K. V. Dobrego, I. M. Kozlov, N. N. Gnezdilov, and E. S. Shmelev
UDC 536.46
The results of modeling of the combustion of a gas-air mixture in a closed volume fi lled with high-porosity medium have been given. A comparison of the calculation results to experimental data has shown their qualitative agreement.
It has been established that a quasistationary regime of propagation of the fl ame is possible in the case of fairly large relative length of the system and specifi c surface of the porous medium. Rapid deceleration of the fl ame is attributed
to the decrease in the area of its surface because of the quenching on the reactor walls and the intense heat exchange between the hot combustion products and the porous medium. Stabilization of the fl ame propagation occurs when the heat release in gaseous combustion and the heat loss during the heat exchange between the combustion products and the porous medium are approximately equal.
Keywords: porous medium, numerical modeling, stabilization of the fl ame, fl ame dynamics

UDC 536.46+622.276.6
The mechanisms of change in the pressure in an oil well in the process of combustion of a powder charge positioned at its bottom were investigated. A model of calculating the working process in a well by the heat exchange of it with the environment and the compressibility of the liquid in the well is proposed. It is shown that about one third of the energy of the powder is expended for the displacement of the liquid from the well. It has been established that the dependence of the maximum pressure in an oil well on the mass of a powder charge is common in character for charges of different types. The dynamic heads of a liquid in a well in the liquid-compression phase and in the phase of reciprocating movement of the liquid after the termination of the combustion of a powder charge were calculated.

UDC 532.546
Consideration is given to fi ltration under a Zhukovskii sheet pile through a ground layer underlain by a highly permeable head horizon the left semiinfi nite part of whose roof is modeled by an impermeable base. A study is made of the case of fl ow where the velocity at the end of the sheet pile is equal to infi nity and the fl ow rate takes on extremum values on both water-permeable portions of the boundary of the region of motion. Limiting cases of fl ow associated with the absence of upthrust and of an impermeable inclusion alike are noted, as is an adjacent scheme due to the absence of the two indicated extremum points. Solutions are given for two schemes of motion in a semiinverse formulation, with the classical Zhukovskii problem being the limiting case of one scheme. Distinctive
features of such models are noted. For investigation of these fl ows, use is made of a Polubarinova-Kochina method which allows exact analytical representations for motion elements. Results of numerical calculations and the analysis of the infl uence of all physical factors on fi ltration characteristics are given.

NANOSTRUCTURES
BROWNIAN DIFFUSION INSIDE A MICRON-SIZED DROPLET AND THE MORPHOLOGY OF ENSEMBLES OF NANOPARTICLES

S. P. Fisenko and Yu. A. Khodyko
UDC 536.423.4
Three types of morphologies of ensembles of nanoparticles inside the evaporating micron-sized droplet of a solution at a low pressure have been described on the basis of experimental and theoretical results. It has been shown that the basic processes inside the droplet that infl uence the morphology are the coalescence of nanoparticles and their Brownian diffusion. Parametrically, all the processes are infl uenced by the rate of evaporation of the droplet. It has been found that a higher-than-average concentration of nanoparticles at the droplet’s edge, which gives rise to
"hollow"-type structures of agglomerated nanoparticles, develops in rapid evaporation. It has been shown that the fi nal morphology of nanoparticles can be infl uenced by changing the viscosity of the solution droplet or the total pressure in the reactor.

The separation coeffi cient has been calculated for membranes with nanometer-size pores. In the calculations, account was taken of surface diffusion and of the dependence of the surface-diffusion coeffi cient on the surface coverage which was determined within the framework of the Langmuir isotherm describing competing adsorption.
An analytical solution of the problem has been obtained for mixture fl ow in single-layer membranes. It has been shown that in the case of a mixture we have the mutual infl uence of the components on the transfer even in the absence of their formal interaction. In ultrathin channels, there can be a situation where the character of separation of the components is reversed compared to that predicted in the model of free-molecular mixture fl ow.

It has been shown that the ability of carbon nanotubes for acidic modifi cation depends on the technological parameters of their formation, and
the effi ciency of the sorptive capacity volume of such nanotubes depends on their storage time. The possibility of using carbon materials from peat moss as effective enterosorbents has been considered.

A balance method is proposed for calculating the main characteristics of the cooling of the heat-releasing assemblies of light-water nuclear reactors in the case of repeated fl ooding of them at the bottom under the conditions of a maximum projected accident. The calculation data obtained by this method agree well with the corresponding results of experiments in the temperature range of up to 1200oC. The method proposed allows one not only to calculate the
parameters of the fl ooding of a heat-releasing assembly under the conditions of an accident, but also to estimate the fl ow rate of the water and the time, necessary for fl ooding of the fuel core of a power unit in the case of its damage that is not due to the breakage of a pipe-line.

G. V. Tkachenko and B. A. Uryukov
UDC 537.527
The conditions under which a sharp thermal layer boundary is formed around an electric arc burning in a cocurrent gas fl ow are considered. It is shown that this effect may be interpreted as a heat wave whose boundary represents a slight discontinuity across which there occurs a jump in the gradients of the thermodynamic properties of the medium, in particular, in the heat fl ux. In contrast to the heat wave investigated theoretically by Barenbladt and Zel’dovich, in the case at hand the gas stream entering into the thermal layer plays an important role. A self-similar solution of the problem is obtained on the assumption that electrical conductivity depends exponentially on the thermal potential.

UDC 539.2:541.18
It has been established that a shear fl ow of a micron interlayer of a petrolatum oil doped with a nematic liquid crystal or a surface-active substance (oleic acid) is non-Newtonian in character. This was explained by the existence of orientationally ordered near-wall layers on the substrate confi ning the indicated interlayer. The parameters of the structure of such a near-wall layer were estimated within the framework of the rheological model of a heterophase stratifi ed interlayer. It is shown that the thickness and molecular ordering of an interlayer of a petrolatum oil with a liquid-crystal additive are larger than those of an interlayer of this oil doped with a surface-active substance.
