SIMULATION OF THE FLAME PROPAGATION IN A METHANE–AIR MIXTURE IN THE PRESENCE OF WATER AEROSOL

We have formulated a physicomathematical model of the fl ame propagation in a combustible gas containing water aerosol based on the thermal-diffusion model of the laminar fl ame propagation in a gas and taking into account the processes of heat and mass transfer between the phase and liquid drops. Computational-theoretical studies of the infl uence of water aerosol characteristics on the fl ame velocity in a lean methane–air mixture have been made. Comparison of the results of calculations with experimental data has shown that there is good agreement between them. Comparison of the effi ciency of using water aerosol and inert gas to stop the spread of fi re has shown that there exists a limiting size of the dispersed phase above which the effi ciency of using water aerosol and inert powders to stop the spread of fi re becomes equal

A formulation and a numerical solution based on a mathematical model of a porous reactive medium are given to the problem of ignition of a wooden plank by the action of a fi re source. It is found that the ignition of the original reactant is determined by the processes of heat and mass exchange with the fi re source, drying, and pyrolysis (decomposition and synthesis reactions) of a dry plank, by the reaction of oxidation of carbon dioxide, and also by the thermophysical properties of wood.

METHODS TO ELIMINATE THE OVERHEATING OF HIGH-CURRENT ELECTROOPTICAL SYSTEMS

The use of high-current electrooptical systems (EOSs) becomes increasingly topical at present. However, in typical high-current EOSs, intense thermal regimes in the EOS-platform drives often give rise to overheating which may end in the failure of the EOS. It has been shown that such evident measures as blowing and painting of the EOS casing and displacement of the platform drive inside the EOS volume do not cause the temperature regimes to substantially change. Also, it has been shown that the use of a nontraditional antibacklash transmission in the platform drive may lead to a substantial decrease in the overheating inside the EOS casing.

METHOD FOR CALCULATING THE PROCESSES OF MELTING AND SOLIDIFICATION OF HEAT-ACCUMULATING MATERIALS IN FINE CAPSULES

We propose a new method for calculating the processes of melting and solidifi cation of heat-accumulating materials placed inside small-sized elastic capsules of symmetric form. The specifi c feature of the method is the simultaneous solution of the heat conduction equation joined for both phases and the equation for the rate of change in the mass fraction of the new phase in the layer between two neighboring nodes of a stationary computational mesh. The method permits using explicit fi nite-difference schemes for continuous calculations of the nonlinear heat conduction equation without loss of stability at weak and alternating external heat fl ows, as well as in the presence of several phase transition zones in the capsule. The paper presents the results of a test solution of the two-phase Stefan problem for an unbounded plate and the results of calculations for spherical capsules with n-paraffi n in one regenerative convective heat cycle.

NUMERICAL AND ANALYTICAL SIMULATION OF THE STRUCTURE OF A SUPERSONIC GAS FLOW IN A VARIABLE-SECTION CHANNEL WITH POWER SUPPLY

The influence of a periodic supply of power pulses to the gas fl ow in a variable-section channel on the formation of shock structures in this fl ow was investigated. Parameters of the power supply providing different regimes of flow in the indicated channel and criteria of these regimes were determined on the basis of the solution of the problem of a powerful explosion with the use of the similarity theory and the homochronicity number. The results of the numerical simulation of the fl ow in the variable-section channel with power supply in the quasi-one-dimensional approximation and of the fl ows in cylindrical and plane channels were compared. The applicability of the analytical dependences obtained was substantiated by the results of the numerical solution of the quasi-one-dimensional and two-dimensional Euler equations for the fl ow of an ideal gas in the indicated channels.

UNSTEADY RADIATIVE-CONVECTIVE BOUNDARY-LAYER FLOW OF A CASSON FLUID WITH VARIABLE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY

The unsteady two-dimensional flow of a non-Newtonian fl uid over a stretching surface with the effects of thermal radiation and variable thermal conductivity is investigated. The Casson fl uid model is used to characterize the nonNewtonian fl uid behavior. First, using a similarity transformation, the governing time-dependent partial differential equations are transformed into coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations with variable coeffi cients. Then the transformed equations are solved numerically under appropriate boundary conditions by the shooting method. An exact solution corresponding to the momentum equation for a steady case is found. The obtained numerical results are analyzed as to the effect of the pertinent parameters on the fl ow and heat transfer characteristics.

DUAL-PHASE-LAG MODEL OF WAVE PROPAGATION AT THE INTERFACE BETWEEN ELASTIC AND THERMOELASTIC DIFFUSION MEDIA

A dual-phase-lag diffusion model, augmenting the Fick law by the inclusion of the delay times of the mass flow and the potential gradient at the interface between two media into it, is proposed. The effects of refl ection and refraction of plane waves at the interface between an elastic and a thermoelastic diffusion media were investigated with the use of this model. It was established that the ratios between the amplitudes and energies of the waves refl ected and refracted at the interface between the indicated media are determined by the angle of incidence of radiation on this interface, the frequency of the incident wave, and the thermoelastic and diffusion properties of the media. Expressions for the ratios between the energies of different refl ected and refracted waves and the energy of the incident were derived. The variation in these ratios with change in the angle of incidence of radiation on the indicated interface was calculated numerically and represented graphically

DESTRUCTION AND ACCOMPANYING PHENOMENA IN A FERROMAGNETIC Ni2MnGa SINGLE CRYSTAL WITH A SHAPE-MEMORY EFFECT

Features of the shape of a macroscopic interplanar crack have been studied, and phenomena accompanying destruction in a monocrystalline ferromagnetic Ni2MnGa alloy with shape memory have been analyzed. It has been established that the initiation of destruction in Ni2MnGa is actively infl uenced by the processes of slip and interaction of twin boundaries in twin planes which are at small angles to each other, and also by the formation of Rose channels. On the source side of the surface at which the crack has nucleated, it is tooth-shaped. On this surface, there are signs of rotation of the crystal lattice from twins with boundaries parallel and perpendicular to the crack′s edges. The opening of the crack in its boundary regions leads to partial untwining

A method of experimental investigation of the dynamics of spreading of a spherical drop of a viscous liquid over a horizontal solid surface at a small velocity of collision of the drop with the surface is proposed, and results of such an investigation are presented. A typical pattern of spreading of a liquid drop over a solid surface has been obtained and the quantitative characteristics of this process depending on the viscosity of the liquid were determined. The experimental data on spreading of drops of different liquids over a horizontal solid surface were analyzed by the dynamic wetting angle of these drops, and the results obtained were compared with the analogous data obtained in other works.

DETERMINATION OF THE MOISTURE-SORPTION ISOTHERMS AND ISOSTERIC HEAT OF HENNA LEAVES

Equilibrium moisture desorption and adsorption isotherms of Lawsonia inermis L. (commonly known as henna)
leaves at temperatures of 30, 40 and 50<sup>o</sup> C with a water activity ranging from 0.057 to 0.898 were obtained by the
gravimetric-static method. It was established that when the temperature of these leaves increases, their moisture content increases too with a hysteresis effect. The experimental data on the sorption of the indicated leaves were compared with the corresponding calculation data obtained with the use of the GAB, modifi ed BET, Henderson–Thompson, modifi ed Halsey, modifi ed Oswin, and Peleg models. Evaluation of these models on the basis of statistical processing of the data obtained with them, including the calculus of the standard error and the correlation
coeffi cient, has shown that the GAB and Peleg models represent sorption curves more adequately. The net isosteric
heats of desorption and adsorption of henna leaves were determined by the sorption isotherms constructed using the
Clausius–Clapeyron equation. An expression for predicting these thermodynamic properties of plants is proposed.

DESIGN OF A GAS–LIQUID UNBAFFLED STIRRED TANK WITH A CONCAVE BLADE IMPELLER

Experimental investigation of unbaffl ed multiphase (gas–liquid) stirred tanks is conducted with the use of a concave blade impeller to analyze mass transfer, gassed power, and gas holdup. The experiments are carried out with various impeller diameter to tank diameter ratios and impeller clearances. The design criterion for the mass transfer rate is proposed, and its prediction capability is found to be satisfactory. The results show that the gassed power is dependent on the impeller diameter to tank diameter ratio and impeller clearance. The design criteria for gassed power to ungassed power ratio and gas holdup are also introduced. Multiphase modeling is done by employing the computational fl uid dynamics (CFD) techniques to observe the characteristic fl ow pattern transition and to carry out a qualitative analysis of the mass transfer rate.

SIMULATING THE COMBUSTION OF N POWDER WITH ADDED FINELY DIVIDED ALUMINUM

A mathematical model for combustion of N powder with added aluminum particles is presented. It takes account of the exothermal chemical reaction in the gas phase, convection and diffusion, heating, and combustion of aluminum particles in the gas fl ow, the motion of combustion products, and the lag of the particle velocity behind that of the gas. The results of calculation of the burning velocity of powder correspond to the experimental data on the dependence of this velocity on pressure and aluminum particle size. It has been established computationally that for aluminum particles of diameter less than 20 μm the burning velocity of N powder depends substantially on the size of these particles.
