Simulation by a source of a thin jet from a body

An exact analytic solution is found to the following plane hydrodynamic problem. An unbounded flow of an ideal incompressible fluid flows around a plate BB' placed at right angles to the velocity vector of the flow at infinity. The pressure on the free boundary P is equal to the pressure in the flow. From an opening in the center of the plate, a jet with flow rate Q from a cavity with pressure P₀ encounters the flow head-on. As a result of the solution, it is found that for fixed width of the opening the values of Q allowed by the scheme are limited. In the limiting case Q = 0 Chaplygin's flow is obtained with stagnation region at the front [1], and in the limiting case Q = Q_max a jet out of a cavity with pressure P₀ into a cavity with pressure P. As Q varies in this interval, the total drag, regarded as the drag of the plate and the chamber from which the jet emerges, takes a minimal value at a certain point. If the width of the opening tends to the length of the slab, the problem of the collision of two jets is obtained; if the width of the opening tends to zero (Q o), the problem of jet flow past a slab with a source is obtained. It is shown that the replacement of the jet by the source gives a good approximation in both the sense of the force characteristics and in the sense of the behavior of the free streamlines.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Hekhanika Shidkosti i Gaza, No. 5, pp. 47–54, September–October, 1979.We thank L.

Heat transfer during gas hydrate formation in gas-liquid slug flow

A model of heat transfer during gas hydrate formation at a gas-liquid interface in gas-liquid slug flow is suggested. Under the assumption of perfect mixing in liquid plugs, the recurrent relations for temperature in then-th liquid plug and heat and mass fluxes from then-th gas slug are derived. Total mass and heat fluxes in gas-liquid slug flow during gas hydrate formation are determined.     

Cell model of nonisothermal gas absorption in gas-liquid bubbly media

A model for combined mass and heat transfer during nonisothermal gas absorption in a two-phase gasliquid bubbly medium with a high gas content and/or large times of gas-liquid contact is suggested. Diffusion and thermal interactions between bubbles is taken into account in the approximation of a cellular model of a bubbly medium whereby a bubbly medium is viewed as a periodic structure consisting of identical spherical cells with periodic boundary conditions at a cell boundary. Distribution of concentration of dissolved gas, temperature distribution in liquid and coefficients of mass and heat transfer during nonisothermal absorption of a soluble pure gas from a bubble by liquid are determined. In the limiting case of absorption without heat release the derived formulas recover the expressions for isothermal absorption.     

Mass and heat transfer during solid sphere dissolution in a non-uniform fluid flow

We studied a nonisothermal dissolution of a solvable solid spherical particle in an axisymmetric non-uniform fluid flow when the concentration level of the solute in the solvent is finite (finite dilution of solute approximation). It is shown that simultaneous heat and mass transfer during solid sphere dissolution in a uniform fluid flow, axisymmetric shear flow, shear-translational flow and flow with a parabolic velocity profile can be described by a system of generalized equations of convective diffusion and energy. Solutions of diffusion and energy equations are obtained in an exact analytical form. Using a general solution the asymptotic solutions for heat and mass transfer problem during spherical solid particle dissolution in a uniform fluid flow, axisymmetric shear flow, shear-translational flow and flow with parabolic velocity profile are derived. Theoretical results are in compliance with the available experimental data on falling urea particles dissolution in water and for solid sphere dissolution in a shear flow.     

Negative-muon capture in <Superscript>150</Superscript>Sm

The energy and time spectra of γ rays emitted during negative-muon capture in ¹⁵⁰Sm were studied. The total muon lifetime in ¹⁵⁰Sm was measured. The yields of several radioactive isotopes in this reaction were determined. The partial γ-ray yield upon muon capture by a ¹⁵⁰Sm nucleus were measured.
