1. INTRODUCTION
The US Army Ballistic Research Laboratory (BRL) is currently modifying an existing shocktube located ;-* the Aberdeen Proving Grounds to demonstrate Large Blast/ThermalSimulato- +echnologies and to provide high fidelity air blast environmonts for nucleareffects testing. This facility will be the first large shock tube to use heated driver gas toachieve desired air blast waveforms in the test section. The driver gas must be heatedand the driver quickly pressurized to minimize heat loss to the driver walls; this requiredinnovative solutions to pumping hot gas.
Under BRL sponsorship SPARTA developed and demonstrated a driver filling methcoawhich pumps liquid nitrogen (LN) through a previously heated Pebble Bed Heater (PBH)thereby vaporizing the liquid and raising its temperature to the desired value in one pass(Figure 1). A bypass system allows precise control of the output gas temperature byselectively mixing LN with the heated gas exiting the Pebble Bed Heater. This approachhas the advantages that: pumping a liquid is more efficient than pumping a gas (if indeedpumping a hot gas can be done at all), the LN pump is much smaller and much morerobust than a gas compressor system and the constant displacement pump mass flowrate is independent of back pressure.
SPARTA installed a 22 ton Pebble Bed Heater working unit at BRL and successfullydemonstrated its performance (Reference 1). Manually operated valves were used toroute the liquid nitrogen to the Pebble Bed Heater in these initial tests. However, anautomatic control system is preferable to manual operation for safety, precise gastemperature control and efficiency of operation.
1.1 Objectives
The objectives of the present study were to design an automatic control system whichmeets established requirements, analyze its performance, prepare drawings and providea system cost estimate.
1.2 Requirements
Four driver gas design conditions were established by BRL (Table 1). The driver fillingstrategy is to pump a constant temperature gas (at or above the design temperature) untiithe driver gas reaches the design pressure (Reference 2). During the filling process, thePBH back pressure will rise from ambient to the peak value approximately linearly(depending on the magnitude of the heat loss to the walls).
1.3 Scope
Valves and valve properties were selected from vendor supplied information. Appropriatevalve settings were established based on a thermal hydraulic model which consideredpressure drops in the primary and bypass paths. Control system response wasestablished based on analytical models of the valve/actuator motion. Cost estimates werebased on vendor quotes and engineering estimates by experienced personnel.

2. GAS SUPPLY CONTROL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The control system analysis starts with a control system layout and performancecharacteristics of the specific valves used to direct the flow to the PBH and the bypasssystem.
2.1 Control Systerr Layout
Liquid nitrogen is pumped from a tank through a series of pipes and valves to the PebbleBed Heater. Numerous diagnostic measurements, exhaust valves, check valves andcontrol valves are used to control the fluid flow as indicated in Figure 2 which is takenfrom Reference 3. The PBH control valves denoted as V7 and V8 are of specific interestto this study.
The PBH controls perform the functions of regulating the outlet temperature of the PBHmixer to a specified setpoint. The PBH operates by receiving LN from the high pressurepumping system and branching the LN flow into two subsystems, the primary pebble-bedand the bypass thermal mixer. Precise control of valves 7 and 8 in the primary andbypass lines is required to produce a stable outlet temperature of the PBH.
2.2 Control Valves
Globe valves have been selected for the PBH valves because of their ruggedconstruction, cryogenic rating and high capacity. Valve position control is achieved by theuse of a closed feedback control loop to the actuators using the outlet temperature of themixer as the feedback sei sor point. Valtek Mark One valves and Linear Spring actuatorswere chosen to develop valve performance characteristics and establish cost estimates(Reference 4).

3. THERMAL HYDRAULIC ANALYSIS
Engineering procedures were developed from analytical models based on conservationof fluid momentum and energy. All Pebble Bed Heater thermal hydraulic processes arerelatively slow so transients are not important.
3.1 Moael
The relationship defining the temperature of the nitrogen gas leaving the thermal mixeris
rhT(CPT+hV) - rh7(C, T -, h,) ,rhSCP TLN EQ (1)
Conservation of mass gives
rhT - r77 + mn EQ (2)
Substituting (2) into (1) and solving for temperature gives
rm h.T-Tpa-- ( Tpa- T+- ) EQ (3)
For convenience we define a reference temperature
TR=TP8-TLN+h, EQ (4)CP
Both mr, and m8 are a function of time during the operation of the PBH due to changingback pressure and, near the end of the run, changing PBH exit temperature. Controlvalves located on the primary PBH supply line (V7) and the mixer bypass supply line (V8)are assumed identical with respect to flow capability.
The mass flow rates are determined by equating the pressure drops in the primary andbypass legs. In the primary system the pressure drops are due to the pipes, valve 7, theelbows and the PBH; in the bypass system the pressure drops are due to the pipes andvalve 8. Following Reference 5 we have for the primary leg

and therefore

where it is understood that the terms C7 and C8 are functions of x.
Since the liquid nitrogen is essentially incompressible, Equation 3 can be rewritten as

which gives the output gas temperature as a function of valve position. Setting the output

3.2 Calculations
Sample calculations are made to indicate nominal valve settings and their sensitivities.The basic procedure is to set one valve (e.g., V7) at a single setting and control the PBHoutput temperature with the other valve (V8). It is desirable that the valves be operatedin mid range, if possible, simply to avoid fine settings and/or slamming into the stopsunnecessarily. The design test conditions are addressed first at their peak backpressures. Then the effect of back pressure is considered.
3.2.1 Design Test Conditions
A broad range of PBH output temperatures are achievable if the PBH is heated to 2000OR (1110 OK). The peak design temperature of 1193 OR (663 OK) is achieved with asecondary valve relative opening of 0.2 to 0.5 as the primary valve relative openingranges from 0.25 to 1.0 (Figure 3).

Considering each design case individually, the sensitivity to outlet temperature isestablished by calculating the required valve settings for the nominal design condition andfor the next lowest outlet design condition (Figures 4 to 7). Initial bed temperatures werepicked based on enthalpy scaling from present test results (i.e., thermal energy requiredis proportional to the mass and temperature of gas required). However, while technicallyfeasible to operate at PBH temperatures near the desired outlet temperature for the lowerpressures, a minimum bed overheat of 500 "R was evolved by trial and error to insurerobust valve control (see for example, Figure 8 compared to Figure 6 and Figure 9compared to Figure 7).
3.2.2 Effect of Back Pressure
All of the pressure drop mechanisms considered except the PBH assumed that thenitrogen was liquid; therefore, only the PBH pressure drop will be a function of backpressure. We have
DELP4 - f (Re) E U,2 EQ (16)
The Reynolds number range considered is about 10 to 1000 and according to Reference5, the pressure drop across a porous media is not a strong function of Reynolds numberin this range. Further, the mass flow is constant and the nitrogen gas phase follows theperfect gas law which results in
DELP4 - T EQ (17)P
Thus, at a given bed temperature, the pressure drop is inversely proportional to the backpressure. Figures 10 and 11 indicate valve setting combinations required at a lower backpressure for each of the elevated design temperature conditions. While there is someeffect (e.g., the required V8 relative opening is lowered about 0.1 for a 70 percent V7opening), the required valve positions are well within the operating capability of the gassupply system and the long pumping cycle (order of minutes) allows plenty of time for theautomatic control system to adjust.

4. CONTROL SYSTEM DYNAMIC ANALYSIS
A dynamic model of the valve operation and control system was developed to assessautomatic valve performance.
4.1 Model
Once the primary valve has been set, the mass flow rate through the bypass valve is
dh8 = MFR x(.) EQ (18)L
where MFR = mass flowrate with the valve fully open (back pressure dependent).
The valve seat is positioned by a spring loaded pneumatically actuated piston. Modernglobe valves are fast acting and highly damped so the actuator is modeled as a dampedspring mass system. The force balance equation for the pneumatic actuator is
mk+ f,9+ kx- F(t) EQ (19)
Defining a valve position forcing function as
X, (t) M F(t) EQ (20)k
and defining the following constants
k EQ (21)
ff =EQ (22)24 km
Equation 19 becomes
,k+ 2 ý + 0, x - X,(t) C02 EQ (23)
The Laplace transform of EQ 23 is
18
x(s) - X,(s) o2W + (s+ 2•oj )x(O) (s) + (s+ 2[a)c,)x(O) G(s) EQ (24)s2+ 2C to, s+wo0, o )
where X•(s) is the transformed valve position forcing function, x(O) is the valve actuatorinitial position determined from Figures 4 to 7 and
O~2
G(s) - EQ (25)s2 + 2cons + (0)
Since pumping time (minutes) is long compared to the valve response time ( ~ seconds)and valve damping is high, a proportional control system was selected. Setting theactuator forcing function proportional to the difference between the measured outputtemperature and the control or setpoint temperature
Xt = K (T- T,) EQ (26)
Substituting (EQ 18) into (EQ 3) gives
T- T L- MFR TR x(t) EQ (27)dITL
Taking the Laplace transforms of (EQ 26) and (EQ 27) and combining with (EQ 24) gives
T(s) = Tps(s) - • . G(s) K(T(s)- (s - 2ýx(O) EQ (28)
or
T (s) - Tp(s) + K1G(s) [Ta(s) - T(s) - (s + 2 n) x(O) EQ (29)L KW n
where the nondimensional
K-•- K MFTR EQ (30)rhT L
Solving for T(s) in (EQ 29) gives
19
T(s) - TpB (s)+ K1 G(s) T,(s) - K(s + 2Co•) x(O)G(s) EQ(31)1 + K, G(s) K=,,n (1 - K, G(s))
Because T, (the setpoint temperature) is a constant value, the Laplace transform is
Tc (s) T EQ (32)S
The temperature of the outlet gas of the PBH (primary flow), Tp, entenng the thermalmixer can also be considered a constant because
1. This temperature will be maintained at a nearly constant value until the pebble-bedtemperature at the end (bottom) of the pebble-bed starts dropping. This typicallywould occur when approximately 80 % of the process flow has been used.
2. During the last 20% of the flow period, the gas temperature at the outlet willdecrease slowly compared to the response rate of the control valves.
Thus, the Laplace transform of T., is
TP8(s) - T9 EQ (33)
S
Substituting (EQ 32) and (EQ 33) into (EQ 31) gives
Ts 1 - Tp -, KT TcG(s) K, (s+2to,))x(O)G(s) EQ (34)T (s) 1 + K, G(s) - K(on' (1 + K, G(s))
and taking the inverse transform of (EQ 34) gives
T(t) - TPB -K Tý +.K,(Tp 5- T,)- K, x(O) *1+ K1 1 1+ K K W EQ (35)
e- , (o t l+K )+ 1 - ....... sin(°•nt4 1+K -K _ )~coso1 1+ K- _ 1
High gain (K, >> 1) is required to result in the steady state value of T approaching T,.Inspection of EQ 35 indicates that for Tp. of the order of 2000OR and T, of the order of1000 OR, K1 must be of the order of 50 to achieve controlled mixed gas temperatureswithin 5 percent of the desired temperature T,.
20
The resulting solution for valve position (from EQ 27) becomes
x(t) rh T K, ( Tp- T,)

4.2 Calculations
Example calculations were made to demonstrate valve performance using the following
characteristics from Valtek literature:
w,, = spring cylinder actuator natural frequency = 2.5 cps= damping ratio = 0.7
Selecting an initial position of the primary valve as 70 percent open, the peak design
condition of 2000 OR and 129 atm back pressure, an initial valve position of half open and
a K1 of 50, the setpoint temperature is achieved in less than a quarter of a second (Figure
13). Note that the valve motion is minimal due to the excellent choice of initial position;
Figure 14 provides a better view of the motion by changing the scale of the ordinate.

6. Summary
Conclusions and recommendations reached as result of this design study are summarizedbelow.
6.1 Conclusions
* An automated control system for the BRL 1/6th scale shock tube is
feasible and practical using off the shelf hardware.
* Globe valves of the type selected for valves 7 and 8 give positive control over
the output gas temperature with reasonable valve actuator positions.
* Drver gas backpressure has a small effect on control valve position based on
the Pebble Bed Heater pressure drop model developed here.
* The analytical models should be calibrated with test data for each design
condition.
6.2 Recommendations
* Assembly, programming, installation and checkout of an automated control
system should begin immediately.
* The time dependent driver gas filling model developed in Reference 2 should be
coupled to the gas supply system quasi-steady and dynamic control models in asystem simulation to develop detailed control strategies for each test condition.This simulation should be used to establish test procedures, train operators andanalyze test data.
* Pebble Bed Heater and mixer nozzle pressure drop data should be obtained for
a variety of flow conditions and a more detailed model developed for use in thecontrol system model.
* A control system analysis should be performed for the existing valves which are
being retrofitted for automatic control and the models should be calibrated with testdata.
