Heat Release into the Ambient Medium from a Pulsed Heat Source of “Running Heat Wave” Type

An experimental study is performed of the radial distribution of the maximum ambient (air, water without forced agitation) temperatures at different distances from a pulsed cylindrical heat source with a “charge” of energy-producing mixtures of different composition burning frontally. Mechanisms of heat transfer from the source to the ambient medium are considered. The influence of the phase transition in the combustion products on the thermal pattern of heat transfer from the pulsed heat source to the ambient medium is discovered and explained.
