Abstract

Mathematical models simulating the process of heat and mass transfer in a multiphase flow and taking into account the thermal conductivity of the working fluid, taking into account its location in space, physical properties and other characteristics, are difficult to implement in the form of software. Usually such models are represented by nonlinear equations, which makes it difficult to implement them correctly using numerical methods. When developing such mathematical models, hydrodynamics, heat transfer of a moving working fluid and the dependence of viscosity on temperature and velocity gradient are not taken into account. (Research purpose) The research purpose is developing a mathematical model of the functioning of the heat supply system as a set of cylindrical pipelines with a heat source through which the working fluid moves. Additional conditions are introduced to achieve high accuracy of calculations at boundary points. The possibility of using analytical equations to calculate the internal heat dissipation during the transportation of the working fluid inside the pipeline is studied. (Materials and methods) Using the two-phase delay theory (DPL-model) and the finite element method (FEM) as flow balancing methods, we obtain a model of the heat exchange of the working fluid motion in the pipeline with the possibility of taking into account relaxation properties. (Results and discussion) The developed algorithm is implemented using the high-level interpreted programming language MATLAB and its simulation environment for complex technical systems Simulink. (Conclusions) Equations modeling the real motion of a multiphase working fluid in locally nonequilibrium systems, including heat supply systems, are obtained. The results obtained make it possible to compile an algorithm and implement it using the high-level interpreted programming language MATLAB, defining a working version of the software for modeling heat and mass transfer processes in a multiphase flow.
