Hydrodynamic resistance of a spheroidal particle with uniform internal heat release

The Stokes approximation is used to describe the stationary motion of a heated hydrosol spheroidal particle in a viscous incompressible liquid in which internal, uniformly distributed heat sources (sinks) of constant capacity act. It was assumed that the average particle surface temperature could differ significantly from the temperature of the ambient liquid. An analytical expression for the hydrodynamic force acting on the uniformly heated spheroidal particle was obtained by solving hydrodynamic equations with the temperature dependence of the viscosity represented as an exponential power series.
