COMPLEX OF PROGRAMS FOR IMITATIVE SIMULATION OF ACCELERATION, HEATING, AND MELTING OF PARTICLES IN GAS-DYNAMIC CHANNELS OF TECHNOLOGICAL DEVICES
V. I. Timoshenko, I. S. Belotserkovets, V. P. Galinskii, and V. V. Zagniy UDC 533.6.01+621.793 This paper describes an interactive complex of programs designed for investigating the processes of acceleration, heating, and melting of particles in the gas-dynamic channels of burners. To illustrate the efficiency of this method, we have investigated the possibility of melting of tungsten particles in the process of their acceleration and heating by combustion products of hydrocarbon fuel in the gas-dynamic channel of the burner with the discharge method of acting on the flow.
