Project Description

FMP is releasing 3 project descriptions for solicitation of proposals as listed in Table 1.

Table 1: Solicitation Projects

Project Description Identifier Number Project Description Title 1 Compact Two-Phase Heat Transfer Surfaces 2 Light Weight and Compact Radiation Shielding 3 High Performance Ion Exchange Media

Project Description #1: Compact Two-Phase Heat Transfer Surfaces

(TPOC: Miguel Gerena, NNL)

The Naval Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) is interested in innovative water-to-water latent heat transfer surfaces and flow paths for boiling and condensing that maximize heat transfer while minimizing pressure drop, volume, and weight. Latent heat transfer is one of the most effective ways to transfer heat. The heat transfer coefficients (HTC) for boiling and condensing are orders of magnitude higher than the HTC found for sensible heat transfer. Packaging this capability on a small footprint is proven difficult due to the large velocity gradients found in the two-phase side of the heat exchanger. These large velocity gradients also add additional pressure drop, which can affect the local HTC. Another challenging characteristic is channel size. During channel size selection for boiling surfaces, the designer must keep in mind the average bubble detachment radius to determine the average bubble size, also determine that coalescence of such bubbles will not blanket the surface and prevent heat transfer.

For the purpose of this request for proposal, a compact heat exchanger is defined as having a beta value of at least 1000

. Compact two-phase heat exchanger design is a challenging process due to the importance of pressure drop in the system. Apart from the pressure drop affecting the steam outlet pressure, boiling regimes and velocities must be managed during phase change to have an effective design. Optimizing the pressure drop, flow regimes, and boiling regimes to make the latent heat transfer as efficient as possible is the biggest challenge presented during the design. Optimizing other heat transfer bottlenecks, such as but not limited to single-phase side HTC coefficients is also of interest.

New heat transfer surfaces and flow paths to address the challenges described above are requested for submission. These submittals should also take into consideration hermeticity, manufacturability, fouling, fatigue limits, repairability, in-service inspectability, performance of the surface at different orientations, performance at a design pressure of 2400 psig, and a design temperature of 600 °F. For boiling, NNL is interested in an outlet condition of low steam quality to superheat, but there is a preference for high steam quality. These considerations also apply for condensing surfaces and flow paths. The condenser pressure should be in between

1.5 to 7.0 in Hg absolute, with seawater as the heat sink.

All proposals should specifically identify the technological gap and address how the work proposed may lead to the implementation or development of an improved latent heat transfer surface and/or flow path. Any ideas on how to make the entire heat transfer process more power dense without adversely impacting the flow will be considered.

Project Description #2: Light Weight and Compact Radiation Shielding

(TPOC: Jason Rothenberger, NNL)

Robust shielding for intense, high-energy neutron and gamma sources is necessary to reduce radiation fields to a level safe for people. This is particularly challenging for high-energy mixed radiation fields because most traditional shielding materials cannot efficiently shield both gammas and neutrons. Such shielding using traditional materials can be heavy and bulky, often consisting of layers of materials targeted at attenuating specific types and energies of radiation.

This makes installation, moving, and design challenging and expensive, often requiring special procedures and support structures. A reduction in the overall weight and volume of shielding material while retaining effectiveness is desirable in many industries employing strong radioactive sources.

Shielding is often plagued by gaps between shielding materials and against structures or surrounding canning. Complex and expensive shielding may be required to account for these gaps that represent weak points in a shield. A shield that effectively fills such a hypothetical gap, obviating the need for supplemental shielding is desirable. Beyond this consideration, there is no requirement for the form of the material (e.g., granular, aggregate, spherical, sheet, blocks, liquid).

A new material or approach to address the challenges described above is requested for submission. Any recommended material(s) should have the ability to effectively shield neutron and gamma radiation; alpha and beta radiation are of secondary concern. Required characteristics include:

• Ability to maximize the attenuation of several MeV gamma and fission neutron sources.

• Ability to withstand temperatures of 180 F without significant material property degradation for a time period of at least 10 years.

• Affordable in material acquisition, installation, and maintenance.

• Scalable in production such that 25 cubic feet can be produced and installed.

Desired, but not required characteristics include:

• Scalable production and installation to 1000 cubic feet at an approximate cost of $4k per cubic foot or less.

• Some compressibility or capability of expansion to fill a space in which it is installed.

• Attenuation of several MeV gamma and fission neutron by more than a factor of 1000 through the depth of 1 foot.

• Low off-gassing in a mixed neutron/gamma radiation field in the desired temperature range.

• A high thermal conductivity.

• Ability to withstand temperatures is desirable up to 550 F without significant material property degradation.

• Non-toxic when being fabricated (e.g., cut, milled).

• Minimize material activation that produces penetrating radiation after use.

• Low thermal expansion coefficient.

• Does not require special precautions for safe handling or storage.

• High-damping to reduce mechanical vibrations.

All proposals should specifically identify the technological gap and address how the work proposed may lead to the implementation or development of an improved shielding material.

Project Description #3: High Performance Ion Exchange Media

(TPOC: Mike LeClair, Coolant Technology Development)

NNL is interested in developing ion exchange media with enhanced performance characteristics. Traditional mixed bed resins have an operating temperature range limited by the anion resin thermal stability. Anion capacity rapidly degrades at temperatures above ~140 °F. For applications in ultrapure water with very low ionic contaminates, thermal degradation of the anion capacity can be the limiting factor for media bed lifetime. The need to cool the water to be purified also creates parasitic losses for thermal hydraulic systems that operate at high temperatures. To overcome these challenges, NNL is seeking proposals to enhance critical capabilities of ion exchange media, including the following:

• Improved thermal stability to enable increased normal operating temperature (>~200

°F) and/or longer-lived media beds

• Increased total mixed bed ion exchange capacity (>0.8 milliequivalents per milliliter)

Prospective offerings should be accompanied by a description of the changes to typical resin characteristics (e.g. chemistry, structure) that would enable these improvements. The selected materials will be tested for both initial capacity and remaining capacity after being subjected to thermal treatments at varying temperatures and durations.

Candidates for consideration should also meet the other requirements in the Military Specification for ion exchange resins (MIL-DTL-24119D(SH)). The mixed resin should consist of cation resins in both the hydrogen and ammonium form and anion resins in the hydroxide form. Alternatively, a different type of media other than resin made from cross-linked polystyrenes could offer these improved capabilities and are encouraged to be submitted as well.

The ability to capture and retain particulates in the colloidal (sub-micron) to tens of microns range is also desirable. Proposals should provide discussion of total bed capacity for particulates in this range and potential ways to enhance this capacity.
