DEPENDENCE OF THE MIXING RATE ON PRESSURE IN FREE CONVECTION OF A BINARY MIXTURE OF GASES IN A TWO-FLASK APPARATUS

Consideration has been given to a theoretical model of stationary mixing in free gravitational convection of a binary mixture of gases in a vertical channel with impermeable walls that connects two flasks. It has been shown that with growth in pressure in the supercritical regime the mixing rate peaks, after which it decreases monotonically. A comparison with experimental data has been made and a satisfactory agreement with theoretical results has been obtained.
