Mathematical Modeling of a Thermal Converter with a Cylindrical Heat Pipeline and a Lumped Heat Source

Consideration has been given to the issues of a functional scheme and substantiation of the efficiency of thermal converters to monitor the moisture content of a flow of liquid materials. Furthermore, in the work, two basic types of physical models, i.e., with lumped and distributed heat sources, have been identified on the basis of a segment of a pipeline with radial orifices, in which there are cylindrical probes with heating and thermosensitive elements across the liquid-material flow.
