Выполнена аналитическая оценка отношения глубины прогрева газовзвеси излучением продуктов горения S к длине свободного пробега излучения в газовзвеси L. Использована одномерная модель стационарного распределения температуры в потоке взвешенных в воздухе монодисперсных инертных частиц, движущихся на равномерно нагретую абсолютно черную поверхность, имитирующую фронт пламени. Учитывается отражение и переизлучение тепловой энергии частицами. S / L >> 1 при низкой степени черноты и/или высокой конечной температуре частиц.

It is accepted that the depth of heating of the gas suspension by the radiation of combustion products SR is equal to the length LR of the free path of radiation in the gas suspension: SR ≈ LR. Numerical simulation of gas-air mixture combustion with the addition of inert particles, taking into account the re-emission of heat by heated particles of fresh suspension, shows the possibility of realizing the ratio SR >> LR (Ivanov M.F. et al, 2015). In this work, an analytical estimate of the SR/LR ratio is carried out within the framework of one-dimensional modeling of the temperature distribution in the flow of initially cold monodisperse inert particles suspended in air, moving to a uniformly heated absolutely black surface, permeable to air suspension and simulating a flame front. The following assumptions are used. The solution is stationary in the coordinate system associated with the emitting surface; radiation consists of two oppositely directed streams of electromagnetic energy; the interaction of particles and radiation is described in the approximation of geometric optics and takes into account both the processes of absorption and emission of thermal energy, and the process of reflection of radiation; the temperature inside the particle is the same. In contrast to the previously considered (Poletaev N.L., 2021) the simplified problem of the motion of particles in a vacuum or in the presence of a gas phase heated by particles but not experiencing thermal expansion, this work took into account both the presence of a gas phase heated by particles and expansion of the gas phase. The latter causes the acceleration and expansion of the air suspension as it approaches the radiating surface. The difference in the local values of temperatures and phase motion velocities of the air suspension was neglected. It is shown that the quasi-linear (in the above-mentioned coordinate system) temperature distribution function in the air suspension obtained in this work is qualitatively different from the quasi-exponential temperature distribution function obtained earlier by solving a simplified problem. At the same time, the ratio of the heating depth of the air suspension by thermal radiation and the free path of radiation in the layer of air suspension adjacent to the radiating plane turned out to be similar to that obtained for the simplified solution. Namely, SR/LR >> 1 at a low integral degree of emissivity of the particle material and / or at a high final temperature of the particles, comparable to the temperature of the emitting surface.
