The drying of a cellulosic fibrous material by acoustic-convective and thermal-convective methods under different conditions has been studied. Using the thermal-vacuum drying method, the weight of an ...absolutely dry sample of the starting material was determined and used to calculate the initial absolute and relative moisture contents, which were 12.38% and 10.96%, respectively. The dynamics of capillary impregnation and sorption wetting of samples was determined. The limiting values of the absolute and relative moisture content of cellulose fibers were found to be 862.16% and 89.47%, respectively. The kinetic curves of moisture extraction obtained in acoustic-convective and thermal-convective drying under different conditions were constructed, analyzed, and compared. It is shown that the acoustic-convective extraction of moisture has an advantage over the thermal-convective method.
The design, properties, and applications of transparent glass-ceramics are reviewed. Interference effects in light scattering by transparent glass-ceramics are discussed. The scattering coefficient ...of transparent glass-ceramics is found to be significantly less than that for the case of independent Rayleigh scattering by nanocrystals; its wavelength dependence is qualitatively different. A reduction in interference effects achieved by precipitation of nanocrystals of different crystalline phases with different scattering properties results in glass-ceramics with high diffuse reflection. The origin of the low coefficient of thermal expansion of glass-ceramics is discussed based on the temperature dependence of the unit cell parameters of β-quartz solid solutions measured by in situ high-temperature x-ray diffraction. Transparent glass-ceramics doped with Co2+ and Ni2+ ions for thermal shock-resistant color filters, for broadband near-infrared (IR) optical amplifiers, and for passive Q-switching of eye-safe Er lasers are presented. Glass-ceramics with rare-earth titanates, titanates-zirconates, and niobates in dual roles of nucleators and active crystals are reviewed.
The present numerical study is aimed at revealing the influence of the nozzle exit-to-resonator edge distance on the gas-dynamic characteristics of the acoustic-convective flow in the flow path of a ...bichannel system. The aim of the work is the development of a computational technology for describing physical processes in the duct of multichannel systems that generate high-intensity acoustic fields. Five configurations of the bichannel system in which the gap between the nozzle exit and the resonator edge was 0.85, 1.10, 1.35, 1.60, and 1.85 of the resonator diameter, were analyzed. As a result of the study, a complete picture of the gas-dynamic flow formed in the duct of the bichannel system was obtained, including the resonating cavity and the region in between the nozzle and resonator. With the help of numerical simulation, the formation of a flow with high-frequency, low-amplitude oscillations at a small gap between the nozzle exit and the resonator edge, which was observed in experiments, has been demonstrated. Pure-tone oscillations with maximum intensity occur when the resonator is placed in the region of the beginning of the second barrel, this observation being in good agreement with the data obtained by other authors. Subsequent increase in the nozzle-to-resonator distance leads to the emergence of subharmonics and multiple harmonics. Verification of gained numerical results with available experimental data is carried out.
The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of the diameter of a subsonic conical nozzle on the generation of acoustic waves in a two-channel system. Three-dimensional numerical ...simulation of flow in the duct of an actual device was performed. A complete picture of the flow generated in the acoustic-convective drying system of the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, SB RAS, was obtained. The results of the study show that to maintain the amplitude-frequency characteristics of the workflow with increasing diameter of the subsonic conical nozzle, it is necessary to reduce the settling chamber pressure. The numerically simulated amplitude-frequency characteristics of the acoustic flow generated in the working section of the drying system are in satisfactory agreement with the results of physical experiments.
The need to increase the precision with which the form of the pulse of the rapidly varying current of powerful plasma radiation is recorded under the conditions of powerful electromagnetic induction ...is considered. It is suggested that that a polarimetric fiber-optic current sensor based on a Spun-type light guide should be used to record powerful pulsed discharges. With the use of this type of current sensor it becomes possible to implement a technique of recording powerful pulse discharges of a plasma radiator in a regime of time profiling of the current pulse of two high-voltage capacitative storage devices with total energy up to 1800 kJ. The discharge chamber, power circuit, and evolution of the plasma discharge are described. The design and operating principle of a prototype of a two-pass polarimetric fiber-optic sensor with Spun-type optical cable and Faraday compensator that exhibits mutual optical anisotropy are presented. The general scheme of current measurements and the calibration circuit of the sensor are presented and experience gained from the use of a prototype of a sensor for measurement of powerful current pulses is described. Features of pre-calibration of the sensor are discussed. Results of a measurement of current by optical and traditional methods of recording based on the use of a Rogowski coil and Hall sensors are compared and a significant increase in the precision of reproduction of the shape of the current pulse by the optical method of recording is noted. Different modes of modernization of a fiber-optic sensor for expanding the range of recording current are considered.
This paper is devoted to an experimental study of the characteristics of the operating flow in a two-channel system of an acoustic-convective dryer (ACD), developed at the Institute of Theoretical ...and Applied Mechanics (ITAM) SB RAS. A parametric study of cylindrical resonator depth and pressure in settling chamber influence on amplitude-frequency characteristics (AFC) of the formed flow is carried out. The influence of pressure in settling chamber and geometry of resonant cavity on AFC are considered. A tendency toward a decrease in Hartmann effect existence region with a decrease in cavity depth was found. A satisfactory agreement was obtained between the frequencies registered in the experiments and calculated using the Helmholtz formula for the natural frequency of resonant cavity.
The results of numerical simulation of gas-dynamic flow in the channel of a technical device with a resonant cavity are presented. One period of gas-dynamic loading of structural elements of the ...resonant cavity has been studied in detail. A complete picture of pressure and temperature field distribution along the resonant cavity channel has been obtained. The maximum and minimum values of pressure and temperature, achieved when the gas flow moves along the resonator channel, have been determined.

This article discusses a possibility of deriving the basic equations of electrodynamics by means of the rational continuum mechanics principles and methods. We show that in order to give rise to the ...challenge, one needs to consider an elastic continuum of two‐spin particles of a special kind. We derive classical Maxwell's equations and discuss reasons limiting their application. After that, we propose more general equations that presumably provide a more correct description of the electromagnetic field.
