NUMERICAL-ANALYTICAL SOLUTION OF THE NONLINEAR COEFFICIENT INVERSE HEAT CONDUCTION PROBLEM

An approach to identifi cation of thermophysical characteristics on the basis of numerical-analytical solution of a nonlinear coeffi cient inverse heat conduction problem is considered. The proposed approach is based on reduction of the differential heat conduction equation, which models measuring operations, to the corresponding integrofunctional equation with the use of the method of integral transformation and on its numerical solution by iteration method. To raise the stability of numerical solution and eliminate the noises in the measuring apparatuses that distort the measured values of the temperature fi eld, an approximation by the least square method and preliminary smoothing of experimental temperature data by spline-functions are made. The results of numerical experiments carried out on model problems are given, from which it follows that as to the accuracy of calculation the indicated approach is superior to the well-known numerical methods, retaining the possibility of constructing identifi able characteristics as arbitrary functions of temperature

DIRECT (CLASSICAL) METHOD OF CALCULATION OF THE TEMPERATURE FIELD IN A HOLLOW MULTILAYER CYLINDER

A structural scheme of construction of a solution to a mixed problem for the heat-conduction equation in the case of a hollow multilayer cylinder under the conditions of ideal thermal contact between the layers is proposed and substantiated. The presence of connective heat exchange with the environment is assumed, i.e., boundary conditions of the third kind are observed. Coeffi cients of the heat-conduction equation are considered to be piecewisecontinuous as far as the space coordinate is concerned. The scheme is based on the: reduction method, concept of quasi derivatives, modcern theory of systems of linear differential equations, Fourier method, and modifi ed method of eigenfunctions. A numerical example of calculation of the temperature fi eld in an actual hollow four-layer pipeline under external-fi re conditions is given

PARABOLIC PROFILE IN HEAT-CONDUCTION PROBLEMS. 1. SEMI-BOUNDED SPACE WITH A SURFACE OF CONSTANT TEMPERATURE

A new approach to the construction of constitutive integral relations, involving the introduction into consideration of local functions for a heat fl ow or a temperature determined directly from the differential heat-conduction equation, is proposed. With the use of this approach, new integral relations: the temperature-momentum integral of single modifi cation, the temperature-momentum integral of double modifi cation, the heat-fl ow integral, and the temperature-function integral, have been obtained. On the basis of these integrals as well as the integral method of heat balance and the refi ned integral method, different variants of the hybrid integral method realized with the use of manifold integral relations were investigated. In addition to the Langford norm, new error norms were introduced into consideration. The parabolic solutions obtained possess much better qualities compared to those of the analogous known solutions

STRUCTURAL-TECHNOLOGICAL METHODS FOR REDUCTION OF THERMAL STRESS IN GRINDING

A study has been made of temperature fi elds occurring in a workpiece in the process of its fl at grinding. The author has obtained relations making it possible to calculate the rate of heating and cooling of the machined workpiece at any point of it with account of the machining regime and of the intensity of the heat fl ux and the time of its action, and also the dependence of the stresses in the workpiece on the time of action of the heat source and its temperature. It has been established that by changing the structural parameters of the cutting surface of the wheel and the relation between the velocity of motion of the workpiece, the velocity of motion of the wheel, and the grinding depth, one can control the time of action of the heat fl ux on the workpiece and reduce thermal stress of the process

FORMATION OF THE TEMPERATURE FIELD OF DIELECTRIC FILMS AND OF A BASE IN THE FIELD OF A CONTINUOUS ION BEAM

The infl uence of the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity and heat transfer coeffi cients, as well as of the emissivity of a dielectric fi lm and of an insulating base on formation of a stationary temperature fi eld of the dielectric–base system exposed to irradiation by a continuous ion beam in air, has been studied theoretically. Analytical expressions have been obtained for the temperature fi elds of a sample and base, as well as a system of interrelated nonlinear algebraic equations for characteristic temperatures. With the aid of numerical solution of a system of nonlinear algebraic equations, the dependences of the temperature of the irradiated surface of the sample– base system and of the rear side of this system on the incident ion beam parameters have been found. It has been established that these dependences are nonlinear. It has been found that heating of a sample, including its irradiated surface, decreases substantially with increase in the thermal conductivity of the base

The aim of the present work is to compare the dependences of the aerodynamic characteristics of the cylinder with a ″fl uid fl are″ on the angle of attack on increase of the latter from zero to 10o (straight motion) and on its further decrease from 10o to zero (backward motion).

INFLUENCE OF THE GAS SATURATION OF A LIQUID ON THE PECULIARITIES OF UNSTEADY FLOWS IN INTRICATE PIPELINES

Consideration has been given to liquid fl ows in a simple pipeline and in an intricate branched pipeline system with local hydraulic resistances in the presence of gas release to form a fi ne-bubble two-phase suspension. On the basis of a numerical method of characteristics, the authors have proposed an algorithm for calculation of such fl ows. Peculiarities of transient hydrodynamic processes have been established which are due to the effects of gas release on the startup of the system and it reaching a stationary regime of fl ow. With the example of feed lines of a system of bipropellant low-thrust control rocket engines, the infl uence of gas release on the system′s operation in a pulsed regime has been shown.

INFLUENCE OF GAS-DYNAMICAL NONSTATIONARITY ON LOCAL HEAT TRANSFER IN THE GAS–AIR PASSAGES OF PISTON INTERNAL-COMBUSTION ENGINES

The results of experimental investigation of the effect exerted by gas-dynamical nonstationarity on the intensity of heat transfer in the intake and discharge manifolds of piston internal-combustion engines are presented. Experimental setups, instrumentation, and experimental procedures are described. Combined dependences of the change in the instantaneous fl ow velocity and in the local coeffi cient of heat transfer in the gas–air passages on the engine crank angle are analyzed. It is shown that the gas-dynamical nonstationarity reduces the local heat transfer intensity in
the gas–air passages of piston internal-combustion engines 1.3–2.5 times depending on the gas fl ow velocity (on the mode of engine operation). A method is suggested to account for the gas-dynamical nonstationarity by applying a correction coeffi cient of heat transfer mobility to the classical equations used for calculating the local heat transfer coeffi cient.

HYDRODYNAMICS OF A NONSTATIONARY FLOW IN A MICROCYLINDER BEGINNING SUDDEN ROTATION

Results of a theoretical investigation of an acceleration liquid fl ow in a microcylinder beginning sudden rotation are presented. The problem on this fl ow was solved analytically with the use of the Laplace transform and the method of groups of symmetries as well as numerically using the method of Boltzmann lattices. The nonstationary fl ow-velocity profi les obtained analytically were compared with the results of a numerical solution. It is shown that the fl ow in the microcylinder develops by the asymptotic law and that the time of stabilization of this fl ow increases with increase in the Knudsen number. An analytical expression for the friction coeffi cient of the indicated fl ow has been obtained.

CRISIS OF THE LAMINAR FLOW OF A NON-NEWTONIAN LIQUID IN A PIPE

The laminar-turbulent transition of fl ows of Newtonian (viscous) and non-Newtonian liquids in pipes was investigated on the basis of the combined analysis of the generalized equation of the fi rst and second laws of thermodynamics for a simple system and the Darcy–Weisbach equation. It is shown that a reason for the crises of the laminar fl ows of such liquids in pipes is the disturbance of the balance between the positive entropy production and the negative entropy fl ow in them. An analysis of calculation and experimental data on the disturbance of the laminar fl ow of a non-Newtonian liquid in a pipe and the transformation of this fl ow into a turbulent fl ow has shown that the crises of a laminar fl ow of an elastoviscoplastic liquid in a pipe happens at a larger critical Reynolds number compared to that of a laminar fl ow of a viscoplastic liquid at one and the same values of the Hedstrom parameter

TWO-STAGE PROCESSING OF A MATERIAL WITH PREDOMINANT COMBUSTIBLE MATTER

The authors have presented an improved technology for processing of organic substances, which is based on an analysis of various methods described in the literature and results of experimental investigations of thermal conversion and plasma-assisted pyrolysis, conducted at the A. V. Luikov Heat and Mass Transfer Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. The proposed technology includes two stages the fi rst of which is pyrolysis with a temperature of 400 to 550o C. The combustible matter of the material decomposes with the resulting formation of volatile hydrocarbons and solid coke-ash residue with a high content of carbon and a developed surface. Thus, after the pyrolytic stage step, the hydrocarbon part of the substance goes into a gas phase, and the coke-ash residue is dispersed. The second stage is high-temperature (1100–1400o C) processing of the products of the fi rst stage by the mechanism of partial oxidation. Additional oxygen is fed to convert carbon into CO. As a result, all the hydrocarbons are converted into a syngas which consists of CO and H2. This gas has a high calorifi c value and can be utilized as a fuel in an electric generator. The inorganic matter can be vitrifi ed and is suitable for safe burial.

INFLUENCE OF THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF MIXED BIOFUELS ON THE SPRAY CHARACTERISTICS

An analysis has been made of the infl uence of the physical properties of mixed biofuels on the characteristics of spraying by centrifugal atomizers. It has been shown that the characteristics of the jet downstream of devices effectively atomizing oil fuels can signifi cantly degrade in using biofuels. To avoid collapse of the fuel bubble, it is necessary to calculate the form of the fuel sheet. We have constructed the boundary curves in coordinates fuel Reynolds number–Laplace number characterizing the transition from the ″tulip″ form of disintegration of the sheet to its atomization and enabling one to determine the boundaries of the spraying region for any atomizer. The swirl of the air surrounding the atomizer in the same direction as the twist of the fuel sheet markedly upgrades the spraying characteristics of strongly bound fuels. The determining infl uence on the form of the sheet is exerted thereby by the value of the tangential air fl ow velocity, and the value of the axial velocity is immaterial

CONDITIONS FOR EXPLOSIVE DISINTEGRATION OF INHOMOGENEOUS WATER DROPLETS ON HIGH-TEMPERATURE HEATING

Experimental investigations of the characteristic stages of the processes of heating, evaporation, and explosive disintegration of inhomogeneous water droplets (with a commensurate graphite inclusion) in a high-temperature (600–1200 K) gaseous medium are carried out. Three methods of heating droplets differing in the dominating mechanism of heat transfer are used: heating in a muffl e tube furnace (thermal radiation), in a stream of heated air (radiative-convective heat transfer), and in a stream of high-temperature combustion products of a typical liquid fuel (radiative-convective heat transfer). Characteristic values of each heat fl ux component ate determined for the conditions of experiments, as well as their dependences on temperature. It is shown that the highest values of the radiative heat fl ux (determining one from the viewpoint of the origination of the effect of explosive fragmentation of droplets) correspond to the schemes of heating in a stream of combustion products and in a tubular muffl e furnace. The threshold values of the gaseous media temperatures at which a stable explosive disintegration of evaporating inhomogeneous droplets is realized (Tg > 850 K for conditions of heating in a stream of heated air, Tg > 800 K for the tubular muffl e furnace, and Tg > 600 K for a stream of combustion products) have been obtained experimentally. With the use of thermocouple measurements the assumption on accumulation of the energy of thermal radiation near the liquid–solid particle interface and on the resulting formation of an additional source of liquid fi lm heating has been confi rmed, which leads to the overheating of the liquid and to explosive disintegration of the droplet.

ON THE THEORY OF INJECTION OF A COLD GAS INTO A SNOW MASS ACCOMPANIED BY HYDRATE FORMATION

The problem on the formation of a gas hydrate in a snow mass, whose pores in the initial state are saturated with a gas, in the process of injection of the same gas into this mass was considered. Self-similar solutions defi ning the distributions of the main parameters of the snow mass (its temperature, pressure, and phase saturation) have been constructed. It is shown that, depending on the initial thermobaric state of the snow–gas system and the intensity of injection of the gas into the snow mass, in its fi ltration region there can arise three characteristic zones: a near zone in which the snow turned completely into the hydrate state and which, consequently, is saturated with the gas and the hydrate, an intermediate zone in which the gas, the snow, and the hydrate are at phase equilibrium, and a far zone fi lled with the gas and snow. It was established that the extension of the three-dimensional zone of hydrate formation in a snow mass decreases with increase in its initial snow saturation, an intermediate hydrate-formation zone of larger length arises in a snow mass with a higher permeability, and this zone is heated more intensively in a snow mass with a lower initial temperature in which, for this reason, the snow fraction at the near boundary is increased.

It was established that the introduction of fullerenes into metal fi lms and coatings substantially changes their structure and the electrical and frictional characteristics (by several times in some cases) even if the content of C60 in them comprises 1.0 wt.%. It is shown that fullerenes can be used to advantage for control of the structure and properties of materials.

ADSORPTION AND DIFFUSION OF HYDROGEN ON LOW-INDEX (110) AND (111) SURFACES OF ALUMINUM

By the density-functional method, the authors have considered the energetics of adsorption and diffusion of a hydrogen molecule into atomically thin aluminum plates with body-centered tetragonal and rhombohedral crystallite structures bounded by the (110) and (111) surfaces, and also geometric confi gurations of surface aluminum hydrides. It has been shown that physical adsorption of H2 molecules on the Al(110) and Al(111) surfaces is a weak exothermic process. Polarization and deformation due to the physical adsorption lead to a certain increase in the H–H interatomic spacing (0.734 Å). The diffusion of the hydrogen atoms into body-centered tetragonal and rhombohedral plates tends to increase the system's energy. It has been found that hydrogen diffuses most easily through the Al(110) surface; in atomic diffusion through the subsurface layer, the energy grows up to 1.1 eV. A stable energy state is attained due to the formation of a tetrahedral hydrogen complex.
