Heat Transfer Analysis of Insulation Layer in Liquid Hydrogen Vessel
This study developed a coupled fluid-thermal analysis method for a liquid hydrogen control valve system. Using ANSYS CFX, a transient CFD analysis was performed for the control valve system, including MLI, and the thermal analysis was linked to evaluate the insulation performance of MLI. The analysis examined the pressure distribution, turbulent viscosity, and heat flux at the inlet and outlet, revealing that the highest heat flux occurred in MLI 2. This research is expected to contribute to improving the thermal shielding performance and efficient insulation design of liquid hydrogen storage systems.
