Abstract: A centrifugal separator for separating liquid droplets from a gas flow can be used for scrubbing gases to be emitted into the atmosphere, as well as for separating water, oil and gas condensate droplets from a gas flow in any industry. The separator comprises a cylindrical body with axial gas flow inlet and outlet pipes and separated liquid removal sections located on the end surfaces of the body. A swirler and a central perforated pipe are installed in series and in axial alignment in the body from the gas inlet side. A conical displacer is installed in the perforated central pipe. Separation stage vanes are located between the central pipe and the conical displacer along the entire length of the displacer, and hydraulic seal vanes are placed at the same level between the central pipe and the body. The separator design provides a more efficient separation of liquid droplets from a high-velocity gas flow and can operate in any position.

Abstract: The invention is related to methods for determining thermophysical properties of solid bodies, particularly, to methods for determining thermal conductivity and volumetric heat capacity. In accordance with the method, a reference sample and sequentially located samples of solid bodies are heated by a thermal energy source moving at a constant speed relative to the reference sample and the samples being studied. Excessive temperatures of the surfaces of the reference sample and the studied samples at points on a line of heating are measured and the thermophysical properties of the reference sample and the samples being studied are determined. Arbitrary shape samples are used and thermal conductivity and volumetric heat capacity of the samples are determined by solving an inverse coefficient problem of thermal conductivity.

Abstract: The invention is related to the methods of solid bodies' thermophysical properties determination, particularly, to the methods of heat conduction and volumetric heat capacity determination. In accordance with the method heating of the reference sample and surface and sequentially located samples of the solid bodies in question is performed using a thermal energy source moving at a constant speed relative to the reference sample and samples-in-question. Excessive temperatures of the reference sample and samples-in-question at the points on the heating line are measured and by the excessive temperatures values the thermophysical properties are determined. Arbitrary shape samples are used and the samples' heat conduction and volumetric heat capacity are determined by solving the inverse-factor heat conduction problem.
