Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
The issues connected with material of the previous chapters are considered. We define the temperature and derive the heat equation. Next we discuss the free convection and obtain the system of equations describing this phenomenon. We study the applicability of the perfect and viscous fluid models, introduce the non-dimensional form of equations of the fluid model, and consider the dynamic similarity of the flows.
Keywords:
Dynamic similarity, Fourier law of heat conduction, Free convection, Froude number, Heat equation, Non-dimensional equations, Reynolds number, Temperature, Thermal conductivity, Thermal diffusivity.
