THREE-LAYER PROBLEM ON HEAT EXCHANGE IN A MEDIUM WITH COUNTERFLOWS

With the use of the asymptotic method, it is shown that the three-layer problem on the conjugate heat exchange in an anisotropic medium with counterfl ows of liquid, formulated in the zero approximation, is equivalent to the analogous problem formulated using the Newton law. It was established that in the case where the counterfl ows of liquid in such a medium have equal strengths, the summary convective heat transfer in the medium is suppressed, and the medium takes new properties consisting in the appearance of heat fl ow mixed in nature, whose value is determined by the relation similar to the Fourier heat conduction law. By this meant that in the case where a temperature gradient is superimposed on a three-layer system of equivalent counterfl ows of liquid, in it there arises a heat fl ow having a value proportional to the temperature gradient in the medium and propagating in the direction opposite to the direction of this gradient. The eff ective coeffi cient of heat conductivity of medium, generated in it by the counterfl ows of liquid, separated by an immovable layer, is proportional to the square of the velocity of these fl ows. An immovable layer in a medium, separating the counterfl ows of liquid, increases the generation of heat in the medium, and the heat fl ow generated exceeds substantially the molecular one even in the case where it has a low velocity. Such processes provide the mass exchange in living organisms and their heat exchange with the environment.

DETERMINING THE EFFICIENCY RATIO OF A HEAT-EXCHANGE APPARATUS

The author has proposed the general approach to determining the effi ciency ratio of heat-exchange apparatuses with diff erent schemes of motion of the heat-transfer agents on the basis of taking account of their fi nal equilibrium temperature. A procedure has been developed to calculate this temperature for a cocurrent-fl ow scheme of motion of the heat-transfer agents. The proposed approach makes it possible to consistently determine and to correctly compare the effi ciency ratios of heat-exchange apparatuses in counterfl ow, cocurrent fl ow, and crossfl ow of hot and cold heat-transfer agents. The author has given results of calculating the effi ciency ratios of heat-exchange apparatuses used in the production of liquefi ed natural gas. It has been shown that the maximum operating effi ciency of a heatexchange apparatus is attained with evaporation of the cold heat-transfer agent (coolant), which is characteristic of the processes of liquefaction of gases

PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF USING A STEAM TURBINE GENERATOR PLANT AS PART OF A SYSTEM ENSURING A THERMAL REGIME BY USING LOOP HEAT PIPES

The problem of using a steam generator plant, operating on the Rankine cycle, to utilize some of the thermal energy as part of the system for ensuring the thermal regime of a spacecraft is considered. The thermal energy released by the instrumentation equipment is removed to external radiators using loop heat pipes, after which it is radiated into outer space. Part of the heat is converted into electricity to maintain the functioning of on-board radio-electronic equipment. The work assessed the infl uence of a steam generator plant on thermal systems (with a preliminary solution of a system of thermohydraulic equations with characteristic initial-boundary conditions of loop heat pipes), its design parameters, such as the area of external radiators and the mass of the system, and conclusions are made about the feasibility of its use. This system for ensuring thermal conditions using loop heat pipes can be useful for energy-consuming unmanned spacecraft with low restrictions on the mass and size characteristics of the device.

THE PROSPECT OF USING MEMBRANE DEVICES FOR COLD PRODUCTION AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE ABSORPTION REFRIGERATING INSTALLATION

The papers considers the problems relating to the use of separation processes in membrane apparatuses for the production of cold in mix refrigerating machines as an alternative to absorption refrigerating machines, which will ensure a more stable process for obtaining a refrigerant from the mixture, reduce material costs for the production of a refrigerating installation, and increase the energy effi ciency of the refrigerating installation operating on mixture components. An analysis of the use of traditional absorption and membrane refrigerating machines was carried out from the point of view of energy effi ciency and the number of working elements.

SCHWARZ PRIMITIVE SURFACE-BASED HEAT EXCHANGERS ADAPTED FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURE

The introduction of additive technologies may require an update in the methods of developing heat exchangers (HE). A variant of the methodology of HE parametric design has been demonstrated on a Schwarz P-surface. A 3D-calculaiton of a row-by-row representative HE model has been used to obtain data for deriving empirical criterial dependences suited for a fast engineering calculation of HE thermohydraulic characteristics. Within the framework of the technological testing and approval of HE manufacture on Schwarz P-surfaces, possibilities have been demonstrated for their scaling and for a reduction in roughness in the course of postprocessing for diff erent materials

NANOGRANULAR NATURE OF CSH: EXPERIMENTAL CONFIRMATION BY NANOINDENTATION

Hydration of cement materials is accompanied by the formation of calcium silicate hydrates (CSH). Accordingly, the hydration process is completed in the early, middle, and late periods, leading to the formation of two types of CSH phases: of low density (LD) and high density (HD). Usually, under normal conditions, LD CSH is formed in the middle period, while the formation of HD CSH predominates in the later stage. In using the nanoindentation method, it becomes possible to explain the nanogranular nature of the CSH gel, which is characterized by the contact forces of the CSH gel particles for these phases. Studies of cement stone samples at W/C = 0.21 and at the content of hydrothermal SiO2 nanoparticles in the combined additive 0.000006 wt.% and multilayer carbon nanotubes (MCNT) 0.00004 wt.% for cement showed that the eff ect of nanoparticles on the structure of the CSH gel becomes more pronounced, since the volume fraction of the LD phase of the CSH gel with a low packing density of nanogranules becomes signifi cantly lower than the fraction of the HD phase with increased hexagonal packing density of nanogranules.

MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF SiO2 NANOPARTICLE CONDENSATION UNDER LOW-TEMPERATURE PLASMA CONDITIONS

A model has been proposed that describes the processes of nucleation and growth of SiO2 nanoparticles from the gas phase formed in a plasma-chemical arc-discharge reactor. The value of the median diameter at a temperature T > 1500 K is determined by the rate of nucleation, deposition of molecules onto the particles formed, and by the rate of coagulation of formed particles. The main processes determining the change in the median diameter at temperatures 1000 < T < 1500 K are precipitation and coagulation. At a low temperature, T < 1000 K, a change in the median diameter occurs due to the deposition of molecules from the gas phase on the formed particles

TOWARD QUANTITATIVE INTERPRETATION OF THERMOGRAMS OVER THE WELLBORE ON OIL DEGASSING WITH REGARD TO THERMOHYDRODYNAMIC HEAT SOURCES

Based on numerical modeling of thermohydrodynamic processes in the wellbore under conditions of oil degassing, the possibility of estimating the coeffi cient of gas solubility in oil and the well fl ow rate is investigated based on an analysis of temperature distribution along the wellbore. It is shown that degassing of oil in the wellbore or in a bed leads to the formation of temperature cooling anomalies, which can be used to solve certain oilfi eld problems. The results obtained can be used in planning fi eld-geophysical studies and interpreting the results of temperature studies of wells during the production of live crude

MODELING THE PROCESSES OF EXTRACTION OF RETROGRADE CONDENSATE FROM DEPLETED GAS CONDENSATE RESERVOIRS USING HORIZONTAL WELLS

Based on mathematical modeling, an investigation has been made into the processes of segregational separation of hydrocarbon phases in the regime of depletion and extraction of retrograde condensate from depleted gas condensate reservoirs. It has been established that the occurrence of segregation processes in the case of depletion of gas condensate reservoirs results in the formation of a man-made condensate bank near the gas–water contact. An effi cient method of extraction of retrograde condensate from man-made condensate banks is waterfl ooding

DYNAMICS OF HYDRODYNAMIC PRESSURE IN THE WELL WITH PACKER SUCKER-ROD WELL PUMPS

A study is made of the possibility of using sucker-rod well pumps for oil withdrawal from the below-packer space of a producing well as a method of continuous excitation of fl uctuations of hydrodynamic pressure in the wellbore for wave action on the face zone of this well. The action of pulses of hydrodynamic pressure on the pay formation in the nearwellbore zone contributes to the cleaning of microparticles clogging the rock′s void space from it, to the development of a crack system in the rock, to the reduction in the effi cient viscosity of formation fl uids possessing viscoplastic properties, etc. This action tends to raise the effi ciency of producing wells. By mathematical-modeling methods, the author has obtained an analytical expression describing, with a high degree of accuracy, the dynamics of hydrodynamic pressure in the wellbore over one period of operation of suckerrod well pumps. It has been shown that in high-permeability formations with a formation-fl uid viscosity close to the viscosity of water, the amplitude of hydrodynamic-pressure fl uctuations in the below-packer zone of the wellbore is relatively small and is measured by values of the order of hundredth fractions of an MPa. On reduction in the permeability of reservoir rock, rise in the viscosity of the formation fl uid, and growth in the well yield, the amplitude of pressure fl uctuations grows up to ~1 MPa or more, which is responsible for the high effi ciency of wave action on face zones. The obtained results may be used to assess the effi ciency of use of sucker-rod well pumps in combination with packers to stimulate fi ltration processes in the face zones of oil-producing wells.

RHEOLOGICAL FEATURES OF WATER FLOW IN MICROCRACKS

Rheophysical phenomena during the fl ow of a viscous fl uid (water) in diff erently opened fl at microcracks have been studied. The role of the electrokinetic factor in the manifestation of the nonlinear rheological eff ect in a water fl ow in a microchannel model — the transformation of a Newtonian fl uid into a non-Newtonian one — is examined experimentally. Water fl ow curves were recorded and, based on the Bingham model, its rheological parameters were assessed for diff erently opened microcracks. It has been established that the non-Newtonian nature of water in microcracks is determined mainly by the value of the electrokinetic potential of the fl ow, and by reducing it, using antistatic additives, the nonlinear nature of the fl ow can be weakened signifi cantly.

ADVECTIVE THERMOACOUSTIC FLOW IN A ROTATING HORIZONTAL LIQUID LAYER

Exact analytical solution of the Navier–Stokes equations, that describes, in the Boussinesq approximation, the fl ow of an incompressible liquid in the horizontal, plane layer with solid boundaries, rotating about a vertical axis, is presented. The fl ow of the liquid in this layer is advective and thermoacoustic in nature, and it is due to the constant longitudinal temperature gradient at the boundaries of the layer and to the acoustic wave propagating in it. The length of this wave is assumed to be comparable with the thickness of the layer, and the period of acoustic vibrations of the liquid in it is small compared to the characteristic convection times. Because of this, it is advantageous to defi ne the averaged liquid fl ow in the layer. The properties of the solution obtained are investigated and the infl uence of the Taylor number of the liquid fl ow on its velocity and temperature profi les at constant Grashof, Reynolds, and Prandtl numbers is determined.

USE OF SHAPED CHARGES WITH VARIOUS LINERS FOR THE FORMATION OF HIGH-VELOCITY ALUMINUM PARTICLES

Tests of rocket and space equipment objects in terrestrial conditions for shock resistance to the impact of meteoroids and space debris can be carried out using shaped charges. To substantiate the design parameters of shaped charges ensuring the formation of aluminum particles in a broad velocity range (from 2.5 to 16 km/s), numerical simulation has been conducted for the process of the said formation within the framework of a two-dimensional axisymmetric problem of continuum mechanics using ANSYS/AUTODYN, ERUDIT, and KOLDUN computer systems. In calculations, consideration has been given to shaped charges with a diameter from 20 to 100 mm with aluminum liners of various shape. It has been shown that the formation of particles with velocities close to the lower boundary of the considered range is ensured by gently sloping segmental degressive-thickness liners. For the formation of higher-velocity particles with velocities above 5 km/s, it is suggested that use be made of combined liners whose jet-forming portion has the shape of a hemisphere of constant thickness or the shape of a semi-ellipsoid or semisuperellipsoid of rotation

DYNAMICS OF PENETRATION INTO CONCRETE BY DUMMY STRIKERS IN THE ABSENCE OR PRESENCE OF A DETACHABLE SABOT

Based on numerical simulation within the framework of a two-dimensional axisymmetric problem of continuum mechanics, an analysis has been made of penetration into a semi-infi nite barrier by dummy strikers with diameters of 14 and 18 mm and an initial velocity of 1200 m/s with and without account for the eff ects of the detachable sabot used for accelerating the dummies in the barrel of a ballistic installation. In simulating the penetration by dummy strikers in a sabot, a reduction was registered in the depth of penetration by a little over 10% with increase in the maximum overload compared to the case of penetration in the absence of a sabot. A cause has been identifi ed for the sabot′s negative eff ects on dummy strikers′ penetration, lying in an increase of tangential stresses acting on the surface of the dummies′ contact with the adjacent layer of loosened concrete due to precompression of this layer by the sabot until the sabot′s complete detachment from the dummy striker

INFLUENCES OF VARIABLE VISCOSITY AND VARIABLE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY ON A MIXED CONVECTIVE HYDROMAGNETIC FLOW IN A VERTICAL CHANNEL WITH THERMOPHORETIC DEPOSITION

The infl uences of variable viscosity and thermal conductivity on a steady, laminar, viscous, incompressible, hydromagnetic fl ow passing through a channel fi lled with a porous medium are investigated. The eff ects of heat source, thermal radiation, thermophoretic deposition, and Soret and Dufour numbers are considered. The governing equations are solved by the MATLAB bvp4c solver. It is found that increases in the viscosity parameter, thermal conductivity parameter, and the thermophoretic coeffi cient reduce the fl uid velocity, while increasing radiation parameter and Dufour number enhance it. An increase in the thermal conductivity parameter raises the concentration, but reduces the temperature. The infl uences of the relevant parameters on the skin friction and Sherwood and Nusselt numbers are presented in tabular form and analyzed.

INFLUENCE OF THE LASER PULSE ANNEALING OF THE SILICON IMPLANTED WITH INDIUM AND ARSENIC IONS ON ITS OPTICAL AND STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES

Optical and structural properties of silicon layers implanted with indium and arsenic ions and annealed by laser pulses were investigated. It is shown with the use of the Rutherford backscattering and channeling methods that the fraction of indium and arsenic atoms in the silicon crystal lattice of such a layer comprises 31–35%. It was established by the radiation absorption spectra of the indicated layers that the degree of absorption of the nearinfrared radiation (1.1–2.4 μm) by them is larger by several orders of magnitude than that of these layers in the initial state with no implantation and annealing (the absorption effi ciency comprises 50–60%). The effi ciency of absorption of the mid-infrared radiation quanta (3–25 μm) by a silicon layer implanted with indium and arsenic ions is higher by approximately three times than that of the initial one at a laser radiation energy density of 2.0–2.5 J/cm 2 . A broad band 1.1–1.6 μm has been revealed in the photoluminescence spectra of the silicon layers implanted with indium and arsenic ions and annealed by laser pulses

OPTIMIZATION OF THE REGIMES OF OBTAINING DIAMOND-LIKE CARBON COATINGS WITH HIGH PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS BY THE LASER-PLASMA METHOD

The formation of a diamond-like carbon coating on a substrate as a result of the action of the radiation of an industrial laser (t ~ 20 ns, λ = 1.06 μm) on a target of the highly oriented pyrolytic UPV-1 graphite in a vacuum was investigated. It is shown that by changing the power density of the laser radiation on the surface of such a target, the velocity of scanning of the laser beam over the target surface, the laser pulse repetition frequency, and the temperature of the target, one can control the ratio between the sp2 - and sp3 -carbon bonds in the coating applied to a substrate. It was established that a diamond-like carbon coating with a predominant content of the sp3 -bonded carbon is formed at a laser power density q ≥ 5.6∙108 W/cm 2 . In this case, it is advisable to select the laser pulse repetition frequency and the velocity of scanning of a laser beam over the surface of a target so that 10 to 14 laser pulses fall successively into one and the same area of the target surface. It is shown that, in the case where a target has a temperature T ≥ 423 K, the content of the sp3 -linked carbon in the coating applied to a substrate decreases sharply, with the result that the properties of the coating deteriorate.

HYBRID LATTICE BOLTZMANN METHOD FOR 3D NATURAL CONVECTION COMBINED WITH VOLUMETRIC RADIATION

A hybrid lattice Boltzmann model was developed to examine the eff ect of volumetric thermal radiation on threedimensional natural convection. Within this model, a fl uid fl ow was computed by the lattice Boltzmann method in terms of the D3Q19 scheme and Bhatnagar–Gross–Krook approximation. On the other hand, a fi nite-diff erence technique was applied to solve the energy equation. To determine the radiative heat fl ux, the Rosseland approximation was used. The eff ect of the Rayleigh number Ra and the radiation parameter Rd on the temperature, fl ow behavior, and the mean Nusselt number was studied in the ranges 104 ≤ Ra ≤ 106 and 0 < Rd ≤ 5. It was found that thermal radiation weakened natural convective mechanism of heat transfer. The mean convective Nusselt number increased with the Rayleigh number and decreased with increase in the radiation parameter

APPROXIMATE ANALYTICAL SOLUTION OF THE BRATU BOUNDARY-VALUE PROBLEM

Three new approaches to the solution of the Bratu problem are presented. The fi rst approach realizes the idea of successive diff erentiating the initial equation of this problem with expansion of the sought for function at the symmetry point of a space. The second approach is associated with the additional integration of the diff erential Bratu equation, and it represents a hybrid integral method. The third approach is based on the combined application of the successive diff erentiation of the Bratu equation, the hybrid integral method, the expansion of the sought for function at two points of the space, and an additional integral relation. The indicated approaches are characterized by the simplicity of the calculations required for their realization, and they reduce the solution of the Bratu problem to the solution of a system of linear algebraic equations. The numerical results of solving this problem demonstrate the high effi ciency of the approaches proposed, providing the obtaining of the solutions whose accuracy exceeds the accuracy of the analogous solutions, obtained on the basis of the known numerical and numerical-analytical methods, by three to fi ve orders of magnitude. This is especially true for the third approach that allows one to obtain two classical solutions of the Bratu problem fairly simply and with a very high accuracy. It is shown that the obtaining of an approximate solution of the Bratu problem with this approach calls for a small number of series terms, and the solutions obtained converge quickly and approximate the problem highly exactly

FREE-CONVECTION HEAT TRANSFER ON MULTIROW BUNDLES OF FINNED TUBES WITH CIRCULAR FINS

The use of free convection in various industries grows, which is due to the increase in heat loads, and also to the closer attention to energy effi ciency. Thus, for air-cooled apparatuses at certain parameters of the outside air, there is a possibility to decouple fan drives and to operate the apparatuses in an energy-saving free-convection regime. Here, a distinctive feature of the free-convection regime are high values of heat-transfer coeffi cients to compensate for which the heat-transfer surface on the source side of the air is increased by fi nning the tubes. With the aim of raising the effi ciency of heat-transfer processes, it is expedient to optimize the geometric parameters and arrangement of a bundle, the number of rows, and the location of the bundle in space. The paper presents a review of experimental and numerical investigations into the heat transfer of multirow horizontal and inclined bundles of fi nned tubes in a free-convection regime. This paper is a continuation of [1] in which a review has been presented of experimental and numerical investigations into the free-convection heat transfer on air-cooled annular-fi nned tubes and single-row bundles thereof. Importantly, the character of the dependences of the heat transfer of single-row bundles on the transverse pitch of the tubes diff ers fundamentally from similar dependences for multirow staggered bundles because of the infl uence of upper rows
