Physical statement of problem. The following physical picture of processes is characteristic for technological devices of a high-speed gas flame spraying of coatings, thermo-abrasive processing and jet grinding. The particles together with hydrocarbonaceous combustible and oxidant move to the combustor of gas-dynamic passage, in which there is their acceleration, heating and, in a case necessities, melting. The additional acceleration of particles takes place in a free supersonic jet. The acceleration of carrier gas in a gas-dynamic passage is made at shape of passage or by using of additional gas feeders. Terminating processes happen in an shock layer generated at impact of a two-phase jet about handled surface or at collision of jets.
Mathematical Models. The two-phase flow in a gas-dynamic passage of the gas-dynamic device is described by quasi one-dimensional equations of gas dynamics which are taking into account friction and convective heat exchange of for a two-phase flow with the passage walls as well as friction and heat exchange between phases. The parameters of a two-phase flow at the feeders outlet are calculated using balance rations on known parameters at feeder inlet and ones supplied through its walls. Particle parameters at passage through gas inlet section are stable. The supersonic flow in a free supersonic jet is described by hyperbolic two-dimensional equations. Heat exchange and interphase friction are taking into account. The equation numerical integration is carried out with the use of marching lengthwise the jet axis.
