Summary

The fundamental two-phase flow characteristics of slush nitrogen in a pipe are numerically investigated to develop effective cooling performance for long-distance superconducting cable. First, the governing equations of two-phase slush nitrogen flow based on the unsteady thermal non-equilibrium two-fluid model are constructed and several flow characteristics are numerically calculated taking into account the effects of the slush volume fraction, the thermodynamic behaviour of slush, and the duct shape. Furthermore, the numerical results are compared with previous experimental results on pressure loss measurement and visualization measurement in two-phase slush nitrogen flow along the longitudinal direction of the pipe.
