Abstract

The subcooled flow boiling critical heat fluxes (CHFs) and the heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) data for the tube length, L, of 49, 99 and 149 mm with 9-mm inner diameter were applied to thermal analysis on the Mono-block type divertor of LHD. Incident CHFs for the divertor with the cooling tube diameter, d, of 10 mm and the carbon armor outer diameter, D, of 26 and 33 mm were numerically analyzed based on the measured CHFs and HTCs at the inlet pressure of around 800 kPa. The numerical solutions were also compared with those for the Flat-plate type divertor, which were numerically analyzed for the divertor with the cooling tube diameter d=10 mm and the divertor width, w, ranging from 16 to 30 mm. It is confirmed that the ratio of the one-side heating CHF data, qcr,inc, to the uniform heating CHF data, qcr,sub, can be represented as the simple equation based on the numerical solutions. The values of the qcr,inc for L=50, 100 and 150 mm were estimated with various D/d and w/d at higher pressures.
