MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF THE HEAT TRANSFER AND CHEMICAL REACTION OF A SWIRLING FLOW OF A DISSOCIATIVE GAS

The authors give the results of investigations into the heat transfer of a swirling flow reacting to absorb the heat of the gas in a cylindrical channel. The performed analysis shows that the heat transfer grows with the flow swirl near the tube inlet and decreases downstream. To intensify the heat transfer it is necessary to organize the flow so that the region with the dominance of centrifugal forces occupies a major portion of the channel.
