This method involved injecting pulverized coal into the vaporization cooling flue of a converter, and the approach was developed based on an industrial 30 t converter. The effects of temperature, O2 content, and the volumetric ratio of CO to CO2 on the conversion of the mixed components of gas were analyzed using thermodynamic calculations. Furthermore, the effect of the injection rate on the quality and quantity of gas was investigated. The results show that the O2 and CO2 components of flue gas decrease as the injection rate increases, whereas the CO and H2 components synchronously increase. With the injection rate of 30 kg min-1, the 02 and CO2 components of the gas decreased by 64.12 and 41.19%, respectively, while the CO and H2 increased by 20.09 and 236.84%, respectively, and the recovery time of gas increased by 11.61%, compared to non-injection.展开更多

Subcooled boiling could occur at high thermal load, which would be simulated based on the homogeneous equilibrium model. The results show that the current design of the HL-2M divertor could withstand the local heat flux 10 MW m^-2 at a plasma pulse duration of 5 s, inlet coolant pressure of 1.5 MPa and flow velocity of 4 m s^-1. The pulse duration that the HL-2M divertor could withstand is closely related to the coolant velocity. In addition, at the time of 2 min after plasma discharge, the flow velocity decreased from 4 m s^-1 to 1 m s^-1, and the divertor could also be cooled to the initial temperature before the next plasma discharge commences.展开更多
