Abstract
The known methods of gas-dynamic temperature stratification are reviewed. Attention is concentrated on an analysis of the possibilities of the gas dynamic stratification method proposed by the author. The method is based on the difference between the equilibrium temperature of a thermally insulated wall in supersonic flow and the adiabatic stagnation temperature of the gas. Certain possible practical applications of the method to various types of energy-converting apparatus are considered. The basic trends of fundamental and applied research in the field of gas-dynamic temperature stratification are formulated.
