The master's thesis is devoted to the design development, the calculation of the thermal and gas-dynamic modes of operation of a furnace furnace of the baraban type, designed to heat metal products before quenching. In the course of work, heat engineering calculations were carried out for a new drum-type furnace design, the heat balance of the furnace was obtained, and computer simulation of gas dynamics in the working space of the chamber furnace was carried out in the Ansys Fluent software module. The results of the work can be used in the performance of research and development work at metallurgical enterprises, as well as in the educational process for training bachelors and undergraduates in the direction of “Metallurgy” (bachelor’s and master’s level). / Магистерская диссертация посвящена разработке конструкции, расчету теплового и газодинамического режимов работы камерной печи барабанного типа, предназначенной для нагрева металлических изделий перед закалкой.

This paper covers information research of basic design rules of industrial wet sumps. It describes mathematical models of vortices and method for their identification and visualization. Then the author focuses on CFD modeling of surface vortices with single phase and multiphase approach with Volume of Fluid method. Basic principles of multiphase CFD modelling in OpenFOAM and ANSYS Fluent are given. Description and benchmarking of suitable turbulence models is also present. The single phase and multiphase approach were successfully validated for a simple test case of bathtub surface vortex. Satisfactory agreement with experimental data was achieved. The accuracy and behavior of both solvers were compared between each other. This gives us useful tool for evaluation of inflow condition and danger of surface vortex occurrence in wet sumps. The acquired knowledges were used to design an experimental test case with geometry similar to industrial wet sump. A map of surface vortex occurrence has been created for different operating points. One of the operating point has been used for numerical simulation (both single phase and multiphase). Partial agreement with experimental observation has been achieved.

This thesis is focused on electron microscopy which issue is discussed at the beginning of work. The main attention is dedicated to the Environmental electron microscope, especially the differentially pumped chamber, which the thesis deals with. There is a production of an experimental chamber for analysis of shock waves on going therefore main goal of this thesis was to analyze the flow pattern in this chamber. Using the Ansys Fluent program, simulations of the characteristic flow that arises from the pumping of the vacuum chambers namely the ultrasonic flow at low pressures on which the most suitable turbulent module was applied as well as the degree of discretization was performed. The final analysis of this flow pattern is primarily focused on the localization of the shock wave which experimental evidence is to be lodged by shadow optical method as a part of the new concept of the chamber. The basis for the simulation of the chamber was taken over by Dr. Danilatos, with which the results were compared.
