Abstract The present paper gives the methods, schemes and results of experiments based on direct and reciprocal methods of measurements. The use of the reciprocity method made it possible to solve the problem of determining the acoustic characteristics of the distributed system model where vibroactive sources are represented in the form of passive models. It has been shown that the normalized transfer coefficient characterizing a link between force and acoustic fields has the same value both for the model and in nature (in case of their full similarity) that can be used: - to improve the methods of designing and technological manufacturing of models based on the comparison of normalized transfer coefficients obtained for full-scale and physical models; - to forecast the acoustic radiation of some vibroactive mechanisms using the assigned force characteristics and normalized transfer coefficients obtained for a model with the modelling scale taken into account.

<p>Acoustic fields of various types of radiation and power arise during the rocket’s movement in the atmosphere after the launch. One of the most topical studies here is the analysis and assessment of the infrasonic radiation levels and their impact on the health of the nearby settlements population and the spaceport maintenance personnel. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the features and determine the directions of acoustic radiation research based on existing ideas about the generation, propagation, and impact of infrasound.</p><p>The methodology for researching acoustic radiation during rocket movement includes identifying the primary sources of acoustic vibrations. That is vibrations from a working propulsion system, from the vibrating shell of the rocket case, turbulent vortices in the flow around the rocket case. And also the identification of acoustic vibrations secondary sources arising from the primary vibrations reflection from collisions with obstacles, for example, the launch pad surface type.</p><p>It is necessary to develop physical models of acoustic fields, the nature of which depends primarily on the type of acoustic sources.</p><p>These are the following models:</p><ul><li>point radiation (monopoles);</li> <li>analysis of acoustic fields generated in the environment by force acting on a rigid surface and characterized by the Lamb potential;</li> <li>acoustic radiation and fields during vibrations of plates and shells of various shapes, lengths, and areas;</li> <li>acoustic radiation during the movable environment and solid bodies interaction;</li> <li>acoustic radiation at the jets outflow from nozzles;</li> <li>excitation and propagation of acoustic vibrations inside gas and liquid cavities, taking into account the peculiarities of the shells’ structural schemes, the resonances identification;</li> <li>monochromatic and pulsed radiation.</li> </ul><p>The next step is the creation of mathematical models designed to calculate the acoustic field characteristics (analytical methods, the use of Taylor and Fourier series, numerical programming methods).

AbstractInvestigations of flow boiling in highly viscous fluids show that heat transfer mechanisms in such fluids are different from those in fluids of low viscosity like refrigerants or water. To gain a better understanding, a modified standard apparatus was developed; it was specifically designed for fluids of high viscosity up to 1000 Pa∙s and enables heat transfer measurements with a single horizontal test tube over a wide range of heat fluxes. Here, we present measurements of the heat transfer coefficient at pool boiling conditions in highly viscous binary mixtures of three different polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) and n-pentane, which is the volatile component in the mixture. Systematic measurements were carried out to investigate pool boiling in mixtures with a focus on the temperature, the viscosity of the non-volatile component and the fraction of the volatile component on the heat transfer coefficient. Furthermore, copper test tubes with polished and sanded surfaces were used to evaluate the influence of the surface structure on the heat transfer coefficient. The results show that viscosity and composition of the mixture have the strongest effect on the heat transfer coefficient in highly viscous mixtures, whereby the viscosity of the mixture depends on the base viscosity of the used PDMS, on the concentration of n-pentane in the mixture, and on the temperature. For nucleate boiling, the influence of the surface structure of the test tube is less pronounced than observed in boiling experiments with pure fluids of low viscosity, but the relative enhancement of the heat transfer coefficient is still significant. In particular for mixtures with high concentrations of the volatile component and at high pool temperature, heat transfer coefficients increase with heat flux until they reach a maximum. At further increased heat fluxes the heat transfer coefficients decrease again. Observed temperature differences between heating surface and pool are much larger than for boiling fluids with low viscosity. Temperature differences up to 137 K (for a mixture containing 5% n-pentane by mass at a heat flux of 13.6 kW/m2) were measured.

To investigate the sources of acoustic radiation from a gas turbine exhaust, a one-seventh scale model has been constructed. The model geometrically scales the flow path downstream of the rotating parts including support struts and turning vanes. A discussion and comparison of different kinds of aerodynamic and acoustic scaling techniques are given. The effect of the temperature ratio between model and prototype is found to be an important parameter in comparing acoustical data.

The paper reviews the use of grooved surfaces and sawtooth (chevron) edges to control the flow parameters of the wings, propeller blades and elements of vane propulsion systems operating in both gaseous and liquid media. Particular attention is paid to the physical mechanisms of improving the hydrodynamic, cavitation and acoustic characteristics under the influence of a grooved surface. These mechanisms are associated with a change in the flow structure in the region of the laminar-turbulent transition, the peculiarities of the occurrence of cavitation and acoustic radiation in the region of the outgoing edges. The results of the verification of computational models describing the behavior of the flow taking into account the laminar-turbulent transition, the use of which is necessary for studying flows near a grooved surface, are presented.

The evaporation heat transfer coefficients and pressure drops of R-410A and R-134a flowing through a horizontal-aluminium rectangular multiport mini-channel having a hydraulic diameter of 3.48 mm are experimentally investigated. The test runs are done at refrigerant mass fluxes ranging between 200 and 400 kg/m2s. The heat fluxes are between 5 and 14.25 kW/m2, and refrigerant saturation temperatures are between 10 and 30 °C. The effects of the refrigerant vapour quality, mass flux, saturation temperature and imposed heat flux on the measured heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop are investigated. The experimental data show that in the same conditions, the heat transfer coefficients of R-410A are about 20–50% higher than those of R-134a, whereas the pressure drops of R-410A are around 50–100% lower than those of R-134a. The new correlations for the evaporation heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop of R-410A and R-134a in a multiport mini-channel are proposed for practical applications.

An approximate method for calculation of the hourly output of a solar still over a 24-hour cycle has been studied. The hourly performance of a solar still is predicted given the values of the insolation, ambient temperature, wind heat-transfer coefficient, water depth, and the heat-transfer coefficient through base and sides. The proposed method does not require graphical constructions and does not assume constant heat-transfer coefficients as in the previous methods. The possibility of using the values of the heat-transfer coefficients for the preceding time interval in the heat balance equations is examined. In fact, two variants of the basic method of calculation are examined. The hourly rate of evaporation is obtained. The results are compared to those obtained by numerical solution of the complete set of heat balance equations. The errors from the approximate method in prediction of the 24-hour output are within ±1.5 percent of the values from the numerical solution using the heat balance equations. The range of variables covered is 5 to 15 cms in water depth, 0 to 3 W/m2K in a heat-transfer coefficient through base and sides, and 5 to 40 W/m2K in a wind heat-transfer coefficient.

A new method has been developed and demonstrated for the non-destructive, quantitative assessment of internal heat transfer coefficient distributions of cooled metallic turbine airfoils. The technique employs the acquisition of full-surface external surface temperature data in response to a thermal transient induced by internal heating/cooling, in conjunction with knowledge of the part wall thickness and geometry, material properties, and internal fluid temperatures. An imaging Infrared camera system is used to record the complete time history of the external surface temperature response during a transient initiated by the introduction of a convecting fluid through the cooling circuit of the part. The transient data obtained is combined with the cooling fluid network model to provide the boundary conditions for a finite element model representing the complete part geometry. A simple 1D lumped thermal capacitance model for each local wall position is used to provide a first estimate of the internal surface heat transfer coefficient distribution. A 3D inverse transient conduction model of the part is then executed with updated internal heat transfer coefficients until convergence is reached with the experimentally measured external wall temperatures as a function of time. This new technique makes possible the accurate quantification of full-surface internal heat transfer coefficient distributions for prototype and production metallic airfoils in a totally non-destructive and non-intrusive manner. The technique is equally applicable to other material types and other cooled/heated components.

The resonance frequencies of the flexural vibrations, input vibration excitability and acoustic radiation of the homogeneous and perforated plates were investigated. It is established that the average reduction range of the lower resonant frequency of flexural vibrations of the tested plates with the holes virtually coincides with the predictive estimate. The levels of the input vibration excitability of the perforated plate at the lower resonant frequencies exceeded the levels at the corresponding frequencies of the homogeneous plates greater than the calculated value. The levels of resonance acoustic radiation of the perforated plate were significantly less than of the homogeneous one.

In this paper, convective and evaporative heat transfer coefficients of the Indian groundnut were computed under indoor forced convection drying (IFCD) mode. The groundnuts were dried as a single thin layer with the help of a laboratory dryer till the optimum safe moisture storage level of 8 – 10%. The experimental data were used to determine the values of experimental constants C and n in the Nusselt number expression by a simple linear regression analysis and consequently, the convective heat transfer coefficient (CHTC) was determined. The values of CHTC were used to calculate the evaporative heat transfer coefficient (EHTC). The average values of CHTC and EHTC were found to be 2.48 W/m2 oC and 35.08 W/m2 oC, respectively. The experimental error in terms of percent uncertainty was also estimated. The experimental error in terms of percent uncertainty was found to be 42.55%. The error bars for convective and evaporative heat transfer coefficients are also shown for the groundnut drying under IFCD condition.

A special naphthalene sublimation technique is used to study the film cooling performance downstream of one row of holes of 35 deg inclination angle and 45 deg compound angle with 3d hole spacing and relatively small hole length to diameter ratio (6.3). Both film cooling effectiveness and mass/heat transfer coefficients are determined for blowing rates from 0.5 to 2.0 with density ratio of unity. The mass transfer coefficient is measured using pure air film injection, while the film cooling effectiveness is derived from comparison of mass transfer coefficients obtained following injection of naphthalene-vapor-saturated air with that of pure air injection. This technique enables one to obtain detailed local information on film cooling performance. General agreement is found in local film cooling effectiveness when compared with previous experiments. The laterally averaged effectiveness with compound angle injection is higher than that with inclined holes immediately downstream of injection at a blowing rate of 0.5 and is higher at all locations downstream of injection at larger blowing rates. A large variation of mass transfer coefficients in the lateral direction is observed in the present study. At low blowing rates of 0.5 and 1.0, the laterally averaged mass transfer coefficient is close to that of injection without compound angle. At the highest blowing rate used (2.0), the asymmetric vortex motion under the jets increases the mass transfer coefficient drastically ten diameters downstream of injection.
