UDC 636.7 (075.8)
A simplifi ed method of calculating the concentrations of the components of a thermodynamically equilibrium mixture (a synthesis gas) supplied to the anode channel of a battery of solid oxide fuel cells and the change in these concentrations along the indicated channel is proposed and results of corresponding calculations are presented. The variants of reforming of a natural gas (methane) by air and steam as well as by a part of the exhaust combustion products for obtaining a synthesis gas are considered. The amount of the anode gases that should be returned for the complete chemical regeneration of the gases burnt in the fuel cells was determined. The dependence of the electromotive force of an ideal oxide fuel element (the electric circuit of which is open) on the degree of absorption of oxygen in a thermodynamically equilibrium fuel mixture was calculated.

Systematizing the partial solutions of the nonstationarity heat conduction problem of a fl at wall in comparison with the general asymptotic solution of this problem, we have found the transverse temperature distributions with any monotone change in the ambient conditions and elucidated the heat conduction properties of the wall under these conditions. The asymptotic solution is given by semiconvergent series and defi nite integrals and has been investigated for power time dependences with an exponent of 0–2, which has enabled us to justify the concept of quasi-stationarity of the thermal parameters of the wall and obtain asymptotic errors and corrections defi ning the deviations of these parameters from their stationary values. The features of the average heat fl ows most resistant to thermal disturbances as to both time and amplitude have been considered.

K. O. Sabdenov, T. M. Baitasov, and M. Erzada
The temperature regime inside a building has been calculated. It has been established that the presence of a lateral pipeline at the heat point ensures such a value of the mixing coeffi cient at which a constant comfortable temperature of 24oC is attained. When this pipeline is absent, the comfortable temperature may not be attained at any values of the mixing coeffi cient. Consideration has been given to the problem on determination of the optimum dependence of the average velocity of the heat-transfer agent in the heating system on the mixing coeffi cient. The notion of an ideal temperature chart has been introduced.
Keywords: optimization of heat supply, heat point, system of heating of a building, mixing of the heat-transfer agent, optimum mixing coeffi cient, temperature chart.

A method of determining the change in the fi ltration properties of oil-bearing crops in the process of their pressing by repeated dynamic loading is proposed. The use of this method is demonstrated by the example of rape-oil extrusion. It was established that the change in the mass concentration of the oil in a rape mix from 0.45 to 0.23 leads to a decrease in the permeability of the mix by 101.5–102 times depending on the pressure applied to it. It is shown that the dependence of the permeability of this mix on the pressure applied to it is nonmonotone in character.

Consideration is given to a conjugate problem of heat exchange between the imperfect gas in a well and the environment (rocks). This problem is reduced to solution of differential equations describing nonisothermal gas fl ow in the well and the propagation of heat in the rocks. The dependence of the coeffi cient of heat exchange of the gas with the hydrate layer on the time-varying fl ow area is taken account of in aquasistationary mathematical model of formation (dissociation) of hydrates in the gas well. It is shown that in the conjugate formulation of the problem, the time of formation of hydrate plugs grows substantially in contrast to the case where the rock temperature is assumed to be constant.

HEAT TRANSFER AND FORMATION OF TURBULENCE IN AN INTERNAL SWIRLING FLUID FLOW AT LOW REYNOLDS NUMBERS

O. V. Matvienko
Results of investigations of the structure of swirling fl uid fl ow in a channel, and also of the parameters of turbulence of the fl ow and heat transfer in it at low Reynolds numbers, have been presented. It has been established that a moderate swirl of the fl ow at the channel wall under the action of a centrifugal force gives rise to turbulent disturbances in this fl ow region and that the formation of turbulent pulsations of the fl uid in the vicinity of the channel axis is hindered by the initiation of reverse fl ows and by the conservatism of the action of the centrifugal force on the parameters of turbulence of the fl uid. It has been shown that heat transfer in the swirling fl uid fl ow depends on the integral intensity of the swirl and on the mode of organization of the rotation of the fl uid. It has been established that the heat transfer of the fl ow with a constant swirl angle is higher than that of the fl ow swirled by the law of revolution of a rigid body.

The effects of viscous dissipation with transient laminar free convection from a nonisothermal vertical cone at a wall surface temperature varying as a power function of the distance from the apex are considered. The fl uid is assumed to be viscous and incompressible. The nondimensional governing equations of the fl ow are unsteady, coupled, and nonlinear partial differential equations, which are solved with the use of an effi cient, accurate, and unconditionally stable fi nite difference scheme of the Crank–Nicolson type. The velocity and temperature profi les are obtained and analyzed to reveal the effect of viscous dissipation at various values of the Prandtl number and the exponent in the power law variation of the surface temperature. The local as well as average skin friction and Nusselt number are presented and analyzed. The present results are compared with available ones from the literature and are found to be in good agreement.

SIMILARITY SOLUTIONS FOR THE FLOW BEHIND AN EXPONENTIAL SHOCK IN A ROTATING NONIDEAL GAS WITH HEAT CONDUCTION AND RADIATION HEAT FLUXES
UDC 533.6
K. K. Singh and B. Nath
A self-similar solution for the propagation of a shock wave driven by a cylindrical piston moving according to exponential temporal law in a nonideal rotating gas with heat conduction and radiation heat fl uxes is investigated. The density and angular velocity of the ambient medium are assumed to be constant. Heat conduction is expressed in terms of the Fourier law, and radiation is considered to be of diffusion type for an optically thick gray gas model. The thermal conductivity and absorption coeffi cient are assumed to vary with temperature and density. Similarity solutions are obtained, and the effects of variations in the heat transfer parameters and gas nonidealness on the fl ow variables in the region behind the shock are investigated.
Keywords: similarity solutions, nonideal gas, rotating medium, exponential shock wave, heat transfer effects.

KINETIC THEORY OF TRANSFER PROCESSES

ANALYTICAL SOLUTION OF THE COUETTE FLOW PROBLEM FOR ARBITRARY VALUES OF THE KNUDSEN NUMBER
UDC 533.72
S. V. Gulakova and V. N. Popov

An analytical (in the form of the Neumann series) solution of the Couette fl ow problem has been constructed with the use of the kinetic approach. For the basic equation the Williams equation was used, and for the boundary condition on the channel walls the mirror-diffuse model was applied. With account for the constructed distribution function the value of the gas mass fl ow per unit width of the channel through its upper half has been calculated and a viscous stress tensor component other than zero has been found. A comparison with analogous results obtained by numerical methods has been made.

Keywords: kinetic Boltzmann equation, model kinetic equations, exact analytical solutions, gas fl ow in channels, Couette flow.

S. A. Isaev,a P. A. Baranov,b Yu. V. Zhukova,c A. E. Usachov,d and V. B. Kharchenkoe

The necessity of correcting differential semiempirical turbulence models to calculate circulating fl ows of an incompressible viscous fl uid is discussed. Approaches to taking account of the infl uence of the curvature of streamlines on turbulence characteristics arereviewed. Experience gained in modeling numerically twodimensional separated fl ows in a square and a cylindrical cavity on the wall of a plane-parallel channel is analyzed; an additional semiempirical constant in the expression for vortex viscosity of a modifi ed shear-stress-transfer model is substantiated.

Keywords: separated fl ows, incompressible viscous fl uid, turbulence, cavity, multiblock grids, turbulence models,
Reynolds-averaged nonsteady Navier–Stokes equations, Mentershear-stress-transfer model, correction for the
