The Evaporation of Quartz Particles behind Strong Shock Waves in Slightly Dusty Air

Parametric calculations are performed of the evolution of micron spherical particles of quartz dust in a high-temperature air flow behind strong shock waves with the forward flow velocity ranging from $1.6$ to $2.6$ km/s $(6 < \text{M} < 9)$ and the altitude ranging from $15$ to $20$ km in the Earth's atmosphere. The calculation results are used to determine the limits of the characteristic states of partial and complete evaporation of the disperse phase. The model of the processes of nonequilibrium energy transfer includes vibrational relaxation in the gas phase, heterogeneous relaxation involving the dispersed phase, heating, sublimation, melting, evaporation, and equilibrium radiation of particles.
