Elementary convection cells (ECC) are formed in horizontal layers of liquid heated from below, and they are experimentally investigated in this work. Results of experimental studies were adequately described by the theoretical model of ECC. It is shown that the addition of aluminum powder to oil transforms oil to a suspension, such that boundary conditions on the solid wall can be regarded as free because there is a slip through the tape of pure oil. Change in the character of boundary conditions is confirmed by the results of numerical processing of experimental results on formation of convective rings on the layer surface by other authors. Two independent methods for determining the velocity of mass transfer in cells with various diameters are described in the article. For cells with a large diameter (17 mm), the maximum velocity of mass transfer was measured at the upper boundary on a deflection angle of the probe. Measured in this way velocity was equal to V<sub>Oil</sub> ≈ 0.2 mm/sec. For cells with a smaller diameter (2 mm), the velocity of oil on the surface of a cell was measured using an optical method and constituted the value from 3.5 mm/s to 5.2 mm/s.

In this work, experimental studies were carried out to investigate the structure of a surface flow and to understand potential mechanisms leading to the formation of this type instability. The surface flow was generated by feeding water through three sources: a lumped source with free upper boundary, a slot gap, and a lumped source for inducing a capillary-driven Marangoni flow. For flow visualization, a traditional light knife technique was used. The application of a method of spatial separation of the water volume into two isolated parts whose common surface remained unchanged and the realization of a reverse situation with a divided surface made it possible to study in detail the surface flow structure and to determine the conditions for the appearance of such hydrodynamic instability. It is shown that the formation of a vortex flow is caused by the interaction between the coordinate of the flow homogeneous along the transverse flow and the layer of a surface-active substance adsorbed at the interface. The obtained experimental results demonstrate the importance of setting different boundary conditions for potential and vortex velocity components of a convective flow in the region near the interface occupied by a surfactant.

The effects of radiation and chemical reactions, in the presence of a transverse magnetic field, on free convective flow and mass transfer of an optically dense viscous, incompressible, and electrically conducting fluid past a vertical isothermal cone surface are investigated. The nonlinear boundary-layer equations with the boundary conditions are transferred by a similarity transformation into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations with the appropriate boundary conditions. Furthermore, the similarity equations are solved numerically by using a fourth-order Runge–Kutta scheme with the shooting method. Numerical results for the skin-friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number, the local Sherwood number are given; as well, the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are presented for a Prandtl number of 0.7, the chemical-reaction parameter, the order of the reaction, the radiation parameter, the Schmidt number, the magnetic parameter, and the surface temperature parameter.

Существуют два основных подхода решения задачи тепломассопереноса при численном моделировании промерзания грунтов: 1) решение методом конечных разностей с учетом граничных условий (границей, например, является фронт промерзания); 2) решение методом конечных элементов без учета границ модели. Оба подхода имеют существенные недостатки, что оставляет проблему решения задачи для численной модели промерзания грунтов острой и актуальной. В данной работе представлена физическая постановка промерзания, которая позволяет создать численную модель, базирующуюся на решении методом конечных элементов, но при этом отражающую ход фронта промерзания - то есть модель, в которой объединены оба подхода к решению задачи промерзания грунтов. Для подтверждения корректности модели был проделан ряд экспериментов по физическому моделированию промерзания модельного грунта и выполнен сравнительный анализ полученных экспериментальных данных и результатов расчетов на базе представленной численной модели с такими же граничными условиями, как в экспериментах. There are two basic approaches to solving the problem of heat and mass transfer in the numerical modeling of soil freezing: 1) using the finite difference method taking into account boundary conditions (the boundary, for example, is the freezing front); 2) using the finite element method without consideration of model boundaries. Both approaches have significant drawbacks, which leaves the issue of solving the problem for the numerical model of soil freezing acute and up-to-date. This article provides the physical setting of freezing that allows us to create a numerical model based on the solution by the finite element method, but at the same time reflecting the route of the freezing front, i.e. the model that combines both approaches to solving the problem of soil freezing. In order to confirm the correctness of the model, a number of experiments on physical modeling of model soil freezing have been performed, and a comparative analysis of the experimental data obtained and the calculation results based on the provided numerical model with the same boundary conditions as in the experiments was performed.

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.
