CONVECTIVE-DIFFUSION MODEL OF TRANSFER OF A SEDIMENTING LOW-CONCENTRATION POLYDISPERSE SUSPENSION OF STOKESIAN PARTICLES IN A PLANE CHANNEL. PART I
The authors have developed a convective-diffusion model of sedimentation of solid Stokesian particles from a dispersed phase moving in an ideal-mixing regime in a plane channel as the initial boundary-value problem for the particle size function, whose solution was obtained in analytical form. The mixing coefficient has been found from the hydrodynamic analogy with turbulent viscosity, and the kinetic coeffi cients of settling on "wetted" surfaces have been determined on condition that the particles near the walls lose the convective velocity component but preserve the Brownian and Stokesian components. The obtained calculation results are consistent with the universally accepted ideas of separation of the solid phase of suspensions from flows on the settling surface.

PERMEABILITY OF HOLLOW MICROSPHERICAL MEMBRANES TO HELIUM
This work is devoted to the study of the sorption characteristics of various hollow microspherical membranes to reveal particles most suitable for application in the membrane-sorption technologies of helium extraction from a natural gas. The permeability of the investigated sorbents to helium and their impermeability to air and methane are shown experimentally. The sorption–desorption dependences of the studied sorbents have been obtained, from which the parameters of their specifi c permeability to helium are calculated. It has been established that the physicochemical modifi cation of the original particles exerts a great infl uence on the coefficient of the permeability  of a sorbent to helium. Specially treated cenospheres have displayed high efficiency as membranes for selective extraction of helium.

PULSE METHOD OF MASS TRANSFER INTENSIFICATION IN ELASTIC CHANNELS
The kinetics of internal mass transfer in the course of evaporation of liquids in elastic capillary systems in which the transverse dimensions of the pores can both decrease and increase on exposure to intense thermal effect is investigated. Structural transformations in a material arise as a result of its dehydration. It is assumed that the channel radius changes simultaneously over the entire length, synchronously with the interface motion. Three schemes are possible in principle: a uniform change during the process, a faster change in the initial stage, and, conversely, a faster change in the closing stage. The time-limited additional thermal effect during the period that makes the main contribution to the overall duration of the process is capable of substantially enhancing mass transfer with minimum energy consumption.

VERIFICATION OF THE SHEAR-STRESS TRANSFER MODEL AND ITS MODIFICATIONS IN THE CALCULATION OF A TURBULENT FLOW AROUND A SEMICIRCULAR AIRFOIL WITH A ZERO ANGLE OF ATTACK
A comparative analysis of different versions of the Menter shear-stress transfer model, including with correction for the curvature of streamlines, has been performed as applied to a periodic flow around a semicircular airfoil with a zero angle of attack at Re = 45,000. A comparison of the calculated aerodynamic coefficients Cx and Cy and the  surface distribution of the pressure coefficient, averaged over the period of oscillations of the lift coefficient Cy, with the corresponding experimental data has shown that the Menter shear-stress transfer model modifi ed within the framework of the Rody–Leshtsiner–Isaev approach with the use of the inverse function of the Richardson number correcting the eddy viscosity of a fl ow with a semiempirical Isaev–Kharchenko–Usachov constant equal to 0.02 is preferred compared to the other versions of this model. The errors of the calculations performed with the use of the multiblock computational technologies based on intersecting structured meshes of different scales were analyzed. The interrelation between the evolution of the structure of the periodic flow around the semicircular airfoil and the distribution of its integral force characteristics in the period of Cy oscillations is discussed.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF COLLISION OF WATER DROPLETS IN A FLOW OF HIGH-TEMPERATURE GASES
Using high-speed video recording and cross-correlation "tracer" visualization, the authors have investigated the regularities of the processes of collision of water droplets (characteristic parameters: radii 0.025–0.25 mm, velocities of motion 0.5–12 m/s, and relative concentration 0.001–0.0012 m3 of liquid droplets in 1 m3 of the gas) in their motion in a flow of high-temperature (about 1100 K) gases. The characteristic effects of collision of two droplets, at which combined droplets are formed (coagulation occurs) and conditions for spreading or fragmentation of the latter are implemented, have been singled out. The values of the Weber and Reynolds numbers for droplets before and after the collisions have been established. The infl uences of the velocities of motion, the dimensions, and the angles of intersection of mechanical trajectories of droplets on the effects of collisions have been determined.

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.

SIMULATION OF THE PROCESS OF ODORIZING A NATURAL GAS
A model of odorizing a natural gas is built on the basis of the system of motion of viscous, compressible, heatconducting, two-component medium with account for the odorant diffusion. Calculations of convective and diffusional mixing, in a channel, of a gaseous methane main flow interacting with its side jets containing an odorizing gas has been performed. The regimes of flow at different gas velocities in the main and side channels are considered, and the process of the equalization of the odorant concentration by convective and diffusional mechanisms are considered.

EVAPORATION OF WATER DROPLETS IN A HIGH-TEMPERATURE GASEOUS MEDIUM
A numerical solution of the problem of heat and mass transfer in evaporation of a droplet of water moving in a stream of high-temperature (up to 1200 K) gases is done on the basis of a system of nonlinear nonstationary partial differential equations describing conductive and radiative heat transfer in the droplet, as well as composite heat transfer at the ″liquid–gas″ interface. The values of the water evaporation rate have been determined. It is shown that the dependence of the evaporation rate on the droplet surface temperature has a nonlinear character. Characteristic relationships between the convective and radiative heat fluxes on the droplet surface (the radiative flux substantially exceeds the convective one; on decrease in the difference between the gas and droplet surface temperatures the  difference between the radiative and convective heat fluxes decreases), the lifetimes (total evaporation) of droplets, as well as of the temperature and concentration of steam and gases in the vicinity of droplets have been determined. The calculated characteristics of the water droplet evaporation under conditions of high temperatures of the gas medium differ considerably from those obtained within the framework of the "diffusional" model of evaporation. A comparison of the results of numerical simulation with the experimental data obtained with the use of high-velocity panoramic optical methods of visualization by ″tracing particles″ is carried out.

USE OF ORIENTED SPRAY NOZZLES TO SET THE VAPOR–AIR FLOW IN ROTARY MOTION IN THE SUPERSPRAY SPACE OF THE EVAPORATIVE CHIMNEY-TYPE TOWER
The present paper considers the problem of upgrading the thermal efficiency of chimney-type evaporative cooling towers due to the rotary motion of the vapor–air flow in the superspray space. To set the vapor–air flow in rotary motion, we propose to use the momentum of the sprayed water. It has been shown that the existing parameters of spray nozzles permit setting up to 30% of the water flow momentum in translatory motion, which is enough for changing considerably the aerodynamics of the vapor–air fl ow in the superspray space and improving the operation of the cooling tower. The optimal angle of axial inclination of the spray cone has been estimated. Recommendations are given and problems have been posed for engineering realization of the proposed technologies in a chimney-type cooling tower

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN AN EJECTION APPARATUS
The results of numerical simulation of heat and mass transfer in an ejection apparatus during condensation of vapor–gas mixture components on cold brine droplets are presented. The local parameters of working flows were determined by solving a system of differential heat transfer equations with account for the hydrodynamic pattern. Calculations were carried out on the assumption that the liquid spray is directed horizontally. The Stefan formula has been derived with reference to a spherical coordinate system. The results of calculation of heat and mass transfer rates with and without regard for steam condensation jointly with hydrocarbon vapors are compared and analyzed. Estimation of the effect exerted by the apparatus and drip pan walls on the general process of heat and mass transfer  was carried out. The results of simulation made it possible to quantitatively estimate the infl uence of the adopted thickness of the diffusional boundary layer on the vapor–air mixture cooling effect.

MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF THE THERMAL STATE OF AN ISOTHERMAL ELEMENT WITH ACCOUNT OF THE RADIANT HEAT TRANSFER BETWEEN PARTS OF A SPACECRAFT
A methodological approach to determination of the thermal state at a point on the surface of an isothermal element of a small spacecraft has been developed. A mathematical model of heat transfer between surfaces of intricate geometric confi guration has been described. In this model, account was taken of the external fi eld of radiant fluxes  and of the differentiated mutual infl uence of the surfaces. An algorithm for calculation of the distribution of the density of the radiation absorbed by surface elements of the object under study has been proposed. The temperature field on the lateral surface of the spacecraft exposed to sunlight and on its shady side has been calculated. By determining the thermal state of magnetic controls of the orientation system as an example, the authors have assessed the contribution of the radiation coming from the solar-cell panels and from the spacecraft surface.

PROBLEM OF BRIEF INTERACTION OF LIQUID AND AMORPHOUS BODIES
The author has proposed a model of brief interaction of liquid and amorphous bodies with boundary conditions of the third kind in the amorphous body without a convective mass flux. Consideration has been given to the thermophysical aspect of formation of the temperature sensation of a biomedical object (BMO) on contact with the liquid body with a different temperature. The procedure of short measurements in the stage of irregular thermal regime (pulse method) was applied to investigation of thermal activity of various anatomical sections of the BMO skin as a function of its temperature. It has been shown experimentally that thermal activity grows with temperature and is within 640–1800 J/(m2·K·s0.5). The total relative error of the method of thermal-activity measurements amounted to ~5%. It has been proposed that analytical calculation of the surface temperature of the BMO on contact be modeled as a combination of the temperatures in liquid and solid media by using the criterion of moisture-content percentage in the BMO.

MECHANOCHEMICAL TREATMENT, STRUCTURAL PECULIARITIES, PROPERTIES, AND REACTIVITY OF SHS SYSTEMS BASED ON NATURAL MATERIALS. 4. PRODUCTION OF SHS CERAMICS BASED ON MECHANOACTIVATED MATERIALS
The present paper considers the influence of mechanochemical treatment of minerals (quartz SiO2, calcite CaCO3, and wollastonite CaSiO3) used as components of the charge mixture for SH synthesis of ceramics with a high level of strength and thermal properties. A positive effect of using various modifi ers in mechanochemical treatment of minerals activating the combustion process has been established. Suitable selection of modifiers provides an increase in the strength of synthesized SHS composites due to the formation in the synthesis products of wollastonite, helenite, anorthite, and aluminum nitride, and the decrease in the heat conductivity is due to the formation of an ultraporous structure of specimens. It has been shown that by varying the composition of the charge from the used natural minerals and the conditions of their mechanochemical treatment with modifi ers, as well as the sizes of the synthesized specimen in the SHS regime, an object with high strength and thermal properties can be obtained.

SIMULATION OF THE TWO-DIMENSIONAL GASDYNAMIC, TEMPERATURE, AND CONCENTRATION FIELDS IN AN INJECTION REACTOR OF CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION FOR SYNTHESIS OF CARBON NANOTUBE ARRAYS
The two-dimensional axisymmetric gasdynamic, concentration, and heat fields arising in an injection reactor of chemical vapor deposition in the process of synthesis of arrays of carbon nanotubes in it from hydrocarbons and organometallic compounds were numerically simulated for the purpose of investigating the features of these fields. It was established that, even in the case of laminar flow of a gas mixture over the surface of a substrate positioned in this reactor, in it there arise vortices introducing a signifi cant heterogeneity into the gas flow. The influence of changes in the gasdynamic and temperature fields in the indicated reactor on the characteristics of an array of carbon nanotubes grown on the surface of the substrate was analyzed. Parametric calculations of the dependences of the velocity of the gas flow, the gas temperature, and the concentration of reagents in the reactor on the hydrocarbon flow rate, the temperature of the process, and the length of the injection needle have been performed. These calculations have shown that the regimes of heating and mixing of reagents in an injection reactor of chemical vapor deposition correspond to those of an ideal-mixing reactor. The results obtained can be used for determining the conditions necessary for the growth of homogeneous arrays of carbon nanotubes with a high rate on the surface of a substrate in a reactor of chemical vapor deposition.

TRANSPORT PROPERTIES OF A RAREFIED CH4–N2 GAS MIXTURE
The area of application of the rarefi ed neutral methane–nitrogen gas mixture is considered. Experimental data on the transport properties of this mixture and its components were analyzed and generalized on the basis of molecular-kinetic theory relations with the use of the potentials of pair uniform and cross interactions of CH4 and Nmolecules. The parameters of three spherical symmetric three-parameter m-6 Lennard-Jones interaction potentials with a repulsive branch of varying rigidity were determined with the use of the nonlinear weight method of least squares. Tables of reference data on the viscosity of the indicated mixture and the coefficients of interdiffusion of its components were calculated for the concentration range 0–1 at temperatures 100–1150 K. Estimates of the confidential errors in determining the properties of this mixture have been made with the use of the error matrix of parameters of the indicated potentials. The results of calculations were compared with the corresponding reference data obtained earlier for the CH4–N2 gas mixture.
