Experimental studies of changes in the pore structure and physical and technical properties of carbonated spinel-corundum refractories under different conditions of decarbonization and the formation of a protective regulatory layer on their hot surface, suppressing decarbonization of the refractory material and mass transfer between the lining and the flow of slag melt, are presented. The results of industrial tests of carbonated spinel-corundum refractories in the working layer of the lining of a 400-ton steel-ladle lining, as well as the topography and consumption specific coefficients of refractories for the functional zones of the ladle lining, the amount of refractory destruction products of the lining during its operation are considered.

Abstract A mathematical model representing the changes in pore structure attending the invasion of a porous material by a reactive fluid tending to dissolve the solid bas previously been tested and found to be valid. This mathematical model is solved by a simulation procedure using Monte Carlo techniques. The results so obtained are indicative of the acidization of sandstone using a last-reacting acid (diffusion limited). A correlation relating the permeability improvement to the change in porosity is presented and found to be applicable to a wide class of initial pore-size distributions. This means that the designer need not have explicit knowledge of the initial pore structure to utilize the correlation. The generality of the correlation stems from the fact that after exposure to fast-acting acids (diffusion-controlled reactions) wormholing tends to occur in all porous matrices, and the acid allows preferentially through these channels. Thus, the process is independent of the fine pore structure since the fine pores receive no acid Wormholing bas been observed in almost all experimental studies of acidization, thus further confirming the validity of the model. Introduction Matrix acidization as practiced in the petroleum industry is a simple operation. Acids treated so as to prevent their corrosive attack on metal parts contacted are pumped down the wellbore and forced into the pore spaces of an oil-bearing rock. The rate of penetration is normally maintained small enough to prevent fracturing of the reservoir The aim of matrix acidization is to enhance the permeability of the region around the wellbore by permeability of the region around the wellbore by dissolving either a portion of the rock or of the foreign impurities that may have been introduced during the drilling operations. The success of this technique of oilwell stimulation is attested to by the fact that a significant fraction of the acids used for stimulation are injected at matrix rates. There were, moreover, in excess of 87 million gal of hydrochloric acid used last year in carbonate formations with many other special purpose acids such as acetic and formic having also been used for stimulation purposes. Despite the fact that acids have long been routinely used as a means of stimulating oil wells to greater production, there is, as yet, no reliable design procedure incorporating all of the essential features into a prediction of the new production that will result from a given acid treatment of a particular well. This lack of a design procedure particular well. This lack of a design procedure has been responsible for the rather minimal efforts expended in obtaining meaningful reaction rate data, for there is very little enthusiasm for obtaining data which cannot be put to practical application. This paper is an extension of some recently reported work on predicting the permeability change resulting from acid treatment of an oil-bearing rock. It has been proposed that the changes in the microstructure owing to acidization in a porous rock can be simulated by considering the effect of acidization of a collection of small, randomly distributed capillaries that are interconnected to the extent that a fluid will be conducted from point to point under the influence of an external pressure gradient. This model, the capillaric model, has been used with varying success in understanding the behavior of porous media. The use of the capillaric model in determining only the results of the evolution of a pore-size distribution, rather than as a vehicle for predicting a number of mare or less independent phenomena, such as capillary pressure curves and dispersion, is, as has been pressure curves and dispersion, is, as has been noted by Schechter and Gidley, a more limited and perhaps attainable goal. Taking the capillaric model to be correct, Guin et al. have shown that an equation relating the porosity change and the permeability change caused by an ideally retarded permeability change caused by an ideally retarded acid can be derived without any assumptions.

Исследованы закономерности внешнего массообмена при сушке ягодного сырья для различных способов энергоподвода. Установлено, что ягоды при сушке подвержены значительной объемной (72–81%) и линейной (35–43%) усадке, которую необходимо учитывать при расчете коэффициентов массоотдачи. Объекты исследования – ягоды черники, красной и черной смородины. Проведены экспериментальные исследования по сушке ягодного сырья при конвективном и конвективном с ИК-излучением способах энергоподвода. Исследования проведены при скорости сушильного агента хса1,2 м/с и температуре tса 70°С. Получены критериальные уравнения внешнего массоообмена при сушке ягод для периода постоянной скорости, учитывающие объемную усадку. Определено, что при сушке с конвективным энергоподводом объемная усадка при одном и том же значении критерия Рейнольдса оказывает на 12–20% большее влияние на интенсивность массоообмена для красной смородины по сравнению с черникой и черной смородиной. При сушке с конвективным энергоподводом, ИК-излучением и предварительным прокалыванием объемная усадка наиболее существенно влияет на массообмен для черной смородины, протекающий в 1,5–1,8 раза интенсивнее по сравнению с черникой и красной смородиной. Полученные критериальные уравнения могут быть использованы при расчете и проектировании установок для сушки ягодного сырья. The laws of external mass transfer during drying of berry raw materials for various methods of energy supply are investigated. It is established that the berries during drying are subject to significant volumetric (72–81%) and surface (35–43%) shrinkage, which must be taken into account when calculating the mass transfer coefficients. The objects of the study were various berries: blueberries, red and black currants. Experimental studies have been carried out on the drying of selected berries both in the case of convective and convective methods with IR radiation. Investigations were carried out at a drying agent velocity хса1,2 m/s and its temperature tca70°С. The criterion equations of external mass transfer during drying of berries for a period of constant speed, taking into account the volume shrinkage, are obtained. It was determined that during drying with convective energy supply, volume shrinkage with the same value of the Reynolds criterion on 12–20% has a greater effect on the mass transfer rate for red currants. When drying with convective energy supply, IR radiation and preliminary piercing, the volume shrinkage most significantly affects the mass transfer for black currants, which is 1,5–1,8 times more intense than blueberries and red currants. The obtained criterial equations can be used in the calculation and design of berries dryers.

Shall-and-tube heat exchangers based on the bundles with in-line or staggered arrangements have been widely used in industry and power engineering. A large number of theoretical and experimental works are devoted to study of hydrodynamic and heat transfer processes in such bundles. In that, works the basic studies of heat and mass transfer for these bundles are found. However, heat exchangers of this type can have big dimensions and mass. One of the ways to improve the weight and dimensions of the shell-and-tube heat exchangers is to use compact arrangement of tube bundles. A new design of heat exchanger is proposed, in which there are no gaps between adjacent tubes that touch each other. Different geometry of these tube bundles with displacement of adjacent tubes in the direction of transverse to the flow is considered. Numerical modelling and experimental investigations of hydrodynamic, heat and mass transfer processes in such tube bundles has been carried out. The distribution of velocities, temperatures, and pressure in inter-tube channels have been obtained.

Flat grooved heat pipes, which are especially useful in obtaining a high degree of temperature uniformity on flat surfaces, have been successfully used in the temperature control of electronic systems, however, the mechanisms governing the flow and heat transfer of this kind of heat pipes are still under scrutiny as some reported results cannot be reproduced by others or some assumptions have been proven to be unreasonable or ideal. The theoretical and experimental studies on flat grooved heat pipes and introduce work performed on modeling flat grooved heat pipes are reviewed in this paper.
