The tests were taken at atmospheric pressure due to the structural limitations of the Lexan sheets to handle higher pressures. To maintain the test section at atmospheric l 1

39 pressure a ball valve located on the bottom of the test section was opened. His valve was connected to a hose which was inserted into a pool of water so that gas could only exit the test section atmosphere. He needle valve was adjusted until the test section temperature reached the desired temperature. After a sufficient time had elapsed (no less than a 1/2 hour) for the test section to reach a quasi-steady state data was collected. De Keithley 500 data acquisition system could only read one AIM 7 temperature module at a time. His consisted of 16 thermocouple measurements. The thermocouple HTFM probes and the two thermocouples used in the measurements of the CEB were setup so each probes four temperature measurements would be measund at the same time. The sampling was usually done at a frequency of 0.2Hz with 30 temperature measurements taken for each thermocouple. Derefore it took 150 seconds to read each card. After each card was run the data had to be dumped to the hard drive of the personal computer. This took about one minute, therefore it took about 15 minutes to collect the complete set of heat transfer data. De data was then transferred to the data reduction program and exammed to see if the plate surface temperature and test section temperatures wcre at the desired values. During each test the axial temperature at each grid location of the test section was measured along with the relative humidity. The boiler mass flow rate was also measured. De pressure differential of the Capsuhelic pressure gage was taken and the boiler cycles timed. De condensed steam in the test section was allowed to eject through the same ball valve that kept the test section at atmospheric pressure. After several tests were completed at a given test section temperature the steam flow rate was increased, his elevated the test section temperature to the next desired temperature and the procedure was repeated. Several tests were taken at temperatures of 60,70,80,85, and 90*C. Table 5.1 shows approximate mass flow rates needed to achieve the desired temperatures. Figures 5. land 5.3 show the consistency in the heat transfer coefficients obtained at 70*C by the HTFM's and Figures 5.2 and 5.4 show the consistency of the CEB measurements. The labeling of the plots corresponds to the position of the HTFM meters as measured in centimeters.

These tests are classiSed as the series 100. To study this the HTFM's were moved from the center hole of the condensing plate 6.25" from the Lexan 1 front sheet to the outer locations 1" from the Lexan sheets. This test was done at 60"C. 512 Results Discuseion Figures 5.5 and 5.6 show the measured heat fluxes at the various positions. The back holes n:fer to the holes funhest from the Lexan face with the probe holes drilled in it. The front and back holes should produce relatively the same heat transfer coefficients due to symmetry arguments. The graph I shows that the heat transfer coefficients measund when the HTFMs were in the center positions straddled the values of the heat transfer coefficients measured in the front and back locations. This suggests that there are no significant noticeable three dimensional effects in the heat transfer coefficient, and the test section can be treated primarily as a two dimensional slice. The data for 60*C produces the worst relative errors due to the fact that the temperature difference through the cross section of the aluminum condensing plate is low. This enhances the error in the difference of the successive temperature measurements and causes larger relative errors than the higher temperatures, yet no presence of three dimensionality seems to exist.

 !3 Air / Steam at Varlons Temneratures (Uniform Inf ection) 511 Descrintion of Test ne next series of tests, designated test series 200, were conducted to test the effects of the heat l

transfer coefficient with an increasing temperature difference between the test section 4tmosphere and the cooling plates. These air / steam tests were conducted with the miiform injection system shown in Figure 4.6. , 5.3.2 Results/ Discussion Table 5.2 shows typical average values for the heat transfer coefficients at various temperatures 1 measured by both the HTFM's and the CEB methods. The average values are given for both the vertical and the horizontal oriented condensing plates. Typical local heat transfer coefficients are given in j l graphical form in Figures 5.8 - 5.16 which have been taken from reference [5). A definite trend in the l heat transfer coefficiems was observed. As we move along the vertical plate from the top of the test i section down, the heat transfer coefficients decreased steadily until reaching coolant plate #10 or #11 ( a distance of approximately 46 cm dov,n from the comer of the test section see figure 5.17). At this point j

                                                                                                              \

there is a slight increase in the heat transfer coefficient which usually continues across the last cooling plate. The behavior of the top (horizontal) plate seems to be more sporadic than that of the vertical side plate. The top plate has a consistently higher heat transfer coefScient than that of the vertical plate. There also seems to be a slightly larger discrepancy between the HTFM's and the CEB measurements in the horizontal plate. This increased heat transfer coefficient and the discrepancy in the two methods of measurement may be a result of droplet formation and the presence of rain from the top surface. Such a rough surface presented to the flow combined with the natural convective flow pattem may cause the difference, although analysis is still under way. The inorganic zine coating promotes filmwise condensation, however as noted by Huhtiniemi at angles ofless than l' and with velocities less than Im/s droplets will form on the surface. Although, the

52 1 J visual observation was obstmeted by condensation on the Lexan side walls of the test section it was observed that there was significant droplet fonnation on the top condensing surface. There also appeared to be a liquid film on the plate accompanying the droplet formation. From visual observation the J dmplets were seen to vary in size fmm approximately 0.2cm to 0.5cm. He vertically inclined plate was observed to have pure filmwise condensation with no droplets present. He presence of the droplets could ! have many effects on the heat transfer coefficient of the horizontal surface. The droplets attached to the J upper surface effectively increase heat transfer surface area which would result in the increased heat f transfer coefficients observed on the top plate. There may also be an increase in the heat transfer due to the enhancement of turbulent mixing caused by the departure of the droplets. The random occurrence of the droplet formation and the rain dmplet departure may have also contributed to the relatively unsteady nature in the heat transfer coefficient observed in the horizontal plate. The vertical plate heat transfer coefficient has very good agreement between the two methods of measurement as can be seen by Figure 5.3 and 5.4. The data presented in figures 5.8 through 5.16 was also cornpated with otherinvestigators of condensation in the presence of noncondensables, specifically Pernsteiner since his studies closely resembled the present work although at a much smaller scale. Pemsteiner investigated condensation on a vertical wall due to natural circulation. Although the test section geometry differs slightly, a relatively close agreement between his results and the current investigations was observed. As can be seen in Table 5.3 the average heat transfer coefficients in the current facility were slightly higher than those observed by Pernsteiner, nis could be attributed to the larger test section geometries, because the present test section was significantly wider, mixed convection heat transfer mechanisms may have lead to the slight i enhancement of the heat transfer coefficient. This effect was one of the primary reasons for the present

                                                                                                                )

Calculations were done  ; with the correlations introduced in Chapter three and the results of the theoretical heat transfer I l

54 coefficients are given in Table 5.4. The horizontal plate heat transfer coefficients appear to be slightly higher than those calculated theoretically. His could be attributed to the raining effect observed on this l surface as discussed previously. De vertical plate hest transfer coefficients, which exhibited pure filmwise condensation, seems to agree well with the theory. 5.4 Air /Stenm at Various Temocrntures (Steam Generator Ruoture) 5.4.1 Descriotion of Test Test series 500 consists of a series of experiments designed to simulate a pipe rupture in the steam generator compartment of the AP600. De injection system was changed from the uniform injection system (Figure 4.6) to the injection system pictured in Figure 4.8. De right side of the steam inlet was plugged off and insulated so that no steam would exit and the test section would again be isolated from the environment. The test procedure was similar to the above mentioned procedure with the exception that preliminary velocity measurements were taken with a Hontzsch turbine anemometer. A 1.25" hole was drilled in the test section 16" from the vertical condensing plate and 2.5" below the horizontal condensing plate (between axial temperature locations 2 and 3) to provide for installation of I the velocity meter. Figure 5.17 indicates the placement of the velocity meter with respect to the steam injection inlet. A 3"long aluminum flange was constructed and attached to the test section so that the Hontzsh velocity meter could be inserted. To allow the direction of flow to be determined a plate with degree measurements was attached to the flange and a pointer positioned on the velocity meter, so that the relative angle of the velocity meter would be known. Velocity measurements were taken at several different angles. Zero degrees corresponded to the turbine vane wheel parallel to the top condensing surface with the flow toward the vertical plate corresponding to the positive direction. The output of the meter was read from a Nicolet Oscilloscope as described in chapter 4. l 5.4.2 Results/ Discussion

i l i 55 De average values for the heat transfer coefficients are presented in Table 5.5. The heat transfer coefficients increased dramatically from those obtained with the uniform injection system especially at i the higher temperatures of 85* C and 90*C. Table 5.6 gives an idea of the mass flow rates needed to

!  achieve a given steady state temperature in this test series. Although sufficient testing or analysis has not been completed the enhancement in the heat transfer coefficient could be a result of the effect of a jet of 1

steam impinging on the upper cooled condensmg surface. In the uniform injection tests the steam would 4 have dispersed more evenly and not created sach a jet effect. The temperature profiles indicate that there l is a plume of hot vaporin the vicinity of the injection, as would be expected Figure 5.18. Table 5.7 i show the velocity measurements as a function of temperature and angle. Although these are preliminary 1, l velocity measurements they indicate that the horizontal flow is too small to be detected by the velocity meter (less than 0.5 ft/sec). Some oscillation was observed at angles of approximately 60* and 120*. ] i his could be due to the inertia required to spin the turbine vane wheel. If the flow velocityis not fast enough there is not sufficient energy to overcome this inertia and the vane wheel may oscillate back and j fonh rather than spin in one direction, thus causing fluctuating voltage readings. When the velocity meter was rotated 90* so that the vane wheel was parallel to the vertical surface an upward velocity was seen to appear at 80*C, although it was only slightly above the velocity needed to overcome the inertia of the wheel, ne velocity was observed to increase as the steady state temperature of the test section and correspondingly the mass flow rate was increased. This indicates that there may be some jet  ! . i

!   impingement on the upper condensing plate due to the modified steam injection system. These velocity measurements were mainly done to test the use of the meter and measurement techniques. Many more

60 l Chapter 6 Air / Helium / Steam Experiments 6.1Summnry Descrintion of Ernerimental Procedure The pmcedure used in the series 300 experiments (air / helium / steam) was the same as that mentioned in chapter five with the air / steam experiments except that helium was added in various molar l l concentrations. The facility depicted in Figure 4.1 was modified slightly to allow the injection of a l l helium air mixture. Figure 6.1 is a schematic of the experimental apparatus containing the additional features. Building air and industrial quality helium (99.9% pure) was passed through two separate Dwyer RMC series air flow meters into a tee section, where the gases mixed prior to entering the test section. The flow meters were factory calibrated for air, themfore a correction factor for the diffemnt mass of helium was used: i Q2=O1 sg , where Q2 is the actual flow corrected for the specific gravity, Qi is the observed flowmeter reading and ( l s.g is the specific gravity of helium. The flow rates of the meters were adjusted so a particular molar percent of helium in air was entering the test section. A sufficient volume of the gas mixture was allowed to flow through the test section so that a uniform concentration existed. Gas samples were taken after the mixing tee and in the midsection of the test facility to ensure that the there was an even distribution of ! 1 1 1 I

Prior to taking a gas sample tne gas sampling apparatus (discussed in chapter i 4) was evacuated to a pressure of no more than 2 torr. He purge tank was filled with test section gas and 1 a sample was taken. De two gas concentration measurement techniques (volume flow rate and mass i spectrometer analyzed gas sample) yielded similar results that were within the ermr of the volume flow 4 meters. He volume flow meters had the drawback that they were only able to measure the initial gas 1 concentration therefore the gas sampling technique was needed to allow the sampling of the test section l ^ gas laterin the test. After a molar percent of approximately 4,8,16 or 30 was achieved (as measured by the mass spec.) the boiler was turned on and steam allowed to enter through the throttling needle valve until one of the steady state temperatures was reached. Gas samples were taken at each of the separate i steady-state temperatures so that the noncondensible gas mixture would be known. I His procedure produces slightly different results than what would occur in an actual accident scenario. The steam entering the contamment atmosphere would react with the metal cladding material. his oxidizing reaction would replace some of the steam with hydrogen gas. In our experiments the 4 amount of helium (substituted for hydrogen) to air ratio stays constant while the total noncondensible gas 1 fraction decreases with increasing test section temperature. However, this difference in introduction of the light gas species does not effect the experimental results, j 6.2 Results/ Discussion I, Table 6.1 shows the average heat transfer coefficients at various temperatures and helium concentrations. The local heat transfer coefficients can be found in reference 4. Figures 6.2 to 6.5 show the effects of the various concentrations of helium at a temperature of 70*C. A trend was seen in the heat transfer coefficients as the helium concentrations were increased from 0 to 30 percent molar. There appears to be a degradation in the heat transfer coefficient in the vicinity of cooling plates #5 and #11. His usually 1

63 occurred when the helium concentrations were above appmximately 4% molar, however some tests with helium concentrations above this value did not exhibit this phenomena. Some air / steam only tests (series 200) were repeated after this phenomena was observed to check for possible systematic errors but none were found and the air / steam only tests compared well to previously measured tests. The origin of this degradation is not known,it is possible that it is some sort of random flow phenomena caused by light helium gas accumulation, orit could possibly be some yet undetected systematic error. < Other than the unexplained dip in the heat transfer coefficient at plates #5 and #11 the air / helium / steam experiments produced heat transfer coefficients similar to the air / steam only experiments. This phenomena was also observed by Pernsteiner. He made an attempt to explam this similarity in helium 4 and air experiments by considering that the increase in the diffusion coefficient with helium present was off set by a stratification oflight gas next to the condensing plate. The increase of the diffusion coefficient of steam with the presence of helium increases the mass transfer coefficient and thus increases the heat transfer due to condensation / evaporation. He suggested that this incitase of the heat transfer was suppressed by a stratification layer that may have formed next to the plate. l 3 ) i 4 1 s

69 I I Chapter 7 Observations Experiments were conducted to determine the beat transfer coefficient, of steam in the pmsence of noncondensable gases, on a horizontal and venical cooled condensing plate with a sunilar surface finish as the Westinghouse AP600 contauunent. Preliminary scoping tests seem to indicate the following: - A slightly higher average heat transfer coefScient on the top condensing plate than on the vertical condensing plate was observed. This is assumed to be a result of the presence of droplets on the upper surface which results in an increased heat transfer area. - Comparisons of air / helium / steam tests to the air / steam only tests did not show any significant change in the heat transfer coefficient for helium molar ratios between 4 and 30 percent except the reported l l degradation near plate #5 and #11. The presence of this degradation is unknown at the present time. - The steam generator pipe break injection system showed increased heat transfer coefficients over the uniform injection system. This may be as result of a steam jet impinging on the surface of the upper plate. Unfortunately velocity measurements could not be obtained for the uniform injection series and only preliminary measurements were conducted with the SGPR injection system.

i 70 Some work luis been done to try to visualize the developed flow pattems in the test section, but the Presence of condensate on the side walls has slowed the effort. l i I l l l l l l

75 Thermophysical Properties of Al 2024 INTRODUCTION Samples of Al 2024 were submitted for thermophysical property determinations. Specific heat (C) was measured using a differential scanning 4 .hneter. Bulk density (d) values were obtained form the sample's geometries and mass. Thermal diffusivity (a) was measured using the laser flash technique. Thermal conductivity (A) values were calculated as the product of these quantides,i.e. A = aC,d. Specine heat is measured using a standard Perkin-Elmer Model DSC-2 differential scanning calorimeter (Figure 1) with sapphire as the reference material The standard and sample were subjected to the same heat flux as a blank and the differential powers required to heat the sample and standard at the same rate were determined using the digital data acquisition system. From the masses of the sapphire standard and sample, the differential power, and the known specific heat of sapphire, the specific heat of the sample is computed. The experimental data are visually displayed as the experiment progresses (Figure 2). All measured quantitics are directly traceable to NBS standards. Thermal diffusivity is determined using the laser flash diffusivity method. In the flash method, the front face of a small disk shaped sample is subjected to a short laser burst and the resulting rear face temperature rise is recorded and analyzed. A highly developed apparatus (Figure 3) exists at TPRL and we have been involved in an extensive program to evaluate the technique and broaden its uses. The apparatus consists of a Korad K2 laser, a high vacuum system including a bell jar with windows for viewing the sample, a tantalum or stainless steel tube heater surrounding a sample holding assembly, a thermocouple or an i.r. detector, appropriate biasing circuits, amplifiers, A/D converters, crystal clocks and a minicomputer based digital data acquisition system capable of accurately taking data in the 40 microsecond and longer time domain.The computer controls the experiment, collects the

e 76 i j l data, calculates the results and compares the raw data with the theoretical model. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The diffusivity sample was 1.271 by 1.338 by 0.3806 cm and with a density of 2.769 gm cm" Specific heat results are given in Table 1 and Figure 4. The specific heet was measured during three runs. The speciGc heat values measured during the first run increases rapidly with increasing temperature and exhibited peak near 235'C. The speciGc heat values measured during run two were smaller and the peak was about gone. The values measured in during run ihree were smaller yet and the peak had disappeared. Obviously the sample annealed during these runs. Thermal diffusivity values are given in Table 2 and Figure 5. Using these results and the specific heat values from run three, thermal conductivity values are calculated in Table

3. The specific heat values from run three were used because the additionalheat from the laser flash technique does not alter the annealing process so the "true" specific heat and not j the " apparent" specific heat is involved. The conductivity values are plotted in Figure 6.

l The conductivity values increases from 1.22 to 1.69 W cm K between 23 and 250'C. l l l l

) So f i Appendix 3 Error Analysis Theory he use of the Linear Least Squares Fit was used to detennine the best slope and intercept of the line defining the heat flux. Since we have a slab geometry we can assume that the heat flux through the < condensing surface is linear. Therefore we wish to find the best values for the equation of a line. y = mx + b 1 If we assume that the distribution of the values obtained fmm the measurement of the temperatures in the plate are govemed by Gaussian statistics then the best values of the slope (m) and the intercept (b) are 4 given by the muumization of the following equation: D2 = Ii,a [yi-(mxi- bi)]2 4 where o is a weighting factor. The above equation can then be minimized to find a pair of simultaneous equations which can be solved for the slope and the intercept. The equations for the best value of the slope and the best value of the y-intercept are as follows: i f x yii - Ni iyi m=', 2 [ i x - N(I)2 y,=b=y-mi e s

9f Where the bar over the x and y corresponds to the average values of x and y.

                      'Ibe errors in the slope and intemept can then be found using the matrix Inversion method of the linear least squares. 'Ihe equation of the line can be written in matrix notation as follows:

lYl=lXIl0l Yi lYl = 8 i Yixi nd f ' f IXI =  ! { { From these equations one can then find the following equations for the variance of the slope and intercept. 2 o* E x 02=b y3y _(Z2 x,)2 0* = N E x*-(E x )2 o Error in the heat transfer coefficient derived from the heat flux: The equation for the heat flux is given by the equation:  ; 1 l qi = kl,'

92 Now using the theory of Propagation or Combination of errors we can find the uncertainty in the heat flux: og = q"}(y)2 +(g>)2 Where again the slope or dT/dx of the best line is given by m. In the above analysis the uncertainty in the slope is essentially dependent on the statistical standard deviation of the temperature measurements. This can be assumed if we are concemed with the difference in the temperature measurements and if the absolute temperatures are the same when no heat flux is present. We are then effectively using the measured resolution of the thermocouple as the defining error in the heat flux. The term k in the above equation is the conductivity of the aluminum plate. The value and standard error for this was taken as 1.3179 +/- 0.72 w/cmK however the absolute error in the heat flux is due to the errorin the slope. The heat transfer coefficient can be found from the heat flux with the following equation: h = q"lATrnix with an associated standard error given by: Oh = h}($)2 + ( ,47

                                                                                      ,  )2 where the error in AT, was obtained by similar combination of errors.

Error in the heat transfer coefficient derived from the coolant energy balance: An energy balance on the coolant water results in the following equation: Qi ~_p acp(vat'w): p,

93 Since the maximum change in the density and heat capacity over the range of the temperature difference is only 0.2 percent, this was neglected. The heat transfer coefficient is given by the equation: h = q"lATmix with an associated error of

                                                                                       ^

Oh = h (y)2 +( 4r )2 +(Y)* +( AT ) Where AT is the bulk mixture temperature minus the plate surface temperature. ATis the temperature difference between the water inlet temperature and the water outlet temperature of the coolant plate. The errors associated with this was obtained from the standard deviation of the ensomble measwed. t
