IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE COOLING SYSTEM OF DIESEL ENGINE WITH USING PHASE TRANSITIONS OF HEAT TRANSFER AGENT
The possibility of using the phase transitions of coolant in the cooling system of locomotive diesel engine is considered. Identified strengths, weaknesses and prospects of this area. This design of the cooling system of diesel locomotives using fluid phase transitions, as well as a rational physical properties and chemical composition of the fluid. It also describes the theoretical and experimental studies of serial sections of radiator steam condenser mode, the mathematical modeling of heat transfer during condensation of steam in the flat-oval tubes, and the results of the regression analysis of experimental data.
