Modeling of gas dynamics in a pulse combustion chamber to predict initial drying process parameters
A mathematical model of gas-dynamical processes in a pulse combustion chamber for drying of materials is formulated with regard for the second viscosity. Results of numerical solution of the gas-dynamical problem are reported. In particular, it is shown that the time dependences of the gas pressure and velocity represent sinusoidal plots with a phase shift, Introduction of the dissipation term with a second viscosity factor is found to stabilize a computational process.
