IDENTIFICATION OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THERMAL ENGINEERING MATERIALS UNDER CONDITIONS OF NONSTATIONARY HEATING WITH CHANGES IN PRESSURE BY SOLVING INVERSE HEAT EXCHANGE PROBLEMS. 1. DEVELOPMENT OF COMPUTING ALGORITHMS

Modern space technology is characterized by structures that operate under conditions of intense, often extreme, thermal infl uences. The general trend in the development of technology is associated with an increase in the number of critical heat-loaded technical objects with rougher conditions for their thermal loading with simultaneously increasing reliability and service life, reducing material consumption. For spacecraft, ensuring thermal conditions is one of the most important sections of design, determining the main design decisions. Characteristic features of modern heat-loaded structures of space technology are nonstationarity, nonlinearity, multidimensionality, and the conjugate nature of heat and mass transfer processes. These features limit the possibility of using many traditional computational-theoretical and experimental research methods. Highly porous thermal insulation materials with low thermal conductivity are widely used in the thermal protection designs of modern space technology objects. These materials typically have an open-pore structure. This leads to the fact that the thermophysical properties of these materials depend signifi cantly on the gas pressure of the medium in which heat-protective structures based on them operate. It can also be noted that as the ambient pressure increases, a more intense increase in the thermal conductivity coeffi cient is observed. The purpose of this work is to develop a complex of experimental and mathematical tools for a system of identifi cation of the properties of highly porous materials operating under conditions of not only changing thermal loads, but also of variable pressure

IDENTIFYING THE THERMAL-CONDUCTIVITY TENSOR OF A NITROGEN THERMAL PROTECTION BY THE ITERATIVE REGULARIZATION METHOD

Consideration is given to the method of parametric identifi cation of a symmetric thermal-conductivity tensor for a cryogenic nitrogen thermal protection thermostatting an aluminum skeleton of a cylindrical nitrogen-fi lled vessel. This problem is solved as the problem of seeking the global minimum of the root-mean-square residual functional between the theoretical fi eld of temperatures and the registered maximum thermal-protection temperature. To this end, it is necessary to solve the "primal" problem of heat transfer between the thermal protective coating with a selected initial approximation of components of the thermal-conductivity vector and their basis functions taking account of their dependence on temperature. The method of conjugate directions has been selected as the most accurate optimization method of fi rst order of convergence. To implement this method, it is necessary to fi nd components of the gradient of the residual functional under study. The descent step in this method is sought from the minimum of the target functional at each computational iteration, which corresponds to the iterative regularization method. A criterion for the cessation of the iterative process is the superposition of errors that introduce ill-posedness into the formulation of the problem under study

INVERSE PROBLEM OF THERMAL DIAGNOSTICS OF MULTIPLY CONNECTED STRUCTURES WITH HETEROGENEOUS MATERIALS

A study has been made of the inverse problem on determining the thermophysical characteristics of multiply connected structures with heterogeneous materials, that are taken as the sign of their diagnostics. The procedure of diagnostics is based on solution of the inverse problem on determining the thermophysical characteristics of objects in a variational formulation. The quality functional for this formulation is new, not used before in the theory of inverse problems and diagnostics. The theorem of singe-valued solvability of the inverse problem in question has been proved, the iterative algorithm of its solution has been presented, and the extreme properties of the quality functional have been established. The proposed procedure is based on observations beyond an object and allows diagnostics in a nondestructive noncontact regime. Initial data with an error and the infl uence of the standard on solution are discussed.

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF HEAT EXCHANGE IN COOLING THE SURFACE BY A SYSTEM OF SUBMERGED DIELECTRIC-LIQUID JETS

Heat exchange on a heat-stressed surface and the critical heat fl ow from it in the process of cooling this surface by a system of distributed impact submerged microjets of a dielectric liquid, depending on the velocity of these jets, were investigated experimentally for the case where the initial subcooling of the liquid in the jets to the saturation temperature comprises 40 ± 2o C. The experiments were conducted for 36 jets of the HFE-7100 dielectric liquid with an initial diameter of 174 μm, outfl owing from the nozzles positioned at a distance of 1 mm from a cooling surface. It was established that the heat transfer coeffi cients of this surface and the critical heat fl ow from it are determined by the velocity of the jets, acting on the surface, and the initial subcooling of the cooling liquid, and that they are much larger than those in the case of pool boiling of the cooling liquid on the surface and in the case of its cooling by a single jet of a liquid with a small subcooling to the saturation temperature.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF A HVAC SYSTEM WITH A HEAT RECOVERY WHEEL FOR A HOSPITAL BUILDING

An eff ective heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system has been designed for a three storey north-oriented hospital building. The heat load of this building was calculated using the Hourly Analysis Program software with regard for the recovery of the energy from the exhaust air stream with the use of a heat recovery wheel reducing the temperature of the supply air stream and lowering the load on the air handling unit in the building. The results obtained show that a heat recovery wheel attached to a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system makes it possible to improve the indoor air quality with conservation of 30% of the the electrical energy.

THE EFFECT OF REVERSE AND OPPOSITE INJECTION ON THE FILM COOLING PERFORMANCE OF A SYMMETRICAL TURBINE BLADE

A numerical investigation on the fi lm cooling performance of a symmetrical turbine blade is carried out for reverse injection (RH), forward injection (FH), and opposite injection (OH) which combines forward and reverse injection holes. Another objective of this work is to study the eff ect of the distances between the injection holes, and three diff erent distances are considered. Five confi gurations are computed for fi ve blowing ratios. A coolant fl ow is injected through holes inclined at 110 and 70o for reverse and forward jets, respectively. The laterally averaged fi lm cooling eff ectiveness is obtained using commercial software ANSYS-CFX. In addition, several velocity vectors and contours are presented for analyzing the thermal behavior. The numerical model is based on the Navier–Stokes equations and the Reynolds stress turbulence model (SSG-RSM). The obtained results enable one to choose confi gurations with high fi lm cooling eff ectiveness for diff erent blowing ratios.

MODELING CORROSION PRODUCT DEPOSITION PROCESSES IN PIPELINES OF HEAT SUPPLY SYSTEMS

A physical description is given of the formation of corrosion product deposits on the surfaces of pipelines of heat supply systems, and an investigation has been made into the eff ects of various factors on this process. An analysis has been made of the existing models of formation of corrosion deposites. A mathematical model has been developed for the formation of corrosion product deposites in the liquid′s motion through pipelines of heat supply systems in the region of linear velocity of the growth of deposits at a constant temperature of the heat transfer agent. The model is based on equations of conservation of the mass of dissolved depolarizer and solid particles suspended in the solution. The parametric calculations performed on the basis of the developed mathematical model have shown a possibility for the existence of a maximum in the thickness of the corrosion product deposit layer through the pipe length.

ANALYTICAL MODEL OF MICROEXPLOSION OF A HYDROCARBON–WATER COMPOSITE DROPLET

An analytical solution of the problem of heating a composite spherical droplet consisting of a liquid hydrocarbon and a microdroplet of water in a hot gas fl ow is presented. A microdroplet of water is located in the center of a droplet of hydrocarbon. At the hydrocarbon–water interface, the conjugation conditions are specifi ed; at the outer boundary of the hydrocarbon droplet — a condition of convective heat exchange. The unsteady temperature of a drop is represented by an analytical formula, which is an expansion of the solution in terms of eigenfunctions of the Sturm–Liouville problem. The eigenvalues are found numerically from the characteristic equation. A condition for the orthogonality of eigenfunctios in a composite droplet with discontinuous thermophysical properties is derived. The results of calculations using the obtained analytical formula are in satisfactory agreement with the experimental data. Erroneous methods are discussed in previously presented publications by other authors.

EXACT SOLUTIONS TO SOME THERMOKARST MODELING PROBLEMS

Exact solutions have been constructed for some problems on thawing frozen soil in the process of water seeping into it as a result of the melting of underground ice and the associated violation of the mechanical integrity of the soil (thermokarst). Factors of thermokarst in frozen soil, determined by the specifi cs of heat and mass transfer in it, have been identifi ed. The infl uence of the porosity of rocks, which changes during their melting, on the course of the thermokarst formation as a whole has been studied. An analytical solution to the problem of thermokarst is constructed. An expression was obtained for the rate of thermokarst formation in frozen soil.

ONE-DIMENSIONAL MODEL FOR CALCULATING A NANOAEROSOL FLOW IN A CONTINUOUS REACTOR IN THE PRESENCE OF DIFFUSION AND COAGULATION OF PARTICLES

The infl uence of the deposition of nanoparticles of an aerosol, moving in a continuous reactor at a constant velocity, on the channel walls of the reactor and of the coagulation of these particles as a result of their Brownian diff usion on the nanoaerosol parameters was investigated. A simple one-dimensional model, adequately defi ning the diff usion, coagulation, and deposition of nanoaerosol particles in a wide range of change in its Knudsen number, has been constructed. It is shown analytically that, as the distance from the inlet of the reactor increases, the volume fraction of particles in the nanoaerosol decreases by the exponential law, and the radius of the clusters formed in the nanoaerosol as a result of the coagulation of its particles increases and tends to a limiting (maximum) value. A nonlinear integro-diff erential equation for the radius of such clusters has been obtained, and, from it, compact formulas for approximate calculation of its limiting radius have been derived. The characteristic distributions of the radii of clusters and of their concentrations along the reactor channel, calculated by the numerical method, are presented. It was established that, if this channel has a fairly large length, the clusters moving in it increase to their limiting size. The infl uence of the determining parameters of the fl ow of a nanoaerosol at the inlet to the continuous reactor on the distribution of its dispersion characteristics along the reactor channel, on the limiting size of the clysters in it, and on the characteristic length of the channel, at which the processes of deposition and coagulation of nanoaerosol particles are completed, is discussed. A comparison of the results of calculations of the parameters of a nanoaerosol moving in a continuous reactor by the one- and two-dimensional models has shown that the simple one-dimensional model defi nes the behavior of these parameters quite adequately.

MASS CONDUCTIVITY IN DRYING CAPILLARY-POROUS COLLOIDAL MATERIAL SUSCEPTIBLE TO SHRINKAGE

The mass transfer (diff usion) properties of a colloidal capillary-porous material (pears cut into plates 5 mm thick for convective drying) as a function of the moisture content of the material at diff erent temperatures of the drying agent (air) were studied experimentally. Since the pear sample shrinks signifi cantly during drying, the change in sample thickness during the process was taken into account when calculating the mass conductivity coeffi cient. At the same time, the linear shrinkage of the specifi ed material was studied. The dependences of the mass conductivity coeffi cient on the moisture content of the material k = f(u) were obtained from drying curves based on the zonal method at a constant temperature of the drying agent tdr. They represent dependences concave to the abscissa axis that increase with moisture content, which is typical of dried materials. The minimum values of the mass conductivity coeffi cient on the graphs k = f(u) vary from 0.3∙10–10 m2 /s at 30o C to 2.2∙10–10 m2 /s at 60o C. With a change in the moisture content of the material, the mass conductivity coeffi cient changes multiply. The shrinkage data for engineering calculations was described by equation. The possibility of describing the temperature dependence of the mass conductivity coeffi cient (moisture diff usion) by Arrhenius equation is shown. The values of the Arrhenius equation parameters are obtained.

QUASI-DIFFUSION SEPARATION ACTIVATION OF SHEAR DEFORMATIONS IN A FAST GRAVITATIONAL GRANULAR MATERIAL FLOW

The paper presents the results of a study of the eff ects of separation of spherical particles with diff erent densities in a fast gravitational fl ow on a rough slope with varying fl ow parameters in order to increase the effi ciency of the process. The determining role of the eff ect of quasi-diff usion separation in the process has been established, the intensive manifestation of which is facilitated by the formation of s-shaped profi les of the fraction of voids and velocity in the fl ow. The results of an experimental and analytical study of the effi ciency of particle separation by density in a fast gravitational fl ow when shear deformations are activated by longitudinal pulses are presented. It has been established that when particles are exposed to the pulse eff ect from the open surface of the fl ow, its central part develops a zone with a typical s-shaped infl ection in the velocity profi le and void fraction, which functions like a quasi-diff usion separator that increases the effi ciency of the process.

KINETIC CALCULATION OF A CONTINUOUS-ACTION TRAY-TYPE FLUIDIZED-BED DRYER

To carry out a continuous process of drying a dispersed material, tray-type dryers have come into use, which are characterized by an improved hydrodynamic structure of the solid phase fl ow. The article presents a mathematical description of the kinetics of drying a material based on a theoretical method that uses data on the thermophysical characteristics of the material and takes into account longitudinal mixing of the solid phase based on a diff usion model. An analytical solution to the corresponding problem was obtained, which expresses the change in the moisture content of particles along the length of the tray. A technique for engineering calculation of the dryer based on this model has been developed. An example of calculating a dryer of the type under consideration for drying corn grain is given using literature data on the mass conductivity coeffi cient (moisture diff usion coeffi cient in grain), phase concentration equilibrium, and longitudinal diff usion coeffi cient. The infl uence of sectioning partitions on the kinetics of drying a dispersed material in a tray-type apparatus was analyzed. It is shown that they signifi cantly improve the hydrodynamic structure of the fl ow, which reduces the length of the tray.

INFLUENCE OF THE SURFACE TENSION OF A LIQUID ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CONE OF ITS SPRAYING BY AN EJECTION ATOMIZER

Novel experimental data have been presented on the infl uence of the surface tension of a liquid on the dispersity of droplets in the spray cone of an ejection atomizer with forward and swirling gas feeds. The droplet-size distributions were measured with the optical method of small angles of the indicatrix of scattering. A decrease of nearly 10–17% in the median diameter of droplets of distilled water in the spray cone has been demonstrated with reduction in the coeffi cient of surface tension of water as a result of adding surfactants to it.

MATHEMATICAL SIMULATION OF THE FLOW OF A NON-NEWTONIAN TWO-PHASE MEDIUM IN A CHANNEL OF COMPLEX GEOMETRY

A mathematical model of the fl ow of a two-phase medium, whose state is defi ned by the nonlinear rheological equation, in a curvilinear channel of parabolic shape has been constructed. Numerical calculations of the fl ow of such a medium in this channel were performed with regard for the existence of its initial region and a centrifugal force in the channel. A computational experiment has been conducted, and, on its basis, diff erent regimes of fl ow of a liquid in the indicated channel were investigated depending on the rheological properties of the liquid, governed by the Ostwald–de Waele law of state, and on the hydrodynamic situation in this channel. The numerical calculations have shown that, in the process of development of a liquid fl ow in the channel, in its initial region, the plane velocity profi le of the fl ow is transformed into the parabolic one. In this case, the fl ow near the wall of the channel is decelerated, and the fl ow in the central region of the channel is, vice versa, accelerated. Because of this, in the initial region of the fl ow, its lines and the velocity fi elds on them have bends. The nonlinearity coeffi cient of a liquid substantially infl uences the shape of the velocity profi le of its fl ow. In the case of rotation of the channel around its symmetry axis, the velocity profi le of the liquid fl ow in it becomes asymmetrical.

SYNTHESIS OF CHROMIUM DIBORIDE IN AN ARC-DISCHARGE ATMOSPHERIC PLASMA

The authors have described a method for synthesis of the crystalline phases of chromium boride CrB and CrB2 at atmospheric pressure without introducing additional modifi ers improving the reactivity of the original charge. The formation of chromium borides was implemented under the action of an arc discharge with the original vacuumfree dc electric-arc reactor. The infl uence of the parameters of the reactor on the phase composition of the obtained samples has been investigated. It has been established that the impact of an arch discharge of strength 200 A and duration 60 s on a mixture of Cr and B powders in a 1.0:2.55 atomic ratio ensures the formation of chromium diboride CrB2. The properties of the obtained powders have been studied by the methods of x-ray diff raction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy.

LIQUID FLOW IN PRISMATIC CHANNELS RESTING ON A PARABOLIC CONTOUR

A set of exact solutions is suggested for the Poisson equation in a plane region of a certain form for describing a fl ow of Newtonian incompressible liquid in a channel at low Reynolds numbers. The motion of an ideal liquid in a region bounded by a rotating contour, torsion of a rod, defl ection of a membrane at zero displacement on the boundary of its region, and heating of a rod under certain conditions are equivalent to a mathematically formulated problem of such a fl ow. A possibility is demonstrated to construct approximate solutions to the said problem for certain sections of a channel, having a parabolic segment of the contour, using exact solutions to this problem. Examples are given for the construction of fl ow regions in a prismatic channel resting on a parabolic contour

CORRELATION OF LOCAL FLOW ACCELERATION IN A NARROW CHANNEL AND ANOMALOUS INTENSIFICATION OF SEPARATED LAMINAR FLOW IN TWO-ROW GROOVES ON ITS WALL

The phenomenon of local acceleration of laminar fl ow at the experimental stand of the Kazan Scientifi c Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences was substantiated by comparing the numerical predictions obtained on a digital analog with the profi les of the longitudinal velocity component measured at Re = 1000 at three points of the 22nd inclined groove in a narrow channel with 26 two-row grooves arranged in the form of \ / on the wall. A connection has been established between the local acceleration of the fl ow in the channel core and anomalous intensifi cation of separated laminar fl ow in two-row grooves on increase in the Reynolds number from 1000 to 2500. It has been found that at Re = 2500 for grooves remote from the entrance in the longitudinal section of the channel passing through the centers of the connecting sections of input spherical segments and trench parts, the negative relative friction reaches minimum values of the order of –9 and is combined with the achievement of maximum velocity values in the shear layers above the grooves (at a height of y = 0.005) of the order of 1.4.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF FLOW NEAR A HYDROPHOBIC CYLINDER AT HIGH REYNOLDS NUMBERS

An experimental study of vortex structures in the near wake behind a circular microstructured Tefl on cylinder immersed in an oncoming water fl ow was carried out for Reynolds numbers 1.75·105 –2.85·105 using two-dimensional imaging (2D-PIV) of particles in a closed hydrodynamic stand. The results obtained are presented in the form of time-averaged velocity fi elds of fl ow and Reynolds stresses in it. Flow data showed changes in the geometric characteristics and Reynolds stresses of the wake fl ow depending on the Reynolds number in such a way that the studied parameters pass through a minimum in the region of Reynolds number 2.2·105 with subsequent increase. This minimum of wake characteristics is likely to be associated with a crisis in the resistance of the cylinder, but earlier in comparison with a cylinder with a nonhydrophobic surface. A signifi cant increase in the velocity of water fl ow near the side surface of the hydrophobic cylinder was revealed, which at high Reynolds numbers leads to a drop in the static pressure in the fl ow below atmospheric pressure, an increase in the local gas content in it, and to a possible increase in fl ow slip on the cylinder surface.

EFFECTS OF THE COMPOSITION OF JET FLOW COMPONENTS ON THE DYNAMICS OF PROPAGATION AND HYDRATE FORMATION FOR DEEPWATER SPILLS

Consideration is given to a mathematical model for the formation of hydrates in a jet fl ow of hydrocarbons for two initial stages (submerged jet and plume). The purpose of the mathematical modeling is to investigate the eff ects of various compositions of jet fl ow components on the dynamics of hydrate formation. The object of investigation is a jet fl ow of hydrocarbons occurring in technogenic spills. The current importance of this investigation is associated with the need to predict the dynamics of oil and gas propagation for cases of technogenic accidents in deepwater development of deposits. A mathematical model has been created for a jet fl ow for two initial stages with account for the infl uence of the composition of the fl ow components. Computational experiments have been carried out for various initial values of pressure and oil volume content in the jet with a view to assessing the dynamics of gas hydrate formation in oil emulsion. The results of the mathematical modeling included the following dependences obtained for various versions of the composition of jet fl ow components: dependence of the temperature and mass of the newly formed hydrate on the vertical coordinate and the dynamics of variation in the radius of the hydration shell in bubbles. As a result of comparison of the results of a laboratory experiment with the results of mathematical modeling a high-quality agreement has been obtained.

WAVE DYNAMICS OF A GAS BUBBLE COATED WITH A HYPERELASTIC SHELL IN A VISCOELASTIC LIQUID

A modifi ed Rayleigh–Lamb equation has been derived which takes account of the radial oscillations of a gas bubble coated with a hyperelastic shell and found in a viscoelastic liquid. The hyperelasticity of the shell is taken account of on the basis of the Mooney–Rivlin model, and the viscoelasticity of the liquid, according to the Zener model in whose particular cases the Kelvin–Voigt and Maxwell models are followed. Numerical calculations have been carried out. An analysis has been made of the infl uence of the dimension of the bubble′s shell and its rigidity, the shear modulus of the shell and the carrier liquid, and also the diff erence in rheological models on the radial dynamics of the gas bubble in the external acoustic fi eld. A mathematical model has been constructed which determines the propagation of acoustic waves in the viscoelastic liquid with encapsulated gas bubbles. A study has been made of the diff erence in rheological models of the elastic carrier liquid, and also of the infl uence of the shell thickness on the dynamics of acoustic waves.

OPTIMIZATION OF PARAMETERS OF A HYDRO-STEAM TURBINE

Consideration has been given to the specifi c features of the work process of a hydro-steam turbine operating on the principle of Segner′s wheel. A method has been suggested for the organization of entry into the turbine channels that ensures minimum hydraulic losses. It has been shown that losses due to the friction of the rotor wheel rotating in a steam-water medium have a number of specifi c features that do not allow their reliable calculation assessment at present. At the same time, some maximum estimates have shown that these losses can be quite signifi cant in the turbine′s total energy balance and force one to pay serious attention to the aerodynamic properties of the periphery zone of the turbine rotor wheel. It has been established that the diversion of the nozzle axes′ direction from the direction of the circumferential velocity of motion of the center of the nozzles' outlet cross section with a view to preventing structure elements from getting into their jets results in a drop of the turbine capacity, which brings about the need for seeking a compromise solution in selecting the angle of this deviation. The calculation assessment of the optimum ratio of the circumferential velocity of motion of the nozzle outlet section to its fi ctitious velocity corresponding to the available heat drop in a hydro-steam turbine has shown that it lies within 0.32–0.37, depending on the nozzle velocity coeffi cient, and the fl at pattern of the said dependence provides certain freedom to the designer in selecting the turbine design dimensions.

MODELING THE CHARACTERISTICS DURING THE FLOW OF A SUBCOOLED LIQUID OUT OF GEOMETRICALLY SIMILAR LAVAL NOZZLES

To design hydrosteam turbines of the Segner-wheel type, it is necessary to have reliable characteristics of a Laval nozzle with a large expansion ratio when water strongly subcooled to a saturation temperature is fed to the nozzle. The authors have given a review of a number of works on determining the fl ow-rate coeffi cient μ and the coeffi cient of velocity ϕ when water subcooled to a saturation temperature fl ows out of Laval nozzles. The complexity of the process of outfl ow of a steam–water mixture has been noted, which is dependent on the relation of the temperature and pressure at entry into the nozzle, pressure behind the nozzle and the nozzle expansion ratio, and the confi guration of the entrance region. Experimental data have been given on blowdowns of geometrically similar nozzles with measuring the jet thrust and determining the fl ow-rate and velocity coeffi cients. It has been shown that the linear dimensions of the nozzle throat do not infl uence μ when a constant relation of the length of the throat to its diameter is observed. The velocity coeffi cient during the outfl ow of a boiling liquid depends on the linear dimensions of the expanding section of the nozzle, i.e., testing of geometrically similar nozzles do not ensure a correct determination of . It has been shown that the nozzles' effi ciency must be compared in the design regime when the pressure on the exit section is equal to the pressure in the chamber where the steam–water mixture fl ows. Analysis results will be useful for calculating and designing a reaction hydrosteam turbine.

DISCHARGE FROM THE CYLINDER OF A PISTON ENGINE

Consideration is given to problems of calculating the exhaust from the engine cylinder through a "valve–valve pipe" system at all fl ow modes. It has been shown that there is a need to determine the exhaust parameters precisely in the cross section of the valve pipe outlet and also to clarify the moment of blocking the fl ow in the valve and at the valve pipe outlet. Based on the idea of analogy with a sudden expansion of the passage section of a conditional channel, relations have been obtained for determining the fl ow coeffi cient of the valve system. The results of calculations using these relations are in good agreement with the results of blowdowns of the valve system of a real engine. To simplify fl ow calculations and visualize the fl ow modes in the system using the criteria of the similarity theory and gas-dynamic functions, a method has been developed for constructing a universal two-parameter gas-dynamic characteristic (map) of a valve system similar to maps of compressors and turbines. In this case, the values of fl ow coeffi cients in all the modes represented by the maps will be almost the same for systems of various scale and having identical parameters of geometric expansion.

PASSIVE CONTROL OF THE FLOW AROUND A CYLINDER BY USING GEOMETRIC MODIFICATIONS

The present study is aimed at reducing the drag loads on cylinders by using a passive control technique which consists in shape modifi cation for streamlined and bluff bodies, particularly those used in aeronautics. Various shapes of elliptic and ovate-elliptic cross sections were tested with studying the eff ect of geometric parameters, namely, the radius ratio and axial ratio. The fl ow around the proposed geometries was studied numerically using k–ε, k–ω, and Spalart–Allmaras turbulence models at the Reynolds numbers from 104 to 2.4∙104 . The results obtained were compared with those for a circular cylinder of constant radius, showing a signifi cant weakening of aerodynamic forces acting on the cylinder with modifi ed shapes, especially at high Reynolds numbers, for both elliptic and ovateelliptic geometries with a better performance for the latter

ON THE ORGANIZATION OF BURNING IN A HIGH-VELOCITY FLOW WITH A DOUBLE-BELT SUPPLY OF FUEL

The burning in a two-section channel with an abrupt enlargement of its cross section in the process of doublebelt supply of diff erent-type gaseous fuels into it at a Mach number of the fuel fl ow M = 2.2 and at its stagnation temperature of 1700 K was numerically investigated. For the ignition of a hydrocarbon fuel fed into the channel along its axis (the fi rst supply belt) and for the formation of a transonic regime of burning of the fuel, it was subjected to a gasdynamic pulse action, and, after this action was terminated, for the maintenance of the burning regime, the second belt of supply of a fuel (hydrogen or a hydrocarbon fuel) into the channel and the side supply of an air jet into it were organized. The Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations were solved with the use of the k–ε model of turbulence. The burning of a fuel in the channel was simulated by gross reactions. It was established that the use of hydrogen as a fuel in the second supply belt makes it possible to maintain the transonic burning regime in the channel. In this case, the side air jet breaks the shock-wave formation in the second section of the channel and, in so doing, provides a high-velocity homogeneous fuel fl ow in it.

STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OF EDGE EFFECTS DURING FUEL COMBUSTION IN A CLOSED VOLUME

An experimental study of the combustion of model pasty fuel in a constant volume (a manometric bomb) is presented. The defi nition of the combustion law of model pasty fuel is given, and the infl uence of edge eff ects on the fuel combustion surface due to the use of the container with the fuel and the central insert is considered. The possibility of increasing the combustion surface of paste-like fuel by creating longitudinal cylindrical channels in the sample under study using perforated plastic inserts was also investigated.

INTEGRAL METHOD WITH THE ADOMIAN DECOMPOSITION: APPROXIMATE SOLUTION OF THE LIOUVILLE–BRATU–GELFAND PROBLEM FOR A CYLINDRICAL SPACE

A method of solving singular boundary-value problems on the basis of the combined use of the Adomian decomposition method and a special integral relation is presented. This method was used to advantage for approximate analytical solution of the problem on the thermal explosion in a cylindrical space, defi ned by the diff erential Liouville–Bratu– Gelfand equation with a Dirichlet boundary condition, and the numerical results of this solution have demonstrated the high effi ciency of the indicated method. The errors of the approximate solutions obtained with it are smaller by as a minimum an order of magnitude than the errors of the solutions obtained on the basis of the classical Adomian decomposition method and other its related methods.

SPECIFIC HEAT OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS AND POLARIZATION EFFECT

Literature data have been considered from the viewpoint of the infl uence of substituents on the mole specifi c heats Cp at constant pressure for 14 series of organic compounds. Using the correlation-analysis method, it has been shown for the fi rst time that experimental and calculated Cp values depend not only on the inductive, resonance, and steric infl uence, but also on the polarization eff ect of variable substituents associated with a constant reactive center. In individual cases the polarization eff ect has the most signifi cant impact on Cp

EFFECTS OF HIGH-INTENSITY ACOUSTIC WAVES ON THE HYDROGEN VALUE OF WATER

An experimental investigation has been made into the eff ects of a high-intensity impact on the pH value and temperature of water. Water pH and temperature dynamics has been determined at various regimes of acoustic impact on the specimens. Acoustic impact regimes have been established at which there is a maximum rise in the pH value and a drop in temperature. The dependence of the heat transfer rate on the intensity of acoustic vibrations has been defi ned. A comparison has been made of the obtained experimental results on variation of water pH in cooling with a known dependence. The results obtained in this investigation have been compared with experimental data of other authors who have investigated the behavior of water pH in ultrasonic, laser, electromagnetic, and mechanical impacts

EMISSIVITY OF METALS OF THE SECOND GROUP OF THE PERIODIC TABLE

Results of investigating the emissivity of metals of group II of the Periodic Table in the interval of temperatures "solid body–liquid" have been presented. Selection of the objects of investigation, i.e., metallic beryllium, magnesium, and calcium, has been argued by the absence, in practice, of data on the emissivity of these elements in a broad temperature range from periodic and reference literature. The measurement method was radiative, and the technique of heating of a metal specimen, resistive. A structure of a cylindrical model of an ideal black body with an emissivity factor no lower than 0.99 has been presented. The material of the equilibrium-radiation source was metallic tantalum. The estimate of experimental uncertainty amounted to 5–8%. Graphic illustrations of experimental results on each investigated element have been presented. The obtained complex experimental data on normal integral emissivity within the limits of each phase of state of the metals grew monotonically. In the region of phase transition of the fi rst kind, the characteristic abrupt change in the emissivity of the metals was observed. Investigation results have been discussed and compared with the literature data of other authors. A theoretical calculation of the emissivity of these metals from the classical electromagnetic theory has been carried out with the Foot approximation. The conclusion has been drawn on the disagreement between the theoretical calculations on emissivity and the experimental data.

MODELING UNSTEADY THERMOMECHANODIFFUSION VIBRATIONS OF A HINGEDLY SUPPORTED TIMOSHENKO BEAM

The work is devoted to investigating the infl uence of the mechanical fi eld on temperature and diff usion processes occurring under steady bending of slender beams. The model used here takes account of the fi nite velocity of propagation of thermal and diff usion disturbances . A mathematical formulation of the problem includes the system of equations of unsteady fl exural vibrations of the beam with account of heat and mass transfer, that has been obtained from the general thermomechanodiff usion model for continuous media using the generalized principle of virtual displacements. With the example of a hingedly supported three-component beam fabricated from a zinc, copper, and aluminum alloy and exposed to unsteady bending moments, the authors have investigated the interaction of mechanical, temperature, and diff usion fi elds, and also have analyzed the infl uence of relaxation eff ects on the kinetics of heat and mass transfer
