The paper presents the results of an experimental study of energy production in the Couette-Taylor heat generator with independent rotation of cylinders: the system is applied to solving the problem of direct conversion of wind energy into thermal energy. The system consists of two nested multicylinder rotors. The regimes for two counter-rotating rotors are studied. The study is focused on the rotor drag torque and the heat power of the generator as a function of the relative angular velocity of two rotors at a fixed viscosity of the working liquid or as a function of the working liquid viscosity at a steady relative angular velocity of two rotors. Representing of this multicylinder design of the heat generator to a form of a single equivalent annular channel between two rotating cylinders allows generalization of experimental data for the law of the drag torque and specific heat power as a function of the Reynolds number. This generalization offers a possibility of developing engineering methods for calculating the thermal parameters of various systems for fluid heating.

Couette-Taylor流动多缸系统中的热量产生

本文介绍了在汽缸独立旋转的库埃特-泰勒热发生器中产生能量的实验研究结果：该系统用于解决将风能直接转换为热能的问题。该系统由两个嵌套的多缸转子组成。研究了两个反向旋转转子的状态。这项研究的重点是在工作液体固定粘度下，转子拖曳转矩和发电机的热功率与两个转子的相对角速度的函数关系；在稳定的相对角速度下，与发电机的热量关系的函数两个转子。将热发生器的这种多缸设计表示为两个旋转缸之间的单个等效环形通道的形式，可以根据阻力雷诺和比热定律将实验数据归纳为雷诺数的函数。这种概括为开发用于计算用于流体加热的各种系统的热参数的工程方法提供了可能性。
