Hydrodynamic equations are derived of a nonmagnetic fluid in a static, Schwarzschild field taking into account electron-positron creation and annihilation. Solutions are given to these equations coupled to the radiation intensity equation; consistent solutions are obtained that describe the infalling plasma. It is found that the efficiency of conversion of gravitational energy into radiation energy can be a few percent, provided the mass of the central object is greater than 10 to the 7th solar masses. The spectrum of the emergent radiation is roughly described by a power law with the index greater than approximately one in the hard X-ray range.
