METHODS OF EMERGENCY HEAT REMOVAL FROM POOLS AND STORAGES OF SPENT FUEL OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS
In the paper, consideration is given to possible methods of heat removal from water pools and storages of spent nuclear fuel of atomic power plants, which can be employed in an emergency due to failure of the regular cooling system of the pool. The authors present results of investigation of two passive methods of emergency cooling of spentfuel water pools: the fi rst method is to use emergency accumulator reservoirs with a cooling-water supply, and the
second, to use boiling channels whose action is based on the effect of creating driving head in the emergency system
of natural circulation of the cooling pond of the coolant.

THE POSSIBILITY OF CONVERTING ENERGY IN SPACE WITH THE AID OF A CHAIN HEAT MACHINE OPERATING ON METHANE AND NITROGEN
An analysis has been made of the useful mechanical work done in space with the aid of a heat machine, in which the
working body consists of liquids with a superlow boiling temperature (methane and nitrogen). The use of nitrogen
and methane is facilitated by the low temperature of the cosmic background radiation making it possible to cool
nitrogen and methane to very low temperatures. The investigation is carried out on the basis of modeling the chain
heat machine consisting of two units. The setting of the stationary regime of machine operation takes several hours.
The scattering of energy into the outer space requires a condenser of large area.

FEATURES OF GRAVITATIONAL FLOW OF HEATED AIR IN AN EXHAUST SHAFT ABOVE A MULTIROW FINNED BANK
The authors have carried out investigations into the introduction of hot-air heating systems in buildings and
structures, and also the applicability of mixed convection in calorifers of recirculating air heaters. The heat transfer
of two- and four-row staggered air-heater banks consisting of bimetallic fi nned tubes in mixed convection has been
studied. Experimental investigations into the characteristics of a gravitational fl ow of heated air in an exhaust shaft
above a heat-exchange bank in a mixed-convection regime have been presented. An increase of 1.5–3 times in the
heat transfer in the mixed-convection regime compared to the heat transfer under conditions of free convection of the
air has been established. The dynamics of motion of a geyser fl ow of heated air in the exhaust shaft above the heatexchange bank under gravity has been described. A decline of 20–50% in the heat transfer of staggered two- and
four-row banks because of the presence of geyser air fl ows has been established. A method to diminish the adverse
impact of geyser air fl ows on the heat transfer of the bank has been proposed.

NONSTATIONARY HEAT CONDUCTION IN A CURVILINEAR PLATE WITH ACCOUNT OF SPATIAL NONLOCALITY
At the present time, an important stage in the creation and use of new structurally sensitive materials is the
construction of mathematical models allowing one to describe the behavior of these materials in a wide range of
variation of external effects. In this work, a model of heat conduction in structurally sensitive materials is suggested
that accounts for the nonlocality of the medium over the space and the curvature of the plate. With the use of the
integrointerpolation method, a difference scheme is constructed and a numerical solution of the problem of highly
intense surface heating is found. The infl uence of the nonlocality and plate curvature parameters on temperature
distribution has been investigated.

APPLICATION OF DUAL INTEGRAL EQUATIONS IN HEAT EQUATION FOR UNBOUNDED PLATE
An analytical solution to a two-dimensional nonstationary nonhomogeneous heat equation in axially symmetrical
cylindrical coordinates for an unbounded plate subjected to mixed boundary conditions of the fi rst and second kinds
has been obtained. The application of the Laplace transform (L-transform) and the separation of variables result in
the solution to the initial mixed boundary-value problem as the solution to a pair of dual integral equations (DIEs)
with an unknown function dependent on the L-transform parameter. The DIEs solution is proposed by using the
known discontinuous integrals and an infi nite series method. The Green’s function is used to determine the solution
to the nonhomogeneous part of the problem.

Consideration is given to separation-free plane fl ow in a boundary layer developing on a smooth diffuser wall under the action of a pressure gradient p(x), where both quantities dp/dx and d2
p/dx2

FLOW IN THE NOZZLE OF AN ALTERNATING-CURRENT PLASMA GENERATOR WITH A NONSTATIONARY LOCAL ENERGY SUPPLY
A numerical simulation of gas fl ows in the nozzle of an alternating-current plasma generator with a nonstationary
local energy supply has been performed. The nonstationary gas fl ows in the plasma-generator nozzle with a highpower energy supply were simulated using the fi nite-volume method and the vectorized approach to the calculation
of fl ows. Results of numerical simulation of the one-dimensional and two-dimensional gas fl ows in the nozzle of an
alternating-current plasma generator with a moving energy-supply zone are presented. On the basis of the numericalsimulation data obtained, a quantitative analysis of the gasdynamic and thermal processes occurring in the nozzle
of such a generator with a nonstationary energy supply to the gas fl ow in it has been performed. The dependence of
the rate of an overexpanded gas fl ow in the plasma-generator nozzle and the shift of a compression shock in it on the
power and cyclicity of the energy supply to the subsonic section of the nozzle was determined.

and experimental modeling are given, in particular, for the gas temperature and pressure in the course of experiments.
A mathematical and a physical models have been developed, and closely coinciding numerical and experimental

MODELING NONSTATIONARY GAS-FREE COMBUSTION PROCESSES WITH ACCOUNT OF SAMPLE STRUCTURE HETEROGENEITY
A model of nonstationary gas-free combustion has been formulated with account for the structure heterogeneity
and for the temperature dependence of diffusion with the use of two models of reaction cells: plane and spherical
ones. Numerical simulation of the propagation of the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) wave and
a comparative analysis of the SHS wave propagation velocity was carried out with the use of two models of reaction
cells. The numerical investigations have shown that with the use of the model of spherical reaction cells the SHS
wave propagation velocity is higher than for plane cells by 1.7 times. Dependences of the rate of combustion on the
characteristic value of the heterogeneous structure of a sample have been obtained. The computational–theoretical
values of the SHS wave propagation velocity coincide with good accuracy with experimental data in a wide range of
the dimension of the heterogeneous structure of SHS.

REGIMES OF COMBUSTION OF GASLESS SYSTEMS WITH A MELTING COMPONENT IN A STRONG-INSTABILITY REGION
A numerical investigation of the infl uence of the thermocapillary fl ow of a melt of an inert component of a gasless
mixture on spin regimes of combustion in a strong-instability region has been carried out. New periodic regimes
of spin combustion have been found. With increase in the velocity of melt fl ow, the stabilization of combustion, i.e.,
transition from spin regimes to a quasi-one-dimensional structure of the combustion wave, occurs.

INTERACTION OF A LIQUID AEROSOL WITH THE COMBUSTION FRONT OF A FOREST COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF COUNTERCURRENT AIR FLOW
Experimental investigations on the characteristic times of suppression of the fl ame combustion and thermal
decomposition of wastes of coniferous and deciduous forest trees under the action of a liquid aerosol have been
performed. As forest combustible materials, birch leaves and a mixture of components of a forest ground cover (leaves,
needles, twigs) were used. Three schemes of interaction of a water droplet fl ow with a forest combustible material
in the process of its burning were considered: the fi rst scheme in which a material is preliminary moistened by the
water sprayed upstream of its combustion front, the second scheme in which a liquid aerosol is supplied directly to
the combustion front, and the third combined scheme in which water is sprayed upstream of the combustion front and
over it. The infl uence of a favoring and an adverse air fl ows on the termination of combustion of a model fi re hotbed
was investigated. The conditions of spraying of water over forest combustible materials, providing the suppression
of their fl ame combustion and thermal decomposition, were determined.

POWER-LAW FLUID FLOW IN A T-SHAPED CHANNEL UNDER THE ACTION OF ASSIGNED PRESSURE DROP
Plane non-Newtonian incompressible fl uid fl ow in a T-shaped channel is considered. The effective viscosity is
determined according to the Ostwald–de Waele law. The fl uid moves under the action of the given pressure drop
in the boundary sections of the channel. The no-slip condition is fulfi lled on the solid walls. The problem is solved
numerically by the control volume method with the use of the SIMPLE procedure. As a result of the investigation
carried out, the characteristic fl ow regimes have been revealed. The infl uence of the basic parameters of the problem
on the fl ow pattern has been demonstrated, and the dimensionless relations of fl ow characteristics have been
constructed.

MATHEMATICAL SIMULATION OF THE HEAT AND MASS EXCHANGE IN THE PROCESS OF CONVECTIVE-RADIANT HEATING OF A BLUNT-NOSED BODY
A numerical analysis of the nonstationary heat and mass exchange in the heat-resistant composite material (a
carbon-fi lled plastic), forming a cover of the conic part of a blunt-nosed body exposed repeatedly to a pulsed laser
radiation, has been performed on the basis of the heat model of destruction of such a material. Different regimes of
thermochemical destruction of the carbon-fi lled plastic due to the action of a moderate-intensity laser radiation on it
under the conditions where the porous material of the spherical bluntness of the body is not melted were determined.
It was established that the gaseous products of pyrolysis of the carbon material as well as its condensed-phase
particles and vapor play a dominant role in the shielding of the surface of the conic part of the body from the laser
radiation

INJECTION OF A COLD GAS INTO A SNOW MASS PARTIALLY SATURATED WITH THIS GAS WITH HYDRATE FORMATION
The problem on the injection of a cold gas into a snow mass partially saturated with this gas, accompanied by
hydrate formation, was solved numerically. The case where the rate of hydrate formation is limited by the diffusion
of the gas through the hydrate layer, formed between the gas and ice phases, to the ice–hydrate contact boundary was
considered. The formation of a hydrate by the equilibrium scheme, in accordance with which the state of the initial
gas–snow system changes in the process of injection of a gas into it in line with the phase-equilibrium curve of the
gas–snow–hydrate system, was investigated. It was established that, in the case of complete transformation of the
show in a snow mass into the hydrate state in the process of hydrate formation in it under equilibrium conditions, in
the snow mass there appears a moving boundary separating it into two zones: a zone saturated with the gas and the
hydrate and a zone in which snow, the gas, and the hydrate are present at the same time.

IONIC-ELECTROSTATIC MODEL OF THE WEDGE PRESSURE AND SPECIFIC AREA OF COLLOIDAL SYSTEMS
A physically substantiated ionic-electrostatic model of the wedge pressure by Deryagin, modifi ed for defi nition of the
water retentivity of natural and artifi cial colloidal dispersions with a variable moisture content (soils, grounds, clay
minerals, wood, caustobioliths, synthetic polymeric hydrogels), is considered. In this model, the relation between
the moisture content and dispersivity (effective specifi c area) of a colloidal system serves as a phase variable. For
the fi rst time, with the use of the sorption-equilibrium, moisture-thermodesorption, and equilibrium-centrifugation
methods, wedge-pressure isotherms, representing the dependence of the thermodynamic moisture potential (specifi c
Gibbs energy) of a material on the mass fraction of moisture in it, were obtained for materials different in genesis and
dispersivity, whose thermodynamic moisture potential varies in absolute value within the wide range 0.1–260 kJ/kg,
and the wedge pressure of colloid-bonded disperse systems was quantitatively estimated with regard for the variable
factors (temperature, composition, liquid-phase concentration) of the aggregative stability of their colloidal complex
determining the phenomenon of dynamics of the dispersivity and water retentivity of such systems. A methodology of
calculating the effective specifi c area of a material by the slope of its wedge-pressure isotherms, constructed at the
logarithmic scale, is proposed as an alternative to the standard Brunauer–Emmett–Teller method. The new method
is close to the traditional one in the specifi c area of a material obtained with them, but the method proposed differs
favorably from the standard method by the temperature invariance and the possibility of calculating the energy of
interphase interactions in the material with the use of the generalized Hamaker constant.

MODELING OF THE PROCESS OF ADSORPTION OF GASES IN PACKED COLUMNS AND TUBULAR ABSORBERS
Mathematical models of the processes of heat and mass transfer in packed columns and tubular absorbers have been constructed. A numerical calculation of the effi ciency of SO2 absorption by water in packed columns and hollow jet scrubbers has been carried out, and a distinct advantage of the packed columns over the indicated scrubbers has been established in both the effi ciency of extraction of the target gas components by the absorbent and the overall dimensions of the apparatuses. Calculations of the CO2 absorption have been carried out, and a comparison of the
effi ciency and energetics of direct-fl ow and counterfl ow packed columns has been made for different dimensions
of packing elements. In modeling the process of adsorption in a packed column, use was made of the existing
empirical data in the volume mass transfer in granular beds and of the theoretical representation of the masstransfer coeffi cient for fi lm fl ow. A comparison of calculation results in these two cases has shown their complete
agreement, in practice. Heat and mass transfer in a tubular absorber was described by the fi lm mechanism in two
cases: where the entire free cross-sectional area is open and where only the inner cross section of a cylindrical tube
is open. A comparison has been made of the results of calculations of heat and mass transfer in packed columns and
tubular absorbers under relevant conditions. The proposed models can be used for engineering and optimization
calculations of industrial packed columns and tubular absorbers.

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THERMAL AND HYDRAULIC PERFORMANCE OF A PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER USING NANOFLUIDS
Gasketed plate heat exchangers (PHEs) occupy a crucial position in the energy sector due to their effi cient and compact design. A number of studies have focused on making the plate heat exchangers more effi cient and compact, since energy usage increases day by day. Therefore, the idea of utilizing nanofl uids, whose thermophysical properties are better than those of industrial fl uids, have drawn the attention of researchers. An experimental setup was designed and constructed at the TOBB ETU Heat Exchangers Laboratory to investigate the effect of utilizing nanofl uids in a plate heat exchanger. The experiments were performed with three different working fl uids, namely, tap water and 1 and 0.5 wt.% Al2O3/water nanofl uids in a hot cycle. For all cases, the fl ow rates were 100–450 L/h, and the
experiments were repeated three times for accuracy. As a result of this study, new correlations for the Nusselt number
and heat transfer enhancement rates were obtained. Moreover, the friction factor correlations were found for all
cases, and the effect of nanofl uids on the pressure drop has been revealed.

calculations by different methods (theoretical, semiempirical, and empirical) has been noted; boundary values of
parameters in the Anan′ev, Boiko, and Kruzhilin semiempirical dependences have been substantiated, at which there
is a good agreement between the experiments on condensation of vapors of many substances and calculations from
the formulas of these authors. A semiempirical dependence has been given to calculate condensation heat transfer
