Numerical simulation of thermal stratification in a branch pipe

  • 1. Toshiba Corp., Yokoyama, Kanagawa (Japan)

Description

The cavity flow is driven by the main flow where the branched flow from main pipe in plants is stagnant. Heat of main flow is transported to the branch pipe and the thermal stratification is formed in the branch pipe. It is necessary that the location of thermal stratification can be predicted in order to estimate the thermal fatigue of pipe wall. This study predicts the location of thermal stratification using numerical simulation, and showed the prediction has good agreement with experiments. (author)
