(Інститут геотехнічної механіки ім. М.С. Полякова НАН України, 2022) Zhevzhyk, Oleksandr V.; Potapchuk, Iryna Yu.; Pertsevyi, Vitalii O.; Sekar, Manigandan
ENG: An analysis of mathematical models of ignition and burning of a single particle and a coal cloud is given. Models which take into account the presence of ash in particles, the influence of the ratio of the amount of coal and primary air (excess coefficient) and the size of coal particles on the ignition process are presented and analyzed. It is shown that simplifications in mathematical models in most cases lead to a loss of accuracy and therefore the results cannot be used for practical purposes. Simulation of complex air supply processes by approximation of uniformity also leads to questionable results. A significant influence on the ignition and combustion of coal particles affects the content and intensity of the release of volatile substances and the chemical reactions that occur in this case. The rate of volatiles yield is proposed to be calculated according to the Arrhenius law, and the activation energy and frequency factor are considered to be those that do not depend on the type of coal, but are determined only by the temperature of the particle. Taking into account heat transfer by radiation and a decrease in the particle diameter during combustion has a positive effect on the results obtained. According to the results, the reactivity and losses with underburning significantly depend on the initial diameter of coal particles. Most models do not take into account the change in temperature inside the particles during heating, ignition and combustion in the apparatus, but there are works that are specifically devoted to the study of temperature fields inside the particles and the influence of the particle shape on the combustion rate. Modeling showed that motion relative to the gas leads to an intensification of heat transfer between the particles and the environment, while the volatile matter yield time decreases at a high ambient gas temperature. A decrease in the rate of combustion chemical reactions is noted with an increase in the concentration of water vapor in the gaseous medium around the particle, i.e. oxygen diffusion is the limiting factor in particle combustion. The most complete and physically correct gas dynamics during combustion is calculated in models where known turbulence models are used, such as the standard k-ε model, RNG k-ε model, BSL model and SST model. At the end of the article, the concepts for improving the model of ignition and combustion of coal particles are outlined.

ENG: One alternative for solving negative environmental impact is to use alternative renewable energy sources. However, technology is evolving and nowadays it cannot meet the needs of emerging economies. A promising direction in the field of clean technologies is the preliminary preparation of carbon-containing media of various origins by thermoconverting them into a gaseous state in high temperature fields. The analysis of the existing autothermal and allottermic technologies of gasification of carbonaceous media is given in the work. The advantages of allottermic technologies of high-temperature transformations under the action of arc plasma with steam oxidizing medium are presented. This method includes plasma formation processes, which combine in time and space thermal transformations and the generation of oxidant from water. The results of theoretical studies of the carbon-containing media plasma transformation process is presented in the article. The regularities of the temperature of steam-plasma transformation process influence on the qualitative and quantitative indicators of the obtained gas phase taking into account the medium elemental composition are established. Comparison of the cost indicators of production of synthetic motor fuel from natural gas by the known companies and from coal by steam-plasma conversion to gas is carried out.

(Dnipro University of Technology, Dnipro, 2023) Ponomarenko, Serhii; Potapchuk, Iryna Yu.; Zhevzhyk, Oleksandr V.; Kabakova, Liudmyla; Potapchuk, Anna
ENG: Purpose. Determining the influence of the degree of pneumatic energy losses in the non-hermetic air supply network on the efficiency of using installed equipment in the pneumatic method of waste utilization from mining and beneficiation of minerals. To achieve this purpose, a tightness control device was developed using the method of fixed volumes. Methods. Using the molecular-kinetic theory of gases, the thermodynamics and hydrodynamics laws, the characteristics of an open thermodynamic system under excess pressure and with a degree of a capillary-type leakage are investigated. Pneumatic energy losses in the pneumatic supply pipeline are determined by the mass of compressed air leaked due to its poor tightness. Findings. The peculiarities of the tightness control of hollow products by the method of fixed volumes have been summarized. The dependences of non-production losses of compressed air and the corresponding pressure drop on the geometric characteristics of the air supply pipeline, the leakage in supply pipeline, and the time of assessing the degree of leakage have been determined. Originality. For the first time, the relationship between the parameters of compressed air in an open thermodynamic system under excess pressure during air leakage and its heat exchange with the environment has been revealed. The influence of compressed air leakage in air supply networks on the efficiency of using vibration-pneumatic machines with an annular ejector in backfill technologies has been determined. Practical implications. The research results can be used to improve the existing or develop the new technological schemes of air supply equipment that use pneumatic energy at mining and metallurgical enterprises. Minimization of energy consumption can significantly expand the scope of application of pneumatic backfilling method.
A Mathematical Model for the Determination of the Parameters of a Gas in an Open Thermodynamic System in Contact with the Environment
(Seventh Sense Research Group, 2025) Ponomarenko, Serhii M.; Zhevzhyk, Oleksandr V.; Potapchuk, Iryna Yu.; Kabakova, Liudmyla B.; Yelatontsev, Dmytro O.
ENG: Leaks in gaseous storage and supply systems impose security and economic threats that are influenced by the heat exchange. A methodology is proposed to assess thermodynamic changes in a leaky system utilizing a mathematical model for the "pipe-hole" scenario based on the Poiseuille equation for laminar gas leakage with a capillary diameter below 0.1 m. Differential equations are derived to analyze the time-dependent thermodynamic variations of compressed air in the “pipe-hole” system via the energy balance equation. A mathematical model was developed for general case studies of open thermodynamic variable-mass gas systems. The FORTRAN software tool was used to solve the system of differential equations using the Runge-Kutta method, with four orders of accuracy. A specific examination was conducted on a thermodynamic system that lacks a constant gas supply and stationary convective heat exchange in a single-layer gas container with the environment. The ranges of the control parameter variation were considered as follows: air pressure p0 from 150 kPa to 300 kPa and temperature Ta from 15 ◦C to 25 ◦C. This study reveals how the density, pressure, and temperature of compressed air vary over time owing to leakage and heat fluxes. It was determined that as initial air pressure decreases from р0 = 150 kPa, the impact of heat flow rates markedly surpasses that of air leakage rates. A potential application of this research could be the software for monitoring devices for high-pressure systems designed for the storage and distribution of gaseous energy carriers.

(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2023) Potapchuk, Iryna Yu.; Zhevzhyk, Oleksandr V.; Kholiavchenko, Leonid; Pertsevyi, Vitalii; Bosyi, Dmytro O.; Drubetskaya, Tanya; Potapchuk, Anna
ENG: The mathematical model of thermal disintegration of rocks during the reaming of boreholes, which takes into account the compatibility of the thermogas dynamic problem for a high-temperature heat transfer agent and the thermal problem for the rock heated by this heat transfer agent, has been developed. The mathematical model is based on the laws of conservation of mass, quantity of motion and energy and takes into account the dependences for determining the thermal stresses and the temperature of brittle fracture of rocks. As a result of solving the equations of the mathematical model, the temperature distribution in the rock mass (magnetite quartzite) during heating in the process of borehole plasma reaming and productivity of the borehole plasma reaming process are obtained. Calculated and experimentally determined productivity of the process of plasma reaming of the borehole were compared.
Mathematical Modeling of the Borehole Heating Process by Means of Axial Plasmatron
(Інститут геотехнічної механіки ім. М.С. Полякова НАН України, 2022) Zhevzhyk, Oleksandr V.; Potapchuk, Iryna Yu.; Yemelianenko, Volodymyr I.; Sekar, Manigandan; Pertsevyi, Vitalii O.
ENG: The article presents a mathematical model that allows determining the main parameters of the plasmadynamic coolant jet in the process of thermal heating of the borehole inner surface. The mathematical model of lowtemperature plasma motion along the wellbore consists of the k-ε turbulence model equations, the continuity and energy equations for the gas flow, and the non-stationary heat conduction equation for calculating the temperature of a cylindrical flange pipe, which models the rock mass around the borehole. The equations are written in a cylindrical coordinate system for the radial and longitudinal components of the velocity of a low-temperature plasma flow. The differential equations of the mathematical model were supplemented with the corresponding initial and boundary conditions. The initial conditions were the known gas temperatures in the borehole and the initial temperature of the cylindrical flange pipe. The boundary conditions, in addition to the corresponding relations for the turbulence model, were the known parameters of the plasma flow at the inlet to the cylindrical pipe and the conditions for stabilization of the flow at the outlet. Noslip conditions for the flow and boundary conditions of the third order for the energy equation and the heat equation were used on the fixed boundary of the flanged pipe. To calculate the equations of the mathematical model, the numerical finite element method was used. The adequacy of the model of the borehole heating process by the plasma flow was verified by comparing the numerical calculation with experimental data. Experimental data confirm the adequacy of the proposed mathematical model. The difference between numerical and experimental data does not exceed 4.1 %. The proposed mathematical model can be used to calculate the temperature of the inner surface of the borehole before it is chipped during heating.

(National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NAS of Ukraine), 2019) Bulat, A. F.; Voloshyn, Oleksii I.; Potapchuk, Iryna Yu.; Yemelianenko, Volodymyr I.; Zhovtonoha, Mykola M.; Zhevzhyk, Oleksandr V.; Manigandan, S.
EN: Introduction. As compared with other ways of thermal destruction of rocks, the rock destruction by low temperature plasma jet has advantage in terms of distribution of cracks in rock at a considerable depth, high heat transfer coefficient and high specific heat flux, simplified system of automation and remote control, and compactness of thermal tool. Problem Statement. Thus, the possibilities of analytical determination of optimal parameters of thermal effect on rocks are limited by solution of thermoelasticity equations and contact problems of strength theory. Such formulation of the problem is unacceptable due to complication of taking into account substantial changes in the physical and thermos-physical rock properties while heating and applying mechanical load. Due to abovementioned facts it is obviously necessary to develop a mathematical model that enables to define basic gas dynamic jet parameters of heat-transfer medium in the process of borehole thermal reaming. Purpose. The purpose of this research is to develop a mathematical model for calculating the gas dynamic characteristics (pressure, density, and velocity) of the heat-transfer medium while it is moving along the surface of the borehole in the thermal reaming process. Materials and Methods. Mathematical modeling of the flow process for free and impact jets of heat-transfer medium using a PC. Results. Experimental studies have confirmed adequacy of the developed mathematical model for calculation of gas dynamic characteristics (pressure, density, and velocity) of the heat-transfer while it is moving along the surface of the borehole in the process of its thermal reaming. Conclusions. The obtained results can be used for modeling the gas dynamic characteristics in the case of applying a thermal tool with electric discharge in other technologies of heat treatment and destruction of materials.
Mathematical Modelling of Mixture Formation in the Combustion Chamber of a Diesel Engine
(TECHNOLOGY CENTER PC, Kharkiv, 2025) Zhevzhyk, Oleksandr V.; Potapchuk, Iryna Yu.; Horiachkin, Vadym M.; Raksha, Serhii V.; Bosyi, Dmytro O.; Reznyk, Andrii
ENG: The object of research is the process of fuel mixture formation in a vortex combustion chamber located in the piston of a diesel engine. Ineffective mixture formation leads to increased specific fuel consumption and harmful emissions into the atmosphere. The research addresses determining the conditions under which complete evaporation of droplets is achieved and the required ratio of the amount of fuel vapor and the available amount of air depending on the piston radius. A mathematical model was created to describe the behavior of fuel droplets under the influence of aerodynamic forces, heat transfer, and phase transition processes. The calculations determined the radial fuel vapor concentration and air-fuel ratio distribution. The study found that fuel droplets with sizes ranging to 90.7 µm are completely evaporated which contributes to volumetric mixture formation. The model also identified regions where the mixture reaches stoichiometric conditions necessary for autoignition, particularly at a radius of r/Rc=0.22. This is explained by the rapid evaporation of small droplets, the number of which, as a function of the diameter distribution, is the majority, and their high speeds of movement relative to air and high mass transfer coefficients in the initial spraying area. The study demonstrates that despite non-uniform fuel vapor distribution, volumetric mixture formation is achieved. The interaction between fuel droplets and the swirling air motion ensures adequate mixing, facilitating complete and efficient fuel combustion. The results can be applied to optimize diesel engine designs by improving combustion chamber geometry and fuel injection strategies. The model is particularly useful for engines with high-pressure fuel injection systems. The work results contribute to developing more efficient diesel engines that comply with stricter emission regulations.

(IOP Publishing, 2024) Zhevzhyk, Oleksandr V.; Potapchuk, Iryna Yu.; Pertsevyi, Vitalii; Bosyi, Dmytro O.; Biriukov, Dmytro; Shevchenko, Serhii
ENG: The work constructs a mathematical model of the heat and mass transfer process in a spray cooling tower. The mathematical model consists of the equations of motion and heat and mass transfer of water droplets and the equations of thermal and material balance of moist air, considers the polydispersity of the droplet flow and allows to calculate the cooling capacity of the cooling tower depending on the parameters of the droplet flow. The mathematical model is confirmed by the results of industrial tests of irrigation-free cooling towers. The simulation results show that the cooling capacity of a spray fan cooling tower significantly depends on the atomization dispersion and the height of the water cutting nozzles. Reducing the average diameter of the droplet flow to less than 2 mm and increasing the height of the nozzles H > 4...5 m make it possible to achieve the cooling performance of known cooling towers with nozzle. The mathematical model allows to calculate the cooling capacity of the cooling tower and determine the necessary individual parameters of the droplet flow for each type of equipment and consumers for which the specific energy costs for cooling is minimal.

(НТУ «Дніпровська політехніка», Дніпро, 2023) Ponomarenko, Serhii M.; Potapchuk, Iryna Yu.; Kabakova, Liudmyla B.; Radchenko, Yurii M.
ENG: Purpose. To establish the regularities of two-phase flow of “gas-solid particles” in the operating area of an annular ejector where the following processes take place: air mixture ejecting, compressed air outflow from the ejector nozzle, air mixture flows mixing in the transport pipeline. In the work, the velocity distribution is also examined for dispersed phase and air phase of air mixture during its loading and accelerating in the transport pipeline of the pneumatic transport system. Methodology. The research is based on the fundamental approaches of mass point dynamics, aerodynamics, the theory of jet flows and iteration methods of numerical solution of equations. Findings. The mechanics of the air mixture flow under the ejection and aerodynamic force in the operating area of an annular ejector and at the beginning of transport pipeline is analyzed using the method of iterations. The impact of air mixture flow in the operating area of an annular ejector on energy performance of the pneumatic transport system is evaluated. Originality. The originality is that, for the first time, the regularities describing two-phase “gas-solid particles” flow at the loading area of the pneumatic transport system with an annular ejector have been obtained. This made it possible to characterize the velocity distribution of the dispersed and air phases of the air mixture during their loading and aerodynamic acceleration in the transport pipeline. Also, an innovative approach to the effectiveness of the use of pipeline pneumatic transport is the assessment of the energy indicators of the use of ejector-type pneumatic transport equipment depending on the rate of compressed air outflow from the ejector. Practical value. The implementation of the results in the modernization of existing and in the creation of new pneumatic transport systems with an annular ejector makes it possible to increase the efficiency of their use in the technological processes of moving dispersed materials at mining and metallurgical enterprises and in other areas of technology.

(НТУ « Дніпровська політехніка», 2018) Voloshyn, Oleksii I.; Potapchuk, Iryna Yu.; Zhevzhyk, Oleksandr V.; Zhovtonoha, Mykola M.
EN: Abstract. The performed analysis of scientific sources confirms the existence of a small number of publications devoted to the experimental research of the gasdynamics and plasmodynamics of jets used as a heattransfer medium in the thermal methods of mine rocks destruction. There are almost no experimental and theoretical publications related to the multiple-jet plasmotrons research. The expediency of own experimental researches performing has been substantiated concerning the lateral inflow of heat-transfer medium high-speed jets on the borehole surface. An experimental research has been made of the interaction between the heattransfer medium high-speed jets and the surface of the borehole imitated by the through duct. The further prospects of this work are the following: to determine the gas velocity along the lateral surface of the through duct and the value of the heating capacity coefficient from the heat-transfer medium to the lateral surface of the through duct, which imitates the rock surface in the borehole. These parameters are required for creating a mathematical model of the brittle destruction of rocks.

ENG: Purpose. Study of the plasma flow interaction with the borehole surface in the process of its thermal reaming for determination of transient temperature distribution along the borehole surface and the average coefficient of heat transfer from the plasma flow to the borehole surface. Methods. Experimental study of the plasma flow interaction with the flange union with internal lateral surface simulating the rock surface in a borehole has been carried out. The essence of the experimental study is in measuring temperature of the flange union external side while the plasma flowing inside the flange union. To measure temperature on the external surface of the flange union, a chromel-alumel thermocouple with thermoelectrodes of 1.2 mm in diameter was used. In experimental research, plasma flows out through a nozzle directly to the flange union made of copper. The parameters of the flange union and the nozzle of plasmatron are geometrically similar. Findings. Experimental data are processed as a relationship between the temperature of the copper flange union lateral surface, i.e. borehole surface, and the time of the copper flange union heating by the heat carrier. Experimental data are processed as a dependence of temperature of the tin pipe side surface, i.e. surface of the borehole, on the location of temperature measurement point along the tin pipe and the time of the tin pipe heating by the heat carrier. Originality. Physical simulation modeling of the heat carrier (low temperature plasma) flow interaction with the borehole surface simulated by the copper flange union and the tin pipe in a certain range of geometrical parameters of the copper flange union, tin pipe and the plasmatron nozzle as well as thermophysical properties of the heat carrier assumed in accordance with geometrical similarity to the technological and design parameters of the plasmatron and borehole diameter before the beginning of thermal reaming process. Practical implications. Methodology of experimental research of the heat carrier (low temperature plasma) flow interaction with the borehole surface that was simulated by the copper flange union of the tin pipe is developed. The results of the influence by high-temperature heat carrier jets on the processes of fragile rock destruction are rather useful in the borehole drilling processes.
