Computation of the gas mass and heat fluxes in a rectangular channel in the free molecular regime

The problem of heat- and mass transfer in a long rectangular channel of a constant cross section is solved in the free molecular regime. The distributions of the mass flow rate and the heat flux vector over the channel cross section are calculated. The specific gas mass flux and heat flux are calculated. The results are compared with those obtained for nearly free molecular flows.     

Effects of inlet conditions on dynamics of a thermal pulse combustor

To increase the pulse combustor load, a higher amount of fuel-air mixture has to be supplied. This increases the flow rate or equivalently, the flow time is reduced. However, an increase in flow rate leads to an early extinction. This implies that obtaining pulsating combustion is difficult at higher loads. The objective of the present work is to explore the possibility of extending the regime of pulsating combustion at higher flow rates by preheating and diluting the reactants. In this work, the effects of preheating and dilution are examined by varying the inlet temperature and inlet fuel mass fraction. Varying these parameters, a map, presenting regime of pulsating combustion from steady combustion to extinction for each value of flow time considered, has been made. Lastly, Hopf bifurcation points of the system have been investigated by determining the eigenvalues of Jacobian matrix of the coupled non-linear system at the fixed point using a specialised package for bifurcation analysis, MATCONT. It has been found that at higher load, pulsating combustion can be achieved at higher inlet temperature and lower inlet fuel mass fraction. Comparing the Hopf points with mapping, it is found that existence of Hopf bifurcation agrees with the birth and death of pulsating combustion. The results indicate that altering the mixture condition at the inlet can be used for controlling chaos and stabilising periodic solutions in thermal pulse combustors and thus increase the range of pulsating combustion to higher power regimes.     

External and internal problems of modeling the heat and mass transfer coefficients at particles motion in liquids

An approach to the determination of the heat and mass transfer coefficients from dispersed particles by the development of the hydrodynamic analogy is considered. The equations for computing the heat and mass transfer coefficients in continuous phase at a laminar regime of the flow around solid particles as well as the mass transfer coefficients in droplets are obtained. Comparisons with the experimental data of different authors are presented.     

Mathematical modeling of rotation effects on conjugate heat and mass transfer at a high-enthalpy flow around a spherically blunted cone at incidence

Some methods of thermal regime control for three dimensional flows around a body due to the simultaneous impact of body rotation around the longitudinal axis, mass ablative surface, and heat transfer flow in the body shell material are considered. The solution to the dual formulation allows us to take into account the impact of nonisothermal shell wall on the characteristics of heat and mass transfer in the boundary layer. The effect of the body rotation and the injection of cooler gas on the characteristics of heat and mass exchange in a thermal protection material is analyzed.     

Thermal crisis of a vortex source in a real gas flowing into vacuum with heat supply under constant pressure

Thermal crisis of a vortex source at energy input under constant pressure is investigated. The energy release intensities per unit mass and per unit volume are analyzed for the case of the vortex source flow into vacuum (regime I). Analytical solutions for gasdynamic parameters and an algorithm for constructing the heat release intensity function for different variants of vortex sources are studied. Limitations on the extension of a constant-pressure interval are determined, and the dependences of the energy input area critical coordinates, critical temperature, and energy input parameters on the mass flow, gas circulation, and initial coordinate of the energy input area are obtained. A small correction to the gas specific heat with rising temperature and a significant correction to the specific heat at a stagnation temperature of 1000 K are considered.     

竖直圆管内超临界压力煤油传热特性实验研究

在压力2.5~4 MPa, 质量流量0.7~1.7 g/s, 热流密度0.06~1 MW/m2的实验条件下, 对煤油在内径1 mm, 长度300 mm竖直上升圆管内的流动与传热特性开展了实验研究, 并分析了传热系数随局部油温的变化及不同实验参数对传热的影响.结果表明, 超临界压力下煤油传热主要由自身物性和流动状态决定.超临界压力煤油传热过程大致可以分为3个区域:正常传热区传热强化区和传热恶化区.传热强化主要是湍流掺混增强和近壁面流体在拟临界温度附近物性剧烈变化的综合作用; 传热恶化则是因为壁温及近壁面流体温度远高于拟临界温度, 在近壁面发生了类似于亚临界状态下的“拟膜态沸腾”.      

Transitions between flow regimes of baroclinic flow in a rotating annulus of fluid

Baroclinic flow in a rotating annulus of fluid shows remarkable transitions of flow patterns as do Rayleigh–Benard convection and Taylor vortices. There are four flow regimes in two nondimensional parameter space, called a symmetric regime (Hadley regime), a steady wave regime (Rossby regime), a vacillating wave regime and a geostrophic turbulence regime. Laminar flow in a symmetric regime is formed between the balance of a horizontal pressure gradient force and a Coriolis torque (geostrophic balance), and this flow becomes unstable when one of the nondimensional parameters, the thermal Rossby number, becomes less than the critical value. In this paper, the characteristic features of the four flow regimes are reviewed including recent findings about the behavior of geostrophic turbulence.     

Heat conduction through narrow channels and phase separation of He II at zero gravity

We explain the heat flow properties of a system which works as a phase separator for superfluid helium at zero gravity. Differently from most previous work the flow of He II in a narrow slit between a helium bath and a vapour space (instead of a second He bath) is studied. Due to the Fountain effect most of the He II stays contained in the bath, and a small amount is evaporated to carry away the heat transported through the slit. The role of evaporation kinetics is discussed and its contribution, raising the heat flow resistance, is calculated. At higher heat flow there is a sharp transition to a different flow state, which we identify with the Gorter-Mellink regime where the supercomponent flows dissipatively and liquid enters into the vent line so that an additional heat exchanger is necessary for its evaporation. In this regime the mass and heat flow are still controlled by the applied pressure gradients or-important for practical use:-by varying the length of the slit.     

Multiple electrosprays generated from a single polycarbonate microstructured fibre

Electrospray ionization (ESI) has been invaluable to the mass spectrometric detection of biomolecules, due largely to the sensitivity afforded by the ionization technique. Lower flow rates, e.g. in the nanoelectrospray regime, result in smaller initial electrosprayed droplets, leading to higher ionization efficiency and greater signal. One approach to improving sensitivity without lowering flow rate is to generate multiple electrosprays (MESs) from the same sample, essentially splitting one larger flow into smaller flows in the nanoESI regime. Presented here is a series of novel MES emitters in the form of polycarbonate fibres. Based on microstructured fibre (MSF) technology whereby a set of homogeneous parallel channels are formed in a heat-drawn fibre intended to conduct light, a custom design was fabricated in which 3, 6, 9 and 12 holes were arranged in a radial pattern to prevent inhomogeneities in the electric field. The MSFs have dimensions that are compatible with current standards in nanoESI equipment, and the tip is more compatible with standard MS orifices than other larger multielectrospray emitters. By measuring the spray current provided by the various emitters under the same solvent/voltage/total flow rate conditions, a plot was obtained clearly demonstrating the expected dependence on the square root of the number of holes, i.e. the number of independent electrosprays. With this firm proof of principle using this design/format, further effort is justified in developing similar emitters in alternative materials that better prevent surface wetting and allow greater hole density, ultimately leading to greater signal enhancement.     

粗糙度与气体稀薄性对微尺度流动特性的影响

对氮气和氦气在粗糙微通道以及光滑微通道内流动进行了阻力特性实验研究。实验结果表明,即使在较小的相对粗糙度高度下,由于微通道中的粗糙度分布密集,会极大地增加流动阻力,这是导致文献中微通道流动阻力系数实验值相互偏差的主要原因之一;而对于滑移区的气体流动,气体稀薄性使流动阻力明显减小而导致流量增加。     

Flow separation behind a rib in a channel with laminar flow

Visualization data and results of combined measurements of flow quantities in flow with separation past a rib at nominally laminar regime of channel flow are reported. In the separation region, the flow is found to be essentially three-dimensional and unsteady, exhibiting a distinct cellular structure and flow zones with transverse motion. It is shown that the rib-induced flow separation gives rise to low-frequency fluctuations of flow velocity and initiates the turbulence transition in the channel flow. The critical Reynolds number at which flow instability starts developing in the channel is estimated. It is shown that at Reynolds numbers higher than the critical Reynolds number the linear integral scale of flow velocity fluctuations in the channel is defined by the duct size.

Mixed-mode oscillations in a homogeneous pH-oscillatory chemical reaction system

We examine experimentally a chemical system in a flow-through stirred reactor, which is known to provide large-amplitude oscillations of the pH value. By systematic variation of the flow rate, we find that the system displays hysteresis between a steady state and oscillations, and more interestingly, a transition to chaos involving mixed-mode oscillations. The basic pattern of the measured pH in the mixed-mode regime includes a large-scale peak followed by a series of oscillations on a much smaller scale, which are usually highly irregular and of variable duration. The bifurcation diagram shows that chaos sets in via a period-doubling route observed on the large-amplitude scale, but simultaneously small-amplitude oscillations are involved. Beyond the apparent accumulation of period doubling bifurcations, a mixed-mode regime with irregular oscillations on both scales is observed, occasionally interrupted by windows of periodicity. As the flow rate is further increased, chaos turns into quasiperiodicity and later to a simple small-amplitude periodic regime. Dynamics of selected typical regimes were examined with the tools of nonlinear time-series analysis, which include phase space reconstruction of an attractor and calculation of the maximal Lyapunov exponent. The analysis points to deterministic chaos, which appears via a period doubling route from below and via a route involving quasiperiodicity from above, when the flow rate is varied.     

Quasi-one-dimensional nonstationary temperature field of a turbulent flow in a well

A model of a temperature field of a turbulent flow in a well is developed using ??on the average exact?? asymptotic method. It is shown that a zero-order approximation describes an averaged temperature value over a well cross-section and does not depend on the flow regime, the turbulent regime contribution is taken into account by the first asymptotic expansion coefficient.     

Chaotic mixing in a steady flow in a microchannel

We report experiments on mixing of a passively advected fluorescent dye in a low Reynolds number flow in a microscopic channel. The channel is a chain of repeating segments with a custom designed profile that generates a steady three-dimensional flow with stretching and folding, and chaotic mixing. A few statistical characteristics of mixing in the flow are studied and are all found to agree with theoretical and experimental results for the flows in the Batchelor regime of mixing that are chaotic in time. The proposed microchannel provides fast and efficient mixing and is simple to fabricate.     

Etude expérimentale du fonctionnement au sol d'une boucle diphasique à ammoniac en vue d'une régulation thermique en milieu spatial

Experimental terrestrial study of an ammonia two-phase loop for thermal control in spatial environment. This paper presents the terrestrial test results of a mechanically pumped two-phase fluid loop, using ammonia as the working fluid. The 600 W experimental set-up (main components, instrumentation) is described. The two-phase flow patterns observed are compared with several flow regime maps. The experimental results are in good agreement with the predictions of Taitel and Dukler. The condensation lengths and the mean heat transfer coefficients of the condenser are given. The friction pressure gradients of adiabatic two-phase flow increases with mass flow rate and quality. The wall temperatures and heat transfer coefficients of the evaporator show the influence of the liquid distribution on the heat transfer : it is better at the top than at the bottom of the tube and at the ends than in the center part of the evaporator. The best evaporation coefficients are obtained with high mass flow rates and low qualities. The results obtained show the good operation of the system.     

Orientation distribution of fibres in a channel flow of fibre suspension

The orientation and concentration distributions of fibres in laminar and turbulent channel flows are investigated numerically. The obtained results are in good agreement with the experimental data. In the laminar flow regime, more fibres orient to the flow direction as the Reynolds number increases. The shear rate of fluid around a fibre plays an important role in determining the orientation distribution of fibres, while the fibre density and the fibre aspect-ratio have marginal influence on the orientation distribution. In the turbulent regime, the orientation distribution of fibres becomes more homogeneous with the increase of Reynolds number, and the concentration profile is flatter than that in the laminar regime. The fluctuating intensity of fibre velocity in the downstream direction is larger than that in the lateral directions.     

Analytical solution of the equations of the physical theory of meteors for a single (non-fragmenting) body with mass loss in a non-isothermal (arbitrary) atmosphere with a variable ablation parameter

We have obtained an analytical solution of two simultaneous ordinary differential equations of the physical theory of meteors: the equation of motion for the center of mass of a meteoroid (deceleration equation), the thermal balance equation (ablation equation), the luminosity equation, and the ionization trail equation. The solution has been obtained by assuming a straight-line trajectory and a power-law dependence of the ablation parameter on the meteoroid velocity for an arbitrary atmosphere in the continuous flow regime.     

Aerodynamic design of a supersonic three-dimensional inlet

The results of designing and numerical gas-dynamic modeling a supersonic three-dimensional inlet of a new type are considered. A ramp of external compression of this inlet is the V-shaped body forming an initial plane oblique shock wave and a subsequent isentropic compression wave. The inlet incorporates an entrance section of internal compression, where also a plane oblique shock wave and a subsequent isentropic compression wave are formed by a cowl. The designed three-dimensional inlet has small inclination angles of compression surfaces, which ensures its low wave drag. According to the estimates of inlet efficiency in terms of the compression ratio and the total pressure recovery factor, it is close to the optimal two-dimensional shocked inlet of external compression considered by Oswatisch as well as Petrov and Ukhov. The flow in the inlet was computed with the use of the Euler and Navier — Stokes codes provided by the commercial package “FLUENT”. The flow in the inlet throat in the design regime computed under the inviscid flow approximation is uniform. The most substantial effect of the flow viscosity in this regime manifests itself in the interaction of the shock wave from the cowl with the boundary layer on the V-shaped compression body in the inlet internal duct. According to computed data, the boundary layer separation does not occur in this case; however, due to viscosity effects, reflected shock waves are formed here which results in significant deviations of flow structure as compared to the computed inviscid flow.
