In experimental studies it was found that the effect appear during flow not only in technical emulsions, but also emulsions from simple chemical compounds. It was also suggested that in the region of narrowing of the channel, there is accumulation of particles in the dispersed phase, as a result occurs dynamic blocking. A mathematical model of the flow of a highly concentrated emulsion in a channel with a stepped constriction is constructed.

In the flow in the microchannel of reverse water hydrocarbon emulsions, it is found the dynamic blocking effect. The essence of the effect is that the flow of the emulsion through the section of the microchannel stops with time, despite the permanent pressure drop. The difference of this work from previous ones is that for the experiments was prepared the emulsion of simple chemical compounds. For visualization of the structure formed in the capillary after blocking, the dispersed phase was introduced fluorescing component. It is studied and compared the rheological properties of the emulsion and formed from it in the phase transition suspension.

The paper presents results of hydrodynamic and rheological studies of the inverse water hydrocarbon emulsions. The success of the application of invert emulsions in the petroleum industry due, along with the high viscosity of the emulsion, greatly exceeding the viscosity of the carrier phase, the dynamic blocking effect, which consists in the fact that the rate of flow of emulsions in capillary structures and cracks falls with time to 3-4 orders, despite the permanent pressure drop. The reported study shows an increase in viscosity with increasing concentration or dispersion of emulsion. The increase in dispersion of w/o emulsion leads to an acceleration of the onset of dynamic blocking. The use of microfluidic devices, is made by soft photolithography, along with high-speed photography (10,000 frames/s), allowed us to see in the blocking condition the deformation of the microdroplets of water in inverse emulsion prepared from simple chemical compounds.

The article deals with the development of a physical model of a car equipped with measuring, recording and remote control equipment for experimental study of car properties. A detailed description of the design of the physical model and of the electronic modules used is given, links to application libraries and the code of the first part of the program for remote control of the model are given. Atmega microcontroller on the Arduino Uno platform was used to manage the model and register the parameters. When moving the car on the memory card saved such parameters as speed, voltage on the motor, current on the motor, the angle of the steered wheel, acceleration along three coordinate axes are recorded. Use of more powerful microcontrollers will allow to expand the list of the registered parameters of movement of the car. It is possible to measure the forces acting on the elements of the car and other parameters. In the future, it is planned to develop a mathematical model of motion of the car and check its adequacy in conducting experimental studies on maneuverability on the physical model. In addition, it is possible to conduct studies of stability and consumption of electrical energy. The physical model allows to quickly change geometric dimensions and mass parameters. In the study of highway trains, this approach will allow to investigate the various layout schemes of highway trains in the short term. It is possible to make two-axle road trains and saddle towed trains, three-way hitched trains of different layout. The results obtained will allow us to improve not only the mathematical model, but also the experimental physical model, and move on to further study the properties of hybrid road trains with an active trailer link. This approach allows to reduce material and time costs when researching the properties of cars and road trains. Keywords: car, physical model, experiment, road trains, sensor, remote control, maneuverability, stability.

The work is devoted to experimental investigations of the features of flow of dispersions in microchannels. The paper consists of three parts. In the first part the flow of emulsions in smooth contracting cylindrical microchannels is investigated. It is received that a significant role at dynamic blocking of channels is played by the inclusions comparable by size to the diameter of a narrowing. This is in spite of the fact that their influence on the change of a flow rate of emulsion before blocking is insignificant. In the second part the generation of emulsion in a complex structure of microchannels (micromodels) when water is displaced by composition of hydrocarbon with surfactants is investigated. The experimental dependences of the rheological characteristics of emulsions based on the composition of SAS and water at different concentrations of the aqueous phase can explain blocking of a porous structure by generated emulsion. In the third part a comparison of flow of water-in-oil emulsions with the suspension which was obtained by freezing the microdroplets of the aqueous phase of emulsions was studied. It was found that the blocking of suspension is not as complete as in the case of emulsion. It is explained by deformation of the droplets and by formation of a dense structure, as opposed to suspension of beads, through which hydrocarbon phase is filtered. A small increase in effective viscosity due to solidification of freezing droplets of the dispersed phase was found.

Abstract A mathematical model representing the changes in pore structure attending the invasion of a porous material by a reactive fluid tending to dissolve the solid bas previously been tested and found to be valid. This mathematical model is solved by a simulation procedure using Monte Carlo techniques. The results so obtained are indicative of the acidization of sandstone using a last-reacting acid (diffusion limited). A correlation relating the permeability improvement to the change in porosity is presented and found to be applicable to a wide class of initial pore-size distributions. This means that the designer need not have explicit knowledge of the initial pore structure to utilize the correlation. The generality of the correlation stems from the fact that after exposure to fast-acting acids (diffusion-controlled reactions) wormholing tends to occur in all porous matrices, and the acid allows preferentially through these channels. Thus, the process is independent of the fine pore structure since the fine pores receive no acid Wormholing bas been observed in almost all experimental studies of acidization, thus further confirming the validity of the model. Introduction Matrix acidization as practiced in the petroleum industry is a simple operation. Acids treated so as to prevent their corrosive attack on metal parts contacted are pumped down the wellbore and forced into the pore spaces of an oil-bearing rock. The rate of penetration is normally maintained small enough to prevent fracturing of the reservoir The aim of matrix acidization is to enhance the permeability of the region around the wellbore by permeability of the region around the wellbore by dissolving either a portion of the rock or of the foreign impurities that may have been introduced during the drilling operations. The success of this technique of oilwell stimulation is attested to by the fact that a significant fraction of the acids used for stimulation are injected at matrix rates. There were, moreover, in excess of 87 million gal of hydrochloric acid used last year in carbonate formations with many other special purpose acids such as acetic and formic having also been used for stimulation purposes. Despite the fact that acids have long been routinely used as a means of stimulating oil wells to greater production, there is, as yet, no reliable design procedure incorporating all of the essential features into a prediction of the new production that will result from a given acid treatment of a particular well. This lack of a design procedure particular well. This lack of a design procedure has been responsible for the rather minimal efforts expended in obtaining meaningful reaction rate data, for there is very little enthusiasm for obtaining data which cannot be put to practical application. This paper is an extension of some recently reported work on predicting the permeability change resulting from acid treatment of an oil-bearing rock. It has been proposed that the changes in the microstructure owing to acidization in a porous rock can be simulated by considering the effect of acidization of a collection of small, randomly distributed capillaries that are interconnected to the extent that a fluid will be conducted from point to point under the influence of an external pressure gradient. This model, the capillaric model, has been used with varying success in understanding the behavior of porous media. The use of the capillaric model in determining only the results of the evolution of a pore-size distribution, rather than as a vehicle for predicting a number of mare or less independent phenomena, such as capillary pressure curves and dispersion, is, as has been pressure curves and dispersion, is, as has been noted by Schechter and Gidley, a more limited and perhaps attainable goal. Taking the capillaric model to be correct, Guin et al. have shown that an equation relating the porosity change and the permeability change caused by an ideally retarded permeability change caused by an ideally retarded acid can be derived without any assumptions.

В работе приведены результаты исследования миграции зоны наименьшего прогревания (Slowest Heating Zone, далее SHZ) в упаковке при термической стерилизации мелкодисперсной гетерофазной пищевой системы для питания детей раннего возраста. Локализация SHZ является основным параметром, на основе которого производится разработка режимов термической стерилизации для пищевых систем с конвективным теплообменом. В качестве объекта исследования использовали сок яблочный с мякотью для детского питания отечественного производства, который представляет собой гетерофазную систему с жидкой дисперсионной средой и равномерно распределенной в ней высокодисперсной фазой в виде частиц мякоти с плотностью, близкой к плотности жидкой среды. Продукт был расфасован в стеклянные банки III-52-190. Прогрев проводили в термостате при температурах греющей среды 75, 80, 85, 90 и 95 °C, которые поддерживали и регистрировали автоматически, что обеспечивало равномерность температурного поля воды в термостате. Кривые прогрева снимали с помощью термопары, рабочий спай которой размещался по оси банки на высоте 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 40, 42 и 48 мм от дна. В результате экспериментальных исследований процесса стерилизации установлено, что в подобной пищевой системе локализация SHZ и кинетика ее миграции аналогичны этим параметрам в гомофазных пищевых системах, но различаются важными особенностями, вызванными как наличием дисперсной фазы, так и различиями в теплофизических параметрах продуктов. Отмечено влияние обязательной для питания детей раннего возраста гомогенизации сока с мякотью на вязкость продукта из-за упорядоченности ориентации частиц мякоти, вызывающей миграцию SHZ при изменении температуры сока при нагреве и охлаждении. The paper presents the results of researches of Slowest Heating Zone (SHZ) migration in packaging during thermal sterilization of fine heterophasic food system for feeding young children. Localization of SHZ is the main parameter on the basis of which the development of thermal sterilization modes for food systems with convective heat exchange is made. As the object of the study, we used apple juice with pulp for baby food of domestic production, which is a heterophase system with a liquid dispersion medium and a highly dispersed phase uniformly distributed in it in the form of pulp particles with a density close to the density of the liquid medium. The product was packaged in glass jars III-52-190. Warming up was carried out in a thermostat at temperatures of the heating medium of 75, 80, 85, 90, and 95 °C, which were maintained and recorded automatically, which ensured the uniformity of the temperature field of water in the thermostat. The heating curves were recorded using a thermocouple, the working junction of which was located along the can axis at heights of 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 40, 42, and 48 mm from the bottom. As a result of experimental studies of the sterilization process, it was found that in such a food system, the localization of SHZ and the kinetics of its migration are similar to these parameters in homophase food systems, but differ in important features caused by both the presence of a dispersed phase and differences in the thermophysical parameters of products. The effect of homogenization of juice with pulp, obligatory for feeding young children, on the viscosity of the product due to the regularity of the orientation of pulp particles, which causes migration of SHZ when the temperature of the juice changes during heating and cooling, has been noted.

Abstract In this paper volumetric losses in hydraulic motor supplied with water and mineral oil (two liquids having significantly different viscosity and lubricating properties) are described and compared. The experimental tests were conducted using an innovative hydraulic satellite motor, that is dedicated to work with different liquids, including water. The sources of leaks in this motor are also characterized and described. On this basis, a mathematical model of volumetric losses and model of effective rotational speed have been developed and presented. The results of calculation of volumetric losses according to the model are compared with the results of experiment. It was found that the difference is not more than 20%. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that this model well describes in both the volumetric losses in the motor supplied with water and oil. Experimental studies have shown that the volumetric losses in the motor supplied with water are even three times greater than the volumetric losses in the motor supplied with oil. It has been shown, that in a small constant stream of water the speed of the motor is reduced even by half in comparison of speed of motor supplied with the same stream of oil.
