Heat addition process is a governing phenomenon in turbojet and ramjet burners, where heat is added to the flow during the fuel-air combustion process. In the present work, an analytical study has been performed to investigate the effect of heat addition on the basic flow properties based on compressible Rayleigh flow model between the subsonic and sonic flow regime. The unsteady nature of flow properties in these regimes have been evaluated analytically by adding heat through the walls of a constant area, frictionless duct in which air flow occurs over different periods of time. Sudden variation of temperature, pressure, velocity and kinetic energy of the flow were found at flow Mach number M = 0.94. Flow velocity and kinetic energy increases until the flow approaches M = 0.94, afterwards there is a rapid increase in the flow velocity and kinetic energy until it reaches sonic conditions. Conversely, pressure decreased till the flow reaches M = 0.94, there after a sudden drop was observed. Flow enthalpy increased initially, reached maximum at flow M = 0.845 and then reduced till sonic conditions. Based on the observations, it has been concluded that the heat energy contributed to increase the kinetic energy thereby reducing the temperature of the flow.

Abstract The problem of increasing the efficiency of using the oncoming air flow for a wind wheel with a vertical axis of rotation, which is a mechanical drive of the wind heat generator, is considered. It is proposed to increase the efficiency of the device by installing an aerodynamic shield for the air flow oncoming the wind wheel. Such a shield is a cylindrical body in which a heat generator is placed. The shield creates an effect of confuser, leading to an increase in the speed and, consequently, in the kinetic energy of the air flow acting on the rotor blades. It is shown experimentally that the presence of an aerodynamic shield under the conditions of the experiments carried out at an incoming air flow velocity of ~ 1 m/s leads to a practical doubling of the wind wheel torque.

The article carries out the experimental and analytical studies of three-blade wind power installation and gives the technique for measurements of angular rate of wind turbine rotation depending on the wind speeds, the rotating moment and its power. We have made the comparison of the calculation results according to the formulas offered with the indicators of the wind turbine tests executed in natural conditions. The tests were carried out at wind speeds from 0.709 m/s to 6.427 m/s. The wind power efficiency (WPE) for ideal traditional installation is known to be 0.45. According to the analytical calculations, wind power efficiency of the wind turbine with 3-bladed and 6 wind guide screens at wind speedsfrom 0.709 to 6.427 is equal to 0.317, and in the range of speed from 0.709 to 4.5 m/s – 0.351, but the experimental coefficient is much higher. The analysis of WPE variations shows that the work with the wind guide screens at insignificant average air flow velocity during the set period of time appears to be more effective, than the work without them. If the air flow velocity increases, the wind power efficiency gradually decreases. Such a good fit between experimental data and analytical calculations is confirmed by comparison of F-test design criterion with its tabular values. In the design of wind turbines, it allows determining the wind turbine power, setting the geometrical parameters and mass of all details for their efficient performance.

The development of a two zone k-? turbulence model for the cycle-simulation software is presented. The in-cylinder turbulent flow field of internal combustion engines plays the most important role in the combustion process. Turbulence has a strong influence on the combustion process because the convective deformation of the flame front as well as the additional transfer of the momentum, heat and mass can occur. The development and use of numerical simulation models are prompted by the high experimental costs, lack of measurement equipment and increase in computer power. In the cycle-simulation codes, multi zone models are often used for rapid and robust evaluation of key engine parameters. The extension of the single zone turbulence model to the two zone model is presented and described. Turbulence analysis was focused only on the high pressure cycle according to the assumption of the homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flow field. Specific modifications of differential equation derivatives were made in both cases (single and two zone). Validation was performed on two engine geometries for different engine speeds and loads. Results of the cyclesimulation model for the turbulent kinetic energy and the combustion progress variable are compared with the results of 3D-CFD simulations. Very good agreement between the turbulent kinetic energy during the high pressure cycle and the combustion progress variable was obtained. The two zone k-? turbulence model showed a further progress in terms of prediction of the combustion process by using only the turbulent quantities of the unburned zone.

The surface convective heat transfer of mass concrete is an important element of concrete structure temperature effect analysis. Based on coupled Thermal Fluid governing differential equation and finite element method, the paper calculated and analyzed the dependence of the concrete surface convective heat transfer on the air flow velocity and the concrete thermal conductivity coefficient. Results show that the surface convective heat transfer coefficient of concrete is a quadratic polynomial function of the air flow velocity, but influenced much less by the air flow velocity when temperature gradient is dominating in heat transfer. The concrete surface convective heat transfer coefficient increases linearly with the thermal conductivity of concrete increases.
