摘要:

在熔盐中添加微纳颗粒形成纳米流体是一种强化熔盐储热材料热物性的有效方法。本工作利用Fluent软件对二元氯化物熔盐(52NaCl-48CaCl2,摩尔分数)及其掺杂Mg的纳米流体在二维正方形腔体内的熔化过程进行了数值模拟,分析了熔盐在方腔内的熔化过程以及纳米颗粒的掺杂对腔体内熔盐熔化过程的影响。结果表明,在熔盐及其纳米流体的整个熔化过程中,主要传热形式经历热传导-自然对流-热传导三个阶段。纳米颗粒的掺杂增加了熔盐的传热速率,缩短了熔盐熔化过程所用的时间。与纯二元氯化物熔盐相比,掺杂1%(质量分数)和2%Mg的熔盐纳米流体的熔化时间分别缩短了11.34%和19.92%,固液转变时间分别缩短了33.3%和43.0%。

Abstract:

Nanoparticles are typically added to molten salt to form nanofluids that enhance the thermophysical properties of heat storage materials. In this study, Fluent software was used to perform numerical simulations of the melting process of binary chloride salt (52NaCl-48CaCl2, %) and its doped Mg nanofluids in a two-dimensional square cavity. Furthermore, the melting process of the molten salt in a square cavity and the influence of doping nanoparticles on the melting process of molten salt were analyzed. The results revealed that during the melting process of the molten salt and its nanofluids, heat transfer occurred in three stages, namely conduction, natural convection, and conduction. The addition of nanoparticles increased the heat transfer rate of molten salt and reduced the time of melting and phase change processes. The melting times of 1% and 2% Mg nanofluids were reduced by 11.34% and 19.92%, respectively. Furthermore, the solid-liquid transformation time 1% and 2% Mg nanofluids reduced by 33.3% and 43.0%, respectively.
