Calculation of the surface temperature of liquid under conditions of combined heat and mass transfer

A relationship is derived for the calculation of the surface temperature of a layer of liquid in the process of combined heat and mass transfer. It is demonstrated that, in the case of similarity of the laws of heat and mass transfer, this temperature is constant. The results of numerical and analytical calculations of the surface temperature of a layer of liquid are compared, and the conditions of validity of the calculation formulas based on the small contact time approximation are determined.     

Interaction of a shaped-charge jet with moving reactive armor plates

The mechanisms of the stationary and nonstationary interaction between a metal shaped charge jet and the front reactive armor plate (moving toward the jet) and rear (moving behind the jet) reactive armor plate. The range of interaction parameters in which these mechanisms take place was determined. The interaction of the shaped-charge jet with the front plate is mainly stationary and leads to the wearing of the jet in the transverse direction (reduction in the diameter of the jet) and its deflection by a small angle. The interaction of the shaped-charge jet with the rear plate is mainly of a nonstationary discrete nature and forms unilateral transverse perturbations in the jet, which, developing, lead to its bending and subsequent destruction.
