THE THEORY OF THERMODYNAMIC SYSTEMS WITH INTERNAL VARIABLES OF STATE: NECESSARY AND SUFFICIENT CONDITIONS FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
Based on the entropy-free thermodynamic approach, a generalized theory of thermodynamic systems with internal
variables of state is being developed. For the case of nonlinear thermodynamic systems with internal variables of
state and linear relaxation, the necessary and suffi cient conditions have been proved for fulfi llment of the second
law of thermodynamics in entropy-free formulation which, according to the basic theorem of the theory, are also
necessary and suffi cient for the existence of a thermodynamic potential. Moreover, relations of correspondence
between thermodynamic systems with memory and systems with internal variables of state have been established,
as well as some useful relations in the spaces of states of both types of systems

NUMERICAL STUDY OF MIXING THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY MODELS FOR NANOFLUID HEAT TRANSFER ENHANCEMENT
Researchers have paid attention to nanofl uid applications, since nanofl uids have revealed their potentials as working fl uids in many thermal systems. Numerical studies of convective heat transfer in nanofl uids can be based on considering them as single- and two-phase fl uids. This work is focused on improving the single-phase nanofl uid model performance, since the employment of this model requires less calculation time and it is less complicated due to utilizing the mixing thermal conductivity model, which combines static and dynamic parts used in the simulation domain alternately. The in-house numerical program has been developed to analyze the effects of the grid nodes, effective viscosity model, boundary-layer thickness, and of the mixing thermal conductivity model on the nanofl uid heat transfer enhancement. CuO–water, Al2O3–water, and Cu–water nanofl uids are chosen, and their laminar fully developed fl ows through a rectangular channel are considered. The infl uence of the effective viscosity model on the nanofl uid heat transfer enhancement is estimated through the average differences between the numerical and experimental results for the nanofl uids mentioned. The nanofl uid heat transfer enhancement results show that the mixing thermal conductivity model consisting of the Maxwell model as the static part and the Yu and Choi model as the dynamic part, being applied to all three nanofl uids, brings the numerical results closer to the experimental ones. The average differences between those results for CuO–water, Al2O3–water, and CuO–water nanofl uid fl ows are
3.25, 2.74, and 3.02%, respectively. The mixing thermal conductivity model has been proved to increase the accuracy
of the single-phase nanofl uid simulation and to reveal its potentials in the single-phase nanofl uid numerical studies

INFLUENCE OF AGGLOMERATION ON THE VISCOSITY OF NANOFLUIDS
A model of the associated layer on the surface of nanoparticles in a fl uid, which makes up mechanically integrated
inclusions with them, has been proposed. Such inclusions can primarily be considered as solid particles with a diameter
larger than their nucleus. This can be interpreted as the effective increase in the volume concentration of primary
particles, which makes it possible to adapt the existing Batchelor formula to describe the results of measurements of
the nanofl uid viscosity. The inevitability of the agglomeration of nanoparticles in view of the associated fl uid layer
being present on their surface has also been demonstrated. It has been shown that the effective volume concentration
depends on the size of primary nanoparticles and the degree of their agglomeration. Furthermore, data have been
presented according to which the associated-layer thickness for particles with a diameter under 20 mm becomes
dependent on the nanoparticle size.

STUDY OF THE MIXING REGIMES OF A FLUID AND A NANOFLUID IN A T-SHAPED MICROMIXER
In the present paper, the regimes of fl ow and mixing of water and a nanofl uid with aluminum oxide nanoparticles in
a T-shaped microchannel have been studied numerically. The Reynolds number was varied from 10 to 400, and the
volume concentration of nanoparticles was varied from 0 to 10%. Nanofl uids with mean sizes of particles from 50 to
150 nm were considered. The viscosity coeffi cient of the nanofl uid was taken from experimental data. In all cases, it
exceeded the viscosity coeffi cient of water and depended on not only the concentration of nanoparticles, but also on
their sizes, and the viscosity of the nanofl uid with smaller particles was higher than the viscosity of the nanofl uid with
large particles. It has been established that there exist regimes of steady irrotational fl ow, steady vortex fl ow with two
horseshoe vortices, and steady fl ow with two vortices in the mixing channel. It has been shown that when the fl ow
goes from the regime with horseshoe vortices to the fl ow conditions with two single vortices, the mixing effi ciency
increases several times. It has been established that the fl ow conditions and the mixing effi ciency largely depend on
the volume concentration of particles and their sizes.

SIMULATION OF THE DYNAMICS OF ISOTHERMAL GROWTH OF SINGLE-LAYER GRAPHENE ON A COPPER CATALYST IN THE PROCESS OF CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION OF HYDROCARBONS
A new kinetic model of isothermal growth of single-layer graphene on a copper catalyst as a result of the chemical
vapor deposition of hydrocarbons on it at a low pressure has been developed on the basis of in situ measurements
of the growth of graphene in the process of its synthesis. This model defi nes the synthesis of graphene with regard
for the chemisorption and catalytic decomposition of ethylene on the surface of a copper catalyst, the diffusion of
carbon atoms in the radial direction to the nucleation centers within the thin melted near-surface copper layer, and
the nucleation and autocatalytic growth of graphene domains. It is shown that the time dependence of the rate of
growth of a graphene domain has a characteristic asymmetrical bell-like shape. The dependences of the surface
area and size of a graphene domain and the rate of its growth on the time at different synthesis temperatures and
ethylene concentrations have been obtained. Time characteristics of the growth of graphene domains depending on
the parameters of their synthesis were calculated. The results obtained can be used for determining optimum regimes
of synthesis of graphene in the process of chemical vapor deposition of hydrocarbons on different catalysts with a
low solubility of carbon.

RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF RUBBER COMPOUNDS WITH FINELY DIVIDED CARBON ADDITIVES
A study has been made of the infl uence of three different nanomaterials: of the starting material, and also of
those functionalized by amine and oxygen-containing groups, on the properties of elastomer compositions based
on rubbers for special purposes. As the elastomer matrix, use was made in one case of a rubber compound
based on BNKS-18 butadiene-nitrile rubber and in the other, of a combination of two grades of butadiene-nitrile
rubber (BNKS-18 + BNKS-28 in a 50:50 ratio), which differed by the amount of the bound nitrile of acrylic acid.
To determine the degree of interaction between the additives and the elastomer matrix, the authors carried out
multiple tests of the rubber compounds. The indices of plastoelastic properties of the rubber compounds and the
qualitative characteristics of distribution of the fi ller (elastic modulus at small deformation amplitudes and the
shear modulus under large deformation) and the difference in these indices (complex dynamic modulus) alike have
been determined.

EXCITATION OF SHOCK WAVES IN THE PASSAGE OF DETONATION THROUGH THE REGION OF MIXING OF REACTING AND INERT GASES
A nonstationary problem on the excitation of a plane shock wave as a result of the passage of detonation through
the region of mixing of a reacting and an inert gases has been formulated and solved numerically. The formulation
of this problem is based on the approximate model defi ning, with a high accuracy, the change in the molar mass and
specifi c internal energy of the combustion products of hydrocarbons caused by a shift of them from their chemicalequilibrium
position. A situation in which, in the region of mixing of the reacting and inert gases, their concentrations
change linearly was considered. The infl uence of the width of the mixing region on the intensity of the excited shock
waves and the law of their attenuation was investigated.

NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS OF A SUPERSONIC PASSENGER AIRCRAFT ON THE INTENSITY OF SONIC BOOM
Results of calculations of the sonic boom produced by a supersonic passenger aircraft in a cruising regime of fl ight
at the Mach number M = 2.03 are presented. Consideration is given to the infl uence of the lateral dihedral of the
wings and the angle of their setting, and also of different locations of the aircraft engine nacelles on the wing.
An analysis of parametric calculations has shown that the intensities of sonic boom generated by a confi guration
with a dihedral rear wing and by a confi guration with set wings remain constant, in practice, and correspond
to the intensity level created by the optimum confi guration. Comparative assessments of sonic boom for tandem
confi gurations with different locations of the engine nacelles on the wing surface have shown that the intensity of
sonic boom generated by the confi guration with an engine nacelle on the windward side can be reduced by ~14%
compared to the confi guration without engine nacelles. In the case of the confi guration with engine nacelles on the
leeward size of the wing, the profi le of the sonic-boom wave degenerates into an N-wave, in which the intensity of
the bow shock is signifi cantly reduced.

AN EXPERIMENTAL MODEL FOR INVESTIGATING THE DYNAMICS OF MAGNETIC DISPERSIONS IN A GRADIENT MAGNETIC FIELD
An experimental model is suggested for investigating the motion of magnetic dispersions under the action
of mechanical and volumetric magnetic surface forces created respectively by a rotating cylinder and by the
inhomogeneous fi eld of a transversely polarized cylindrical magnet. Using as an example a single magnetic ball,
the characteristic features of motion attributable to the competition among the surface, magnetic, and inertial forces
in the ″cylindrical magnet–rotating cylinder–quiescent cylinder″ system have been studied, including the critical
frequency of the inertial slipping of dispersion from the rotating surface and the dynamic equilibrium of dispersion
under the conditions of competition between the centrifugal slipping and magnetic capture.

ON CALCULATION OF INTENSE DESCENDING CONVECTION ABOVE A "COLD SPOT" ON A HORIZONTAL SURFACE
The author presents results of theoretical assessments referring to the convection that appears above a "cold spot"
on a horizontal surface. Consideration is given to the case of thermal inhomogeneities with a fairly large amplitude
where one cannot restrict oneself to a linear approximation. An analog of the Rayleigh number proportional to
the amplitude of the temperature deviation and to the cube of the horizontal scale of the thermal inhomogeneity is
a dimensionless criterion. From simple physical considerations and the scaling analysis, the author has obtained
explicit analytical expressions for the depth (height) of penetration of thermal perturbations into a medium and for
the amplitudes of convection-velocity components. These results are in good agreement with the experimental data
available in the literature. The Nusselt number is proportional to the analog of the Rayleigh number to power 1/5;
here, from a comparison with the experimental results, it follows that the proportionality factor is of the order of
unity. The infl uence of the convection in question on the transfer of a passive impurity has been determined.

CONCENTRATION DISTRIBUTION OF SOLID PARTICLES IN THE COMPLETELY DEVELOPED TURBULENT FLOW IN A CHANNEL
The formation of regions with a higher concentration of solid particles in the completely developed turbulent flow
in a channel with impermeable walls was investigated. A gas fl ow was simulated on the basis of nonstationary
three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations. The discrete-trajectory approach was used for simulation of the
movement of particles. On the basis of the data of a direct numerical simulation, the distributions of the average
and pulsating characteristics of the flow in the channel and the concentration distribution of the dispersed phase in
it were determined. It was established that the formation of regions with a higher concentration of solid particles
in the channel is due to the instantaneous redistribution of vorticity near its walls. The numerical-simulation data
obtained are in qualitative and quantitative agreement with the corresponding results of physical and computational
experiments.

ATTENUATION OF THE ACOUSTIC SIGNAL PROPAGATING THROUGH A BUBBLY LIQUID LAYER
The acoustic signal dynamics in a fi ve-layer medium containing two liquid layers with polydisperse gas bubbles
has been investigated. Calculations have been made for the interaction between the pulse perturbation of smallamplitude
pressure and a multilayer sample containing two layers of industrial gel with polydisperse air bubbles. It
has been shown that a small content of bubbles (about 0.1 vol. %) in a thin gel layer decreases tenfold or more the
amplitude of acoustic waves with frequencies close to the resonance frequency of natural oscillations of bubbles.
There are frequency ranges thereby where the infl uence of the bubbly layer is insignifi cant.

spatial distribution of the mean density of dispersed phase, that is, during the propagation of a shock wave from a

MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF MULTIPHASE FILTRATION IN POROUS MEDIA WITH A CHEMICALLY ACTIVE SKELETON
The authors propose a mathematical model of two-phase fi ltration that occurs under the conditions of dissolution of
a porous medium. The model can be used for joint description of complex chemical-hydrogeomechanical processes
that are of frequent occurrence in the oil-and-gas producing and nature conservation practice. As an example,
consideration is given to the acidizing of the bottom zone of the injection well of an oil reservoir. Enclosing rocks
are represented by carbonates. The phases of the process are an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid and oil. A
software product for computational experiments is developed. For the numerical experiments, use is made of the
data on the wells of an actual oil fi eld. Good agreement is obtained between the fi eld data and the calculated data.
Numerical experiments with different confi gurations of the permeability of an oil stratum are conducted.

from the fl ow free surface is considered. To study such type of fl ow, a mixed boundary-value problem of the theory of
analytical functions is formulated and solved with application of the Polubarinova-Kochina method. Based on the
model suggested, an algorithm for computing the discharge of the gallery and the ordinate of free surface emergence
to the impermeable screen is developed. A detailed hydrodynamic analysis of the infl uence of all physical parameters
of the model on the desired fi ltration characteristics is given.

HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN THE DRYING OF A CYLINDRICAL BODY IN AN OSCILLATING MAGNETIC FIELD
A problem on the heating of a cylindrical body of infi nite length in an oscillating electromagnetic fi eld in the process
of its drying has been formulated and solved analytically with account of the intermittence of irradiation of the
body defi ned by the Heaviside unit function, the exponential-law absorption of electromagnetic energy by it, and the
convective heat and mass exchange between the surface of the body and the environment having constant parameters.
The intensity of evaporation of moisture from the surface of the body was determined on the basis of analytical solution
of the problem on the mass transfer (moisture diffusion) in it on the assumption that the phase transformations of the
body proceed near its surface. Solutions of the problem on the heating of the cylindrical body have been obtained
for the cases of nonuniform and uniform distributions of its local temperature, the temperature of the body averaged
over its volume, and the temperature gradient near the surface of the body. The "serviceability" of these solutions
was verifi ed on the basis of numerical simulation, with them, of the drying of a seed shaped as a cylinder under the
action of an oscillating infrared radiation. As a result of the numerical simulation performed, a technological regime
of drying of seeds at minimum and maximum temperatures of their heating by on oscillating infrared radiation for a
defi nite period of time in a cycle, providing not only the drying of the seeds but also substantial improvement of their
sowing properties (the sprouting energy and the germination power), has been found. It is shown that the oscillating
infrared heating of seeds can be used for their drying in pseudofl uidized and vibrofl uidized beds.

QUASI-CAPILLARY EFFECT IN A FIXED AERATED GRANULAR BED
The phenomenon of spontaneous rise of solid particles in a narrow tube immersed in a fi xed aerated granular bed
has been investigated experimentally. This phenomenon was called by us the quasi-capillary effect. It has been
established that if a tube is immersed in a fi xed aerated granular bed, conditions are created inside the tube for
intense motion of the solid phase, as a result of which the height to which the disperse medium rises inside the tube
exceeds the height of the bulk granular bed. It is shown that the height of the solid phase rise and the character of
the particle motion depend directly on the ratio of the inner tube diameter to the size of particles, as well as on the
depth of tube immersion in the granular bed. The physical interpretation of this effect is given.

ON THE THEORY OF ACCUMULATION OF HYDROCARBONS IN A DOME USED TO ELIMINATE A TECHNOGENIC SPILL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN
Consideration is given to the operation of a dome separator installed at the bottom of the World Ocean and intended
to eliminate the effects of technogenic spill of hydrocarbons. It is assumed that oil and gas (methane) escape from the
damaged well on the ocean fl oor. Under the conditions of stable existence of a hydrate, a hydration sheath is formed
on the surface of methane bubbles. To collect the entering hydrocarbons, a dome from a soft polyurethane shell is
installed above the spill site, inside which the hydrocarbons are accumulated. In the regime of steady-state operation
of the dome, provision is made for pumping out of hydrocarbons for transportation and further utilization. In the
work, temperature fi elds of the hydrocarbon layers accumulated in the dome are investigated.

SIMULATION OF THE PROCESSES OF FORMATION OF A DUST CLOUD IN A VACUUM AND IN THE ABSENCE OF GRAVITATION
This article is devoted to the simulation of the processes of formation of dust clouds in the absence of gravitation,
which is necessary for understanding the processes proceeding in dust clusters in outer space, upper planetary
atmosphere, and on the surface of space objects, as well as for evaluating the possibilities of creating disperse
structures with given properties. The chief aim of the simulation is to determine the general laws of the dynamics of
the dust cloud at the initial stage of its formation. With the use of the original approach based on the particle-in-cell
method that permits investigating the mechanics of large ensembles of particles on contemporary computational
platforms, we consider the mechanics of a dusty medium in the process of its excitation in a closed container due
to the vibration of the walls, and then in the process of particle scattering when the container opens in outer space.
The main formation mechanisms of a dust formation have been elucidated, and the possibilities of mathematical
simulation for predicting spatial and time characteristics of disperse structures have been shown.

HEAT-FLUX SENSORS INTEGRATED INTO THE STRUCTURE OF THERMAL PROTECTION COATINGS
In designing heat-loaded structural elements of descent modules, information on heat loads (heat fl uxes and surface
temperatures) throughout the active stage of fl ight in the atmosphere is primary. When a spacecraft moves with
hypersonic velocities, the level of temperature and processes occurring on the thermal-protection surface does not
necessarily make it possible to use traditional tools to measure heat loads. In this case an alternative to direct
measurements is provided by determining heat loads from the data of temperature measurements at several internal
points of the structural elements of the thermal protection. The objective of the present work is to develop and
evaluate sensors for measurement of the heat loading of thermal protection coatings of today′s descent modules. In
the paper, consideration is given to heat-fl ux sensors for two classes of thermal protection materials: nondestructible
fi brous materials and thermally destructible polymers.

MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF HEAT TRANSFER IN THE CATALYST GRANULE WITH POINT REACTION CENTERS
This paper considers a catalyst granule with a porous ceramic chemically inert base and active point centers, at
which an exothermic reaction of synthesis takes place. The rate of a chemical reaction depends on temperature
by the Arrhenius law. The heat is removed from the catalyst granule surface to the synthesis products by heat
transfer. Based on the idea of self-consistent fi eld, a closed system of equations is constructed for calculating the
temperatures of the active centers. As an example, a catalyst granule of the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis with active
metallic cobalt particles is considered. The stationary temperatures of the active centers are calculated by the timedependent
technique by solving a system of ordinary differential equations. The temperature distribution inside the
granule has been found for the local centers located on one diameter of the granule and distributed randomly in
the granule′s volume. The existence of the critical temperature inside the reactor has been established, the excess
of which leads to substantial superheating of local centers. The temperature distribution with local reaction centers
differs qualitatively from the granule temperature calculated in the homogeneous approximation. The results of
calculations are given.

HEAT TRANSFER IN AIR FLOW ACROSS A SINGLE-ROW BUNDLE OF TUBES WITH SPIRAL GROOVES
An experimental study has been made of the heat transfer and hydraulic resistance in air flow across a single-row
bundle of tubes with spiral grooves on the exterior surface and of a bundle of smooth tubes of the same diameter.
Cutting a spiral groove of width 3 mm and depth 2 mm with a pitch of 20 mm on a tube with an outside diameter of
22 mm increased the heat-transfer coefficient in the range of Reynolds numbers 6200–16,000 by 40–53% compared
to the smooth-tube bundle. The hydraulic resistance of the tube bundle decreased by 22%. The Reynolds analogy
factor increased, on the average, by 41%. Tubes with spiral grooves, in the investigated range of the velocities of
flow, have shown a certain increase in the Strouhal number to values of 0.24–0.36. Computer simulation has been
carried out of the hydrodynamics of the single-row bundle of smooth-wall tubes and the tubes with spiral grooves.
It has been shown that the enhancement of heat transfer and the decrease in the hydraulic resistance alike are
attributable to the appearance of nonsymmetric vortex structures induced by the fl ow across the spiral grooves.

ASSESSMENT OF THERMAL PERFORMANCE OF FUNCTIONALLY GRADED MATERIALS IN LONGITUDINAL FINS
Assessment of the thermal characteristics of materials in heat exchangers with longitudinal fi ns is performed in the
case where a conventional homogeneous material of a longitudinal fi n is replaced by a functionally graded one,
in which the fin material properties, such as the conductivity, are assumed to be graded as linear and power-law
functions along the normal axis from the fi n base to the fi n tip. The resulting equations are calculated under two
(Dirichlet and Neumann) boundary conditions. The equations are solved by an approximate analytical method with
the use of the mean value theorem. The results show that the inhomogeneity index of a functionally graded material
plays an important role for the thermal energy characteristics in such heat exchangers. In addition, it is observed
that the use of such a material in longitudinal fi ns enhances the rate of heat transfer between the fi n surface and
surrounding fl uid. Hopefully, the results obtained in the study will arouse interest of designers in heat exchange
industry.

NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE LOW-PRESSURE EVAPORATIVE COOLING OF A SUBSTRATE
A mathematical model for determining the interrelationship between the velocity of motion of the evaporation front and the thermal processes in the substrate has been developed. We have calculated the values of heat fl uxes from the substrate in the process of evaporation of a fi lm of thickness several microns and femtoliter water droplets. It has been shown that the heat fl uxes in the evaporation time are of the order of 1 MW/m2
. The evaporation time
does not exceed 10–2 s. Approximated formulas have been obtained for estimating the values of heat fl uxes. It has
been established that a decrease in pressure increases the value of the measured heat fl ux due to the decrease in the
limiting temperature of the evaporation front.

EVAPORATION OF WATER DROPLETS MOVING THROUGH HIGH-TEMPERATURE GASES
With the use of high-speed recording and diagnostic facilities, an experimental study has been made of the evaporation of droplets (of characteristic size Rm ≈ 0.05–0.035 mm) of atomized fl ow of water-based suspensions with typical soil impurities (silt and clay) moving in a high-temperature (about 1100 K) gaseous medium (with the example of acetone combustion products). The relative mass concentration of soil components in the suspension was varied over the range of γ = 0–1%. A strong infl uence of the above impurities on the main characteristic of evaporation — the relative change in the droplet radius ΔR — has been established. The infl uence of the initial temperature (varied over the range of Tw = 278–320 K) of the atomized suspension on the evaporation rate of the latter has been determined.
It has been shown that the values of integral characteristics of the process of evaporation of suspensions with soil
impurities can be much (2–3 times) higher than for water without these components.
