    An experiment was carried out to study the flow resistance characteristics of supercritical water in a fuel assembly simulator of supercritical water-cooled reactor. The experimental parameters covered the pressure of 23-25 MPa, mass flux of 350-700 kg/(m2·s) and heat flux density of 200-600 kW/m2. The variation laws of friction pressure drop and friction resistance coefficient of supercritical water were obtained. The results show that under the given conditions of pressure, mass flux and heat flux density,with the increase of fluid temperature, the friction resistance coefficient first increases and then decreases, and there is a peak before the pseudo-critical temperature,showing a Λ-shaped distribution. The friction resistance coefficient decreases obviously with the increase of mass flux, but it is insensitive to the changes of pressure and heat flux density. The variation of the thermophysical properties has a great impact on the friction resistance coefficient, and the friction resistance coefficient empirical correlations based on constant-property fluid is difficult to accurately predict the flow resistance characteristics of supercritical water in the 2×2 rod bundle.

    Based on the FLUENT software, heat storage process of 8 h and heat release process of 16 h for the integrated receiver-storage units were numerically simulated, the temperature distribution of rock and air in the packed bed was obtained, its heat transfer characteristics were studied, and the influencing factors of thermal performance were analyzed. The results show that during the heat storage process, the axial and radial temperature distribution of the packed bed are not uniform. Thermo-cline appears along the axial direction, and a local high temperature area appears along the radial direction on the upper part of the packed bed. The axial and radial temperature distribution over time is influenced by the existence of the return pipe. At the equilibrium point, the rock temperature equals to the air temperature. The efficiency for 8 h heat storage process of the integrated receiver-storage unit is 97.6%.The position in height of the return pipe outlet from the ground does not affect the thermal efficiency. The pressure difference of the circulating fan mainly affects the heat release efficiency and solar-to-heat efficiency. The average diameter of the rock particles mainly affects the absorption efficiency and heat release efficiency.

    Taking the last stage long blades in the low pressure cylinder of a steam turbine as a research object, combined with the numerical calculation method and the particle transport model, researched were conducted on the braking force and braking loss of the last stage long blades under different working conditions, while the aerodynamic pressure and water hammer pressure of each blade height section were given. Results show that the worst region influenced by the water erosion is the top part of the last stage blade, and the more severe water erosion would occur in the last stage long blades under small volume flow condition.

    For the determined rotor, SolidWorks software was used for simulation. The results show that compared with the simulation results and high-speed dynamic balance test results, the critical speed of the measuring points of the front and rear bearings of the steam turbine rotor is within the allowable error range of 5%. The vibration variation trend of the measuring points of the front and rear bearings of the steam turbine is basically consistent with the results of the high-speed dynamic balance test, which verifies the accuracy of the simulation method and lays a foundation for the rapid development of the rotor of the high-speed industrial steam turbine.

    The leakage reasons of the water wall header handhole cover of waste incinerator in a power plant were analyzed by means of macroscopic inspection, geometric dimension measurement, chemical composition analysis, mechanical property detection, metallographic analysis, scanning electron microscopy and energy spectrum analysis, etc. The results show that overheating operation exists in the water wall header, high temperature sulfur corrosion occurs on the outer surface of the cover, and erosion corrosion occurs on the windward side of the cover. The joint action of high temperature and corrosion leads to the serious thinning of the wall thickness of the cover, and cracking and leakage occur under the pressure of the inner wall working medium.

    To analyze the feasibility of the start-up with non-nuclear steam of sodium-cooled fast reactor turbine under a certain boundary condition, based on the simplified model of the thermal system of the sodium-cooled fast reactor, a thermal balance calculation was established for the start-up with non-nuclear steam, and corresponding optimized schemes were proposed. Results show that, with only using steam generated by the heat storage of the primary and secondary loop of the reactor, the steam flow can not meet the requirements of the start-up with non-nuclear steam, while the start-up with non-nuclear steam of sodium-cooled fast reactor turbine is feasible when combined with auxiliary steam.

    In order to understand the influence of sludge mixed combustion on the actual operation of the boiler, a control test was carried out on a 660 MW wall type tangentially-fired boiler. Sludge was mixed combustion under high, medium and low load, and compared with the working condition without sludge. The results show that when the sludge with water content of 72% under the condition of 2% blending ratio, the temperature distribution of boiler furnace is roughly the same, the average temperature decreases by about 15 K, the smoke exhaust temperature of the unit increases slightly, the emission concentration of NOx and SO2 decreases, the emission concentration of CO increases, the coking of mixed fuel ash residue increases slightly, and the boiler efficiency decreases by about 0.2%. Combined with the heavy metal detection and dioxin emission test results of mixed fuel ash residue, it is concluded that it is feasible for coal-fired units to burn low proportion and high water content sludge under various loads.

    A 660 MW ultra-supercritical boiler adopts four-wall tangential combustion arrangement, which has long-term problems in the operation process, such as large temperature fluctuation of water cooling wall under low load, and frequent overtemperature of rear screen superheater under high load. Combined with numerical simulation analysis and field test research, it is found that the main reasons of large combustion deviation and heating surface overtemperature are the output deviation of burner caused by burner layout, complex heat load characteristics of burner area and unreasonable air distribution mode. A combination of precise air distribution technology, the control optimization of primary air volume of coal mill and the automatic control optimization technology of secondary air baffle is proposed to solve the problem of boiler heating surface overtemperature.

    Taking a 600 MW air cooling unit from pure condensing to heating as the research object, the combined utilization of residual pressure and waste heat was proposed through using the steam ejector and the low-pressure steam turbine, and analyses were conducted on this unit for energy saving. The heating period was divided into four stages, and the change of the heat consumption rate in different heating stages was analyzed. The changes of the steam injector recovery exhaust steam quantity and the low-pressure turbine power were calculated under different back pressures of the unit and circulating water flows of the heating network. Calculation results show that, with the operation mode of the 30 kPa back pressure of the unit and the maximum circulating water flow of the heating network, the optimal benefit of the unit can be obtained with the largest amount of waste steam, the highest power of low-pressure steam turbine, and the largest benefit of energy saving.

    For a tripping accident in a 660 MW ultra-supercritical double reheat unit resulted from the over-temperature of exhaust steam of high-pressure cylinder during commissioning, analyses were conducted on the tripping reasons, while corresponding measures were proposed. Results show that the tripping of the unit is caused by the illogicality of the controller of exhaust steam temperature of high-pressure cylinder, the turbine cylinder cut-off and the bypass. By adopting the optimized logic, similar accidents can be avoided, and the safety and stability of the unit operation can be improved.
