Popis: The influence of a turbulent mixing (TM), developed at the unstable boundary of a liquid layer accelerated by a hot compressed gas flow, on the efficiency of the subsequent energy transfer from the accelerated liquid layer to a gas layer compressed by the liquid was experimentally studied. It was found that the TM development may significantly decrease the energy takeoff by the accelerated liquid layer, which is explained by cooling of the hot compressed gas as a result of the increased heat transfer from gas to liquid in the TM zone. The experimental data indicate that the gas energy losses can reach several tens percent.
