We developed a mathematical model for determining the parameters of mass transfer in the compressor chambers during the processes of compression and discharge. The mass flow rates through the end and radial gaps were determined. Also we analyzed the processes of mass transfer in a clamped volume. We investigated the influence of the number of vanes on the compressor efficiency, taking into account changes in the compressor geometric parameters. We established that overflows through the end surfaces of rotor mainly affect the compressor performance. In order to reduce overflows during the period of discharge, it was proposed to increase the angle of closure of the discharge window at a fixed angle of its opening. The mathematical model allows one to make recommendations on the choice of the optimal number of vanes for a particular design.

Разработана математическая модель и численный метод расчета динамики тепломассопереноса, фазовых превращений и усадки при сушке коллоидных капиллярно-пористых тел цилиндрической формы в условиях равномерного обдува теплоносителем. Математическая модель строилась на базе дифференциального уравнения переноса субстанции (энергии, массы, импульса) в деформируемых системах. Проведены экспериментальные исследования кинетики обезвоживания частиц энергетической вербы в потоке воздуха с целью верификации математической модели. Обоснована возможность ее использования для расчета совместных процессов сушки и начального этапа термического разложения биомассы. С использованием ранее полученных данных по значениям энергии активации Аэф(Т) для различных видов биомассы проведено математическое моделирование динамики и кинетики высокотемпературной сушки в потоке дымовых газов энергетической вербы, которая сопровождается термодеструкцией гемиоцеллюлозы. Результаты численных экспериментов свидетельствуют об адекватности предложенного подхода, эффективности математической модели и метода ее реализации. На их основе возможно проводить исследование динамики тепломассопереноса при сушке частиц различных видов измельченной биомассы; определение температуры начала и окончания первой стадии термического разложения; момента достижения равновесного влагосодержания в зависимости от свойств материала и сушильного агента. Эти данные позволяют выбирать оптимальные с точки зрения сохранения энергии и качества высушиваемого продукта  режимные параметры процесса.         A mathematical model and a numerical method for calculating the dynamics of heat and mass transfer, phase transformations and shrinkage during the drying of colloidal capillary-porous cylindrical bodies under conditions of equitable winding by a coolant are developed. The mathematical model was based on the differential equation of substance (energy, mass, impulse) transfer in deformable systems. It includes the equations diffusion-filtration transfer of energy for the system as a whole, and the mass transfer of the liquid, vapor and air phases in the pores of the body. Expressions for the intensity of evaporation of a liquid, capillary pressure, and the diffusion coefficients are presented. The relative volume strain was found by means of an analytical solution of the thermoconcentration deformation equation. Based on the explicit three-layer counting difference scheme and the procedure splitting of algorithm  by physical factors, a numerical method for realizing this mathematical model is developed.Experimental studies of the kinetics of dehydration of energy willow particles in the airflow were carried out to verify the mathematical model. Its applicability for calculating combined processes of drying and of the initial stage of thermal decomposition of biomass is substantiated. Using the previously obtained data on the activation energy values for various types of biomass, a mathematical simulation of the dynamics and kinetics of high-temperature drying in the flue gas flow of energy willow was carried out, which is accompanied by thermal destruction of hemiocellulose. The results of numerical experiments indicate the adequacy of the proposed approach, the effectiveness of the mathematical model and the method of its implementation. On their basis, it is possible to study the dynamics of heat and mass transfer when drying particles of different types of ground biomass; determination of the temperature of the beginning and ending of the first stage of thermal decomposition; the moment when the equilibrium moisture content is reached, depending on the properties of the material and the drying agent. These data allow choosing the process parameters that are optimal in terms of energy saving and quality of the dried product.

In this paper, the coupled heat and mass transfer within porous media has been studies. First, the studied materials have been characterized experimentally and than evaluated their thermal properties, namely thermal conductivity and specific heat in different states (dry-wet). The hygroscopic properties, namely water vapour permeability, water vapour sorption. At second time, we present and validate the mathematical model describing heat and mass transfer within bio-based materials, by the confrontation with the experimental results. The materials properties obtained from the characterisation part are used as model?s input parameters. Moreover, a test facility is mounted in the laboratory in order to compare the numerical and experimental data. The founded results show a good concordance between the simulated and measured data. According to this results the mathematical model of Philip and de Vries gives a good prediction of hygrothermal behaviour of bio-based material. This model will allow us to save money and time of the experimental part in the future.

The prediction of flow rates at which the vibration-induced instability takes place in tubular heat exchangers due to cross-flow is of major importance to the performance and service life of such equipment. In this paper, the semi-analytical model developed in [1] for square tube arrays was extended and utilized to study the triangular tube patterns. A laboratory test rig with instrumented test section is used to measure the fluidelastic coefficients to be used for tuning the mathematical model. The test section can be made of any bundle pattern. In this study, two test sections were constructed for both the normal triangular and the rotated triangular tube arrays. The developed scheme is utilized in predicting the onset of flow-induced instability in the two triangular tube arrays. The results are compared to those obtained for two other bundle configurations; namely the square and rotated square arrays reported in [1]. The results of the four different tube patterns are viewed in the light of TEMA predictions. The comparison demonstrated that TEMA guidelines are more conservative in all configurations considered.

Abstract A mathematical model is developed that yields the distance to which live aid may penetrate into a fracture under conditions in which the over-all reaction kinetics. The model is solved by an explicit finite-difference method, and the results are presented in graphical form. An example design presented in graphical form. An example design calculation is given for HC1 reaction in a dolomite fracture. Experimental data are presented for acid flow in limestone and dolomite laboratory - prepared fracture systems 4.1 t 9.7 ft long, at 71, 190, and 290F. From these experiments was determined a parameter appearing in the mathematical model-termed the effective mixing coefficient. The mixing coefficient has a minimum in the low Reynolds number region, indicating that rectilinear laminar flow is approached more closely just before the flow becomes turbulent. The mixing coefficient also appears to be dependent upon temperature in the laminar flow region. The mathematical solutions given in this paper are applicable to situations in which the over-all rate of acid reaction is not determined solely by mass transfer. Introduction Acids are widely used in the hydraulic fracturing of reservoirs to stimulate wells. Roughly speaking, the purpose of the acid is to selectively react with and dissolve portions of the fracture wall so that a finite fluid conductivity remains when the well is returned to production. One important variable that must be known in designing these acid fracturing treatments is the distance to which acid will penetrate the fracture before completely reacting penetrate the fracture before completely reacting and becoming spent. This distance is usually termed the acid penetration length and is an essential part of the information needed for predicting productivity after acidizing. Other important design variables include the dynamic fracture geometry and the residual fracture conductivity. Because of its importance in predicting stimulation ratios, acid penetration into a fracture has been studied by several investigators. Both static tests and dynamic tests have been used to predict acid reaction rates in fractures. It seems predict acid reaction rates in fractures. It seems reasonable that a dynamic acid reactor test will be useful for predicting acid spending rates, since the mass transfer rate in an actual fracture may be approached in this type of test. One experimental apparatus used for acid flow tests in parallel plate system such as that used by Barron et al. plate system such as that used by Barron et al. and by Williams and Nierode. In these tests, acid is pumped at a known flow rate through a fracture of known geometry and the inlet and outlet acid composition is measured. From the resulting information it is possible to predict acid penetration in a real fracture with the aid of a mathematical model having experimentally determined parameters. We present here the results of an investigation of the use of mathematical model for predicting acid spending a fracture. Using Williams and Nierode's approach to calculating acid penetration, we have extended their method to allow for the fact that the surface reaction rates of several acid-rock systems (e.g., HC1-dolomite) may be finite compared with the rate of mass transfer to the surface. Experimental data are presented for determining the parameters appearing in the mathematical model and a sample calculation illustrates its use. MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR ACID FRACTURING The mathematical model presented here is a modification of that introduced by Williams and Nierode to allow for the occurrence of finite reaction rates. This modification makes it possible to calculate theoretical penetration distances for acid featuring when reaction kinetics are important as in the case of the HC1-dolomite reaction. Since an analytical solution of the model is not possible, a finite-difference method was developed and is presented in Appendix A. presented in Appendix A. The model for acid formula is fracturing is presented in Fig. 1. Here the acid leakoff velocity, presented in Fig. 1. Here the acid leakoff velocity, is assumed constant over the fracture length.

The research aims to understand the design parameters of steam ejector nozzle on the performance of flash evaporation induced by the effect of a steam jet passing through it. The research concentrates on studying the effect of ejector nozzle outlet diameter on induced flow from preheated water in a specified evaporator using a subsonic ejector. The thermal energy extracted from the condensed steam mixture in the condenser is used to heat the water in the evaporator. The experimental tests investigate the effect of nozzle geometry on the induced evaporation process by changing nozzle outlet diameter while keeping the pressure of evaporator, condenser and primary steam constant. The experimental results proved that both primary and secondary steam mass flow rates increase versus nozzle outlet diameter, while the entrainment ratio of secondary to primary steam flow rates decreases due to the restricted increase of the secondary steam mass flow rate. The mathematical model prepared to simulate the behaviour of the subsonic ejector is validated using the comparison between experimental and theoretical results. The mathematical model showed that maximum entrainment of 0.57 is obtained at a primary steam pressure of 2 bars when the nozzle outlet diameter is fixed at 1.5 mm, while minimum entrainment ratio of 0.17 is estimated at 1.5 bar pressure related to primary steam when the nozzle outlet diameter is fixed at 2.5mm. The authors recommend defining nozzle geometrical parameters according to the operating conditions of the experimental test rig to enhance ejector efficiency.
