INVESTIGATION OF THE STATE OF WATER IN ENERGY TREES IN THE PROCESS OF DRYING BY DIFFERENTIAL SCANNING CALORIMETRY

This paper presents the results of investigation of the state of water in young sprouts of energy trees (willow, poplar, and alder) in the process of drying to the limiting moisture content by differential scanning calorimetry. The content of freezing (free) and nonfreezing (bound) water in samples with various moisture contents has been determined. It has been shown that the specifi c content of bound water (referred to dry substance) Wb.w in the above trees in the process of their drying in the range from natural moisture to the limiting moisture content is not a constant quantity. In these trees in the state of natural moisture the Wb.w value exceeds their hygroscopicity limit, and in the process of dehydration the Wb.w value decreases. For instance, Wb.w varies from 0.419 to 0.254 g/g of dry substance for poplar, from 0.425 to 0.248 g/g of dry substance for willow, and from 0.354 g/g of dry substance for alder.

FEATURES OF THE DECOMPOSITION OF GAS HYDRATES WITH THE FORMATION OF ICE IN A POROUS MEDIUM

We have investigated the features of the decomposition of gas hydrates into the gas and ice in the process of gas extraction from a porous medium saturated with the gas and the gas hydrate in the initial state. We have obtained selfsimilar solutions of this problem in an axisymmetric formulation describing the distributions of the main parameters in the stratum upon decomposition of the gas hydrate in an extended region. Critical diagrams of existence of the above solution have been constructed. It has been shown that in the case of a negative temperature of the stratum in the initial state (T0 < 273.15 K), the gas hydrate will always decompose into the gas and ice. At a positive initial temperature of the stratum (T0 > 273.15 K), the gas hydrate can decompose depending on the initial parameters of the system and the intensity of extraction of the gas with the formation of both water and ice.

MATHEMATICAL SIMULATION OF THE TRANSPORT OF SALT IN THE CASE OF FILTRATION AND MOISTURE TRANSFER IN SATURATED–UNSATURATED SOILS IN A MOISTENING REGIME

Mathematical simulation of the process of the transport of salts by fi ltering a salt solution and by moisture transfer at the action of horizontal systematic drainage in a moistening regime has been made. Based on the developed computational algorithm, a numerical solution of the boundary-value problem of plane-vertical force-free stationary fi ltration of a salt solution to horizontal systematic drainage in the presence of a free surface of ground water in the region of a saturated–unsaturated soil has been obtained. The processes of fi ltration of a salt solution during the action of drainage in the region of complete saturation and moisture transfer and in the region of incomplete saturation are investigated with account for the transport of salts in corresponding subregions.

INFLUENCE OF VIBROWAVE ACTION ON THE CHARACTER OF PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION IN A PERMEABILITY-INHOMOGENEOUS BED

Based on theoretical investigations, the infl uence of different kinds of generator-produced elastic waves on the character of change in the bottomhole pressure has been studied with account for the bed deformability. An analytical expression has been obtained allowing one to determine the dynamics and depth of elastic wave propagation in the bed with account for the bed collector deformation. It is shown that the degree of attenuation of elastic waves in deformable collectors increases considerably as against undeformable ones.

ANALYSIS OF THE REGION OF VALIDITY OF EQUATIONS FOR CALCULATING HEAT EXCHANGERS OF THE TUBE-IN-TUBE TYPE

Based on the traditional model with direct fl ow and counterfl ow of heat transfer agents in a stationary regime, the operation of a heat exchanger of the tube-in-tube type is analyzed. Account is taken of the natural limitations for the model that are connected with the possibility of practical realization of the similarity numbers involved in the equations of the model, as well as with the conditions (assumptions) invoked in the derivation of the model. A comparison of the effi ciency of heat transfer in the noted regimes of heat transfer agent motions is made. For the purposes of this comparison, it is proposed to use an averaged value of the function that represents the ratio of effi ciencies with heat transfer agent direct fl ow and counterfl ow over the region of possible values of similarity numbers. The necessary calculations and illustrations are presented.

NONSTATIONARY AXISYMMETRIC TEMPERATURE FIELD IN A TWO-LAYER SLAB UNDER MIXED HEATING CONDITIONS

With the use of the Laguerre and Hankel integral transforms, the solution of a two-dimensional initial-boundary-value heat conduction problem for a two-layer slab under mixed boundary conditions is constructed: one of the surfaces is heated by a heat fl ux distributed axisymmetrically in a circle of radius R and is cooled by the Newton law outside this circle. The solution of the problem is reduced to a sequence of infi nite quasi-regular systems of algebraic equations. The results of numerical analysis of the temperature fi eld in the two-layer slab made from an aluminum alloy and ceramics are presented depending on the relative geometric properties of the components and cooling intensity.

EVAPORATION OF WATER IN THE PROCESS OF MOVEMENT OF ITS LARGE MASSES THROUGH A HIGH-TEMPERATURE GAS MEDIUM

A numerical investigation of the heat transfer in large monolithic water masses and water masses with different spaces fi lled with water vapor and gases, moving through high-temperature gases at temperatures higher than 1000 K under the conditions of phase transformations, has been performed.

TEMPERATURE CORRECTION IN PROBE MEASUREMENTS

This work is devoted to experimental investigations of a decaying plasma using Langmuir probes. The gas pressure, the discharge current, and the moment of afterglow were selected to obtain probe characteristics in collisionless, intermediate, and drifting regimes of motion of charged particles. The manner in which the shape of the volt–ampere characteristics changes on passage from the collisionless motion to diffusion motion has been shown. A detailed analysis has been made of the source of errors arising when orbital-motion formulas or the logarithmic-operation method are applied to processing of the probe curves. It has been shown that neglect of collisions of charged particles in the probe layer leads to an ion-density value overstated more than three times, an electron-temperature value overstated two times, and an ion temperature overstated three to nine times. A model of interaction of charged particles in the probe layer has been proposed for correction of the procedure of determining temperature. Such an approach makes it possible to determine the space-charge layer in the probe, and also the value of the self-consistent fi eld. The use of the developed procedures gives good agreement between experimental and theoretical results

NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE VENTILATION PROCESSES IN A CLOSED SPACE IN THE PRESENCE OF PEOPLE AND HEAT SOURCES

The fl ow of a viscous gas in a model section of a closed ventilated space, in which people and objects radiating heat are found, was investigated with the use of numerical-simulation methods. A numerical algorithm developed on the basis of the program package VP2/3 was used for simulation of a nonisothermal turbulent fl ow of a viscous gas in the indicated space. In the process of simulation of this nonstationary gas fl ow, the Reynolds equations closed with the use of the differential k–ω model of turbulence in the SST modifi cation of Menter were solved. The effi ciency of the mathematical model and the numerical algorithm used in the calculations was verifi ed by comparison of their results with experimental data.

SUPERSONIC FLOWS IN CHANNELS AND JETS WHEN APPLIED TO THE PROBLEMS OF DESIGNING AERODYNAMIC WINDOWS OF GAS LASERS

Consideration is given to issues associated with the development of aids for mathematical modeling of steadystate supersonic perfect compressible gas flows in aerodynamic windows of gas lasers. A comparison is made of fl ow patterns in supersonic jets, which appear when a uniform velocity distribution and a velocity distribution corresponding to the free vortex are realized on the nozzle section. Aids for designing channels are developed on the basis of solution of a sequence of primal problems. The calculation results show the high effi ciency of the developed software as applied to solution of problems associated with the contouring of channels and nozzles and with the control over supersonic jet fl ows.

ON TRANSFORMATIONS OF THE VELOCITY HODOGRAPH IN CERTAIN PROBLEMS OF FLUID MECHANICS

Consideration is given to the fl ow-velocity hodograph representing a circular hexagon in polar grids with two cuts, which is used in the theory of jets and cavitation, gliding theory, gas dynamics, the theory of groundwater motion, and fi ltration theory. It has been shown that in recording the parameter characterizing the ratio of the radii of circles, which are the opposite polygon sides with cuts, the confi guration and relative position of the latter substantially change not so much with the properties of the functions on whose basis particular solutions of the corresponding Fuchsian-type equation are constructed, as with the ranges of conformal-mapping constants involved in the expressions for mapping functions. It has been established that to different ranges of variation in these constants there can correspond cuts varying in confi guration and relative position. This is a manifestation of the transformation of liquid and gas fi ltration fl ows under the infl uence of different physical factors.

INFLUENCE OF THE EXTERNAL FORCE ON THE VORTEX–SOURCE COMBINATION CRISIS

This paper considers the force stagnation of a supersonic vortex–source combination fl owing out into a vacuum, leading to a decrease in the radial Mach number to unity and stationary fl ow choking. The similarity parameters infl uencing the crisis are analyzed. It has been shown that the ″force″ crisis (choking) is also possible for the vortexsink combination fl owing out of a submerged space. The formulation of the thermal crisis problem is generalized to the case of a given external force per unit mass and in a unit volume. Comparison has been made between certain characteristics of the crisis due to the applied external force in the absence of power supply/removal and the characteristics of the crisis due to the heat input in the absence of external force. The investigation has been carried out from the viewpoint of the perfect gas model.

FREE CONVECTION FLOW PAST A VERTICAL CONE WITH A CHEMICAL REACTION IN THE PRESENCE OF TRANSVERSE MAGNETIC FIELD

Natural convective heat and mass transfer over an isothermal vertical cone due to the simultaneous action of buoyancy, chemical reaction, and transverse magnetic fi eld is studied. The governing boundary-layer equations are transformed into a dimensionless form, and then the resulting unsteady nonlinear coupled partial differential equations are solved by using an effi cient, more accurate, and unconditionally stable implicit fi nite difference scheme of the Crank–Nicolson type. A parametric study is performed to illustrate the effect of the buoyancy ratio parameter, Prandtl number, Schmidt number, chemical reaction parameter, and the magnetic fi eld parameter on the velocity, temperature, and concentration profi les. The local and average characteristics: shear stresses, heat transfer coeffi cients, and mass transfer coeffi cients, are obtained numerically. The numerical results reveal that the velocity decreases in the case of a destructive reaction, whereas it increases for a generative reaction.

THERMOELASTIC WAVES WITH THERMAL DIFFUSION IN AN ISOTROPIC MICROPOLAR PLATE

The generalized theory of thermodiffusion is applied to study the propagation of plane harmonic waves in an infi nitely long isotropic micropolar plate. The present analysis also includes both the thermal and mass diffusive relaxation times, as well as the coupling of the thermal diffusion with microrotation of the material. To determine the effect of the presence of thermal as well as mass diffusion on the phase velocity of the wave propagation, two potential functions are used, and more general dispersive relations are obtained for symmetric and antisymmetric modes. The results for the cases of thermoelasticity, micropolar thermoelasticity, and thermodiffusive elasticity are derived. The changes in the phase velocity, attenuation coeffi cient, and the specifi c loss factor with the wave number are shown graphically

NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF FLOW IN A CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR

With the use of the domestic software suite of computational hydrodynamics FlowVision based on application of the method of control volumes, numerical simulation of air composition and delivery by a centrifugal compressor employed for supercharging a piston engine has been carried out. The head-fl ow characteristics of the compressor, as well as the 3D fi elds of fl ow velocity and pressure distributions in the elements of the compressor fl ow passage, including the interblade channels of the impeller, have been obtained for various regimes. In the regimes of diminished air fl ow rate, surging phenomena are identifi ed, characterized by a return fl ow. The application of the technique of numerical experiment will make it possible from here on to carry out design optimization of the compressor fl ow passage profi le and thus to improve its basic characteristics — the degree of pressure increase, compressed air fl ow rate, and the effi ciency — as well as to reduce the costs of the development and production of compressors.
