Investigating ceramic breeder pebble beds thermomechanics evolution using novel pressure mapping technology

Journal Article Lotfy, Mahmoud ; Ying, Alice ; Abdou, Mohamed ; ... - Fusion Engineering and Design

Ceramic breeder pebble beds undergo complex thermomechanical interactions during blanket operation due to stress build-up and relaxation under the effects of confined thermal expansion, thermal cycling, and creep. Understanding the evolution of such processes can aid in guiding blanket design/assembly, breeder materials developments, predicting performance and possible failure modes. This study introduces experimental techniques that enable us to create an environment in which the pebble bed stresses are organically generated as a result of relevant temperature gradients and magnitudes that allows us to observe the combined thermomechanical interaction effects. A novel non-intrusive in-situ tactile pressure sensing technology is used tomore »« less

Experimental and Numerical Study of Ceramic Breeder Pebble Bed Thermal Deformation Behavior

Journal Article Zhiyong, An ; Ying, Alice ; Abdou, Mohamed - Fusion Science and Technology

Experiments on thermomechanics interactions between clad and pebble beds have been performed with overstoichiometric lithium orthosilicate pebbles (pebble diameters between 0.25 and 0.63 mm) at temperatures of 700-800 deg. C. The experimental results show that the thermal deformation of our pebble bed system is nonlinear and when the operating temperature is higher than 600 deg. C, thermal creep deformation is generated. In this paper, constitutive equations of the elastic and creep deformation are derived from the experimental results. Incorporating the effective constitutive equations in finite element method (FEM), numerical investigations presenting the elastic and plastic deformation characteristics of pebble bedmore »« less
PEBBLES: A COMPUTER CODE FOR MODELING PACKING, FLOW AND RECIRCULATIONOF PEBBLES IN A PEBBLE BED REACTOR

Conference Cogliati, Joshua J ; Ougouag, Abderrafi M

A comprehensive, high fidelity model for pebble flow has been developed and embodied in the PEBBLES computer code. In this paper, a description of the physical artifacts included in the model is presented and some results from using the computer code for predicting the features of pebble flow and packing in a realistic pebble bed reactor design are shown. The sensitivity of models to various physical parameters is also discussed.
