The infl uence of the preliminary ionization of a combustible mixture and the excitation of its molecules by an electron
beam and an external electric fi eld on the intensity of burning of this mixture at diff erent rates of its excitation was
considered. Results of calculations of the ignition temperatures of a dry mixture of propane and air as well as of their

INTEGRAL TRANSFORM METHOD FOR SOLVING INHOMOGENEOUS HEAT EQUATION WITH MIXED BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
The inhomogeneous heat equation for a semi-infi nite cylindrical solid body with mixed boundary conditions of the
fi rst and second kinds on the surface of the cylinder was solved using the Laplace and Hankel integral transforms.
The solution of the mixed boundary-value problem was reduced to the dual integral equations which were solved
using an appropriate substitution, and their solution was fi nally reduced to the Fredholm integral equations of the
second kind which were solved by the infi nite series method

PLASMA IGNITION OF SOLID FUEL: MATHEMATICAL SIMULATION AND EXPERIMENT
A thermodynamic analysis was performed using the universal TERRA program, which made it possible to determine
the optimal parameters of the process of plasma ignition and stabilization of solid fuel combustion. Kinetic modeling
of the process of plasma ignition and stabilization of solid fuel combustion was carried out using the PlasmaKinTherm
program. Changes in temperatures, rates, and concentrations of high-temperature binary fuel components along the
length of the plasma–fuel system were revealed. In experiments on plasma ignition of an air mixture of Ékibastuz coal,
a stable torch was obtained, and its temperature, composition, and degree of carbon gasifi cation were determined.
A comparison of the experimental and calculated data showed their satisfactory agreement

DISTINCTIVE FEATURES OF THE PYROLYSIS AND GASIFICATION OF BIOMASS IN MICROWAVE HEATING IN A CO2 MEDIUM
The infl uence of a CO2 reactive medium and of a volume in the range 200–600 mL on the yield of basic components (CO, CO2, H2, and CH4) of a producer gas in microwave heating of biomass has been investigated. The dependences of the moderate and maximum concentrations of the gases on the volume of carbon dioxide fed to the chamber of a microwave reactor have been determined. Trends of variation in the concentrations of the enumerated gases with time have been obtained. Times of the onset of release of the concentrations of the gas components and their duration with variation of the CO2 volume fed to the chamber have been established. The infl uence of the feed of reactive gases on the mass of the char has been investigated. It has been shown that the injection of CO2 into the reactor
chamber exerts a positive infl uence on the intensifi cation of microwave pyrolysis of the biomass, with the result that
the yield of volatiles of the formed gas mixture rises.

OSCILLATORY VISCOMETER FOR MEASURING THE VISCOSITY OF LIQUIDS
Viscosity values of liquids are important for prediction of liquid fl ow in many oil and gas and chemical product
processes. In this paper, a description is given of a number of methods used for measuring the viscosity of liquids,
including the capillary, rotational, oscillatory, and sonic viscometries. A description is also given of a number of
models used for assessing the viscosity of elements, the dependence of viscosity on temperature, and the viscosity
of multicomponent systems, including the Arrhenius equation. The scatter in the data to be found in the literature is
emphasized by comparison of two data reviews on elements.

THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF LIQUID HYDROFLUOROCHLORINE OLEFINS IN THE RANGE FROM SATURATION LINE TO CRITERIAL PRESSURE
A method is proposed for predicting the thermal conductivity of liquid hydrofl uoroolefi ns (HFOs) and hydrochlorofl uoroolefi ns (HCFOs), which belong to the fourth generation of refrigerants, in the range of state parameters from the saturation line to the critical pressure (pcr) and from the triple point of temperature (Ttr) to the critical temperature (Tcr). Within the framework of the methodology, two correlation dependences are proposed approved using the example of describing the thermal conductivity of eight liquid HFO and HCFO refrigerants in the temperature range from Ttr to Tcr. One of the correlations is based on the correlations of S. Yang et al., within the
framework of which we took into account the requirements of the dynamic scale theory of the critical point, with the
other being developed on the basis of the criterion unit of L. P. Filippov. It is shown that both correlations with low
uncertainty describe data on the thermal conductivity of liquid HFO and HCFO refrigerants both on the saturation
line and in the single-phase region. It is also shown that within the limits of experimental uncertainty, the modernized
correlation of S. Yang et al. describes experimental data on the thermal conductivity of propane in the vicinity of
the critical point. Based on the proposed method, tabulated data on the thermal conductivity of liquid refrigerant
R1234ye(E) in the temperature range from 203.15 to 375.15 K were obtained for the fi rst time.

The specifi c features of the structure, as well as the main mechanical and thermophysical properties of a high-density
carbon–carbon composite material based on nonwoven frame are considered. The promise of using this material in
the manufacture of accelerating and emissive electrodes of an ion-optical ion source system is shown. The results of
the operation of an ion-optical system with two sets of electrodes with a diameter of 180 mm with a slot and a circular apertures as part of an experimental ion source HFIS-16IP are presented. Operating modes of the ion source
have been achieved that ensure a minimum half-angle of divergence of the ion beam when operating on xenon and
krypton with diff erent electrode confi gurations. The microstructure and elemental composition of the surfaces of the
electrodes of an ion-optical system were studied after testing the ion source. Comparative studies of electrode surfaces after their high-temperature annealing in vacuum were carried out

CHARACTERISTICS OF SURFACE DEFORMATION AND FRAGMENTATION OF DROPLETS OF HIGH-VISCOSITY LIQUIDS MOVING IN A GASEOUS MEDIUM
The results of experimental and theoretical studies of the characteristics of surface deformation and fragmentation of droplets of high-viscosity liquids (glycerol and melted Al2O3) moving in a gaseous medium are presented. Typical shapes of droplets, modes, and cycles of surface deformation, cycle durations and the amplitude have been established. Minimum relative velocities of the movement of droplets have been determined leading to fragmentation of droplets of high-viscosity liquids (glycerol and melted Al2O3). The infl uence of a group of factors on the characteristics
of deformation of droplets has been established: fl ow velocity (0–100 m/s) and initial sizes of droplets (1–5 mm).
Satisfactory agreement between experimental data and the results of theoretical calculations for high-viscosity
liquids (using the example of glycerol droplets) was obtained.

EXPERIMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF FLOW STRUCTURE IN A CYLINDER DURING AIR FLOW THROUGH POPPET VALVES OF DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS
Data are presented on the gas-dynamical structure of fl ow in the cylinder when it is fi lled through poppet valves
with heads in the form of a circle and a square. The studies were carried out on a laboratory setup simulating a
piston internal combustion engine. The air fl ow through the gas-dynamical system of the engine was carried out in
a stationary mode with an initial speed of 8 to 41 m/s. Thermograms of the fl ow structure were obtained for two
control sections of this system using the thermal imaging method. It has been established that the confi guration of the
cylinder valve head exerts a signifi cant impact on the structure in it and that in a cylinder with a round valve there
are pronounced stagnant zones. It has been shown that the use of valves with a square head ensures more uniform
fi lling of the cylinder with air throughout its entire volume compared to a traditional round valve. The data obtained
can be useful for refi ning mathematical models of the process of cylinder fi lling and for developing new methods of
modernizing valve assemblies of piston machines

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THE RANGE OF LARGE-SCALE VORTICES IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL TURBULENT JETS
Results of experiments, demonstrating the possibility of visualization and photograpy of dissipation-scale vortex
elements of a hydrodynamic turbulence, are presented. The reasons for the existence of large-scale vortices
of diff erent types in the initial region of turbulent jets were determined and the infl uence of such vortices on the
velocity distributions of the fl uid fl ows in all the regions of a free turbulent jet with geometric and regime parameters
varying in wide ranges was investigated. The measurements were performed for such a jet in the cases where it
was not subjected and was subjected to an acoustic action, and they were accompanied by the visualization of the
development of large-scale vortices in the initial and transient regions of the jet

RADIATION COOLING OF A NONMONODISPERSE DROPLET FLOW IN A FRAMELESS SYSTEM FOR REJECTION OF A LOW-POTENTIAL HEAT IN THE OUTER SPACE
The radiation cooling of a nonmonodisperse droplet fl ow in a droplet cooler-radiator was investigated. Diff erent
reasons for the deterioration of the monodispersion of such a fl ow were considered, and the characteristic deviations
of the sizes of the droplets in this fl ow from the standard ones under diff erent conditions were determined. The
infl uence of the monodispersion of the indicated fl ow on the overradiation of the droplets in it and on their cooling
was investigated numerically and analytically. The estimates obtained allow one to forecast the infl uence of the
nonmonodispersion of a droplet fl ow in a droplet cooler-radiator on the effi ciency of its work.

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF HEAVY LIQUID FLOW BY THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL NODAL METHOD OF CHARACTERISTICS
A variant of the inverse method of characteristics is presented, in the algorithm of which an additional fractional
time step is introduced, which makes it possible to carry out calculations with a large time step without loss of
accuracy and stability. Calculation formulas of the modifi ed inverse method of characteristics are given for a singlevelocity generalized equilibrium model of a gas–liquid mixture. When calculating multidimensional problems, the
original system of equations is split into a number of one-dimensional subsystems, for the calculation of which a
modifi ed inverse method of characteristics is applied. Using the proposed method, the spreading of a liquid column
under the infl uence of gravitational forces for fl at and axisymmetric cases, as well as a drop of liquid falling into a
hard smooth barrier were calculated. The calculation results are compared with the available experimental data

HYDRODYNAMICS OF A COOLANT IN THE OUTLET SECTION OF A CASSETTE TYPE FUEL ASSEMBLY
The results of experimental studies of the hydrodynamics of a coolant in the outlet section of a cassette fuel assembly
of the RITM reactor of a low-power nuclear power plant are presented. The purpose of the work was to study the
redistribution of axial velocity and coolant fl ow rate at the outlet of the fuel rod bundle, behind the fuel assembly cap,
near the coolant extraction pipe, and in the holes of the upper support plate. To achieve the goal, experiments were
carried out on a research stand with an air working medium on a model of the outlet section of the fuel assembly,
including the outlet fragment of the fuel rod bundle, the cap, the upper support plate with the coolant extraction
pipe. When conducting research, the pneumometric method and the method of injection of a contrast impurity were
used. An area covering the entire cross section of the model was chosen as the study area. The picture of the coolant
fl ow is represented by cartograms of the distribution of axial velocity and coolant fl ow rate, as well as cartograms
of the distribution of the contrast impurity. The experimental results can be used in the design of new active sections
of RITM reactors. The resulting experimental base can be used for local validation of CFD programs and onedimensional thermal-hydraulic codes used to substantiate the thermal reliability of cores.

INVESTIGATION OF THE PLASTIC DEFORMATION OF A ROTATING DISK FROM AN ALLOY REINFORCED WITH INCOHERENT NANOPARTICLES
An investigation has been conducted into the plastic deformation of a rotating disk from aluminum-based dispersionhardened alloy. The eff ects of the size of strengthening particles on a material′s strength properties have been
identifi ed. Simulation results show that the strengthening of a material with nanoparticles change substantially
strength characteristics. In alloys with shorter distances between the strengthening particles, a high disk rotation
frequency is required for achieving plastic deformation at one and the same volume fraction of particles. With increase
in temperature the material plasticizes more, i.e., it becomes more yielding, which is accompanied by a reduction in
the material fl ow stress. As a result, a decrease occurs in the rotation frequency at which plastic deformation begins.
With increase in the inner and external radii of the disk, at its one and the same width, the disk′s resistance to plastic
deformation decreases, and the beginning of plastic deformation occurs at a lower rotation frequency.

INFLUENCE OF THE IRRADIATION, BY A PULSED ELECTRON BEAM, OF THE SURFACE OF SILUMIN AK5M2 AS PART OF A METAL/CARBON-FIBER-REINFORCED-PLASTIC COMPOSITE ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
The authors have presented results of uniaxial-tension testing of specimens of the layered composite "silumin/carbonfi ber-reinforced-plastic" (AK5M2/CFRP). AK5M2-grade silumin of hypoeutectic composition with the irradiation
of the specimen′s surface by a pulsed laser beam was taken as the basic material. To create layered composites,
carbon unidirectional fabric "CARBONWRAP Tape 230" produced at the Joint Stock Company Nanotechnological
Center of Composites (NCC) was glued to the silumin surface. The binary epoxy compound "CARBONWRAP Resin
530+" produced at NCC was used as the binder. The uniaxial tension test of the specimens was implemented on
an INSTRON 3382 testing machine at an extension rate of 0.3 mm/min. The evolution of deformation fi elds on
the specimen′s surface was obtained using a VIC-3D digital optical system based on the method of correlation of
digital stereoscopic images. From the testing results, the diagrams of deformation under uniaxial tension of the
AK5M2/CFRP were constructed. The electron-microscopic image of the silumin surface layer was obtained by
the scanning-electron-microscopy methods. An analysis of the structure of its infl uence on the physicomechanical
properties was performed. An analysis of the strained state of the specimens was made by the patterns of distributions
of longitudinal and transverse deformations in space and time

ANALYSIS OF THE PROCESS OF THERMOSTABILIZATION OF A HIGH-TEMPERATURE SURFACE WITH DISPERSED FLOW
Experiments have been performed to investigate the effi ciency of the process of thermostabilization of a hightemperature surface with dispersed fl ow of a heat transfer agent at a pressure of 0.2–0.6 MPa in it and at a mass rate of fl ow of heat transfer agent of (3.3–6.15)·10–3 kg/s and a surface sprinkler density of 1.67–3.11 kg/(m2
·s).
Assessments have been made of the amount of heat transfer agent evaporating in all investigated heat transfer
regimes. An equation describing various heat transfer regimes has been obtained for heat transfer from a hightemperature surface to a dispersed fl ow of a heat transfer agent in a criterial form. Criterial equations qualitatively
describe experimental data within a small error, which indicates their satisfactory reproducibility in the said range
of regime parameters of the process

ON FILTRATION IN SOME PROBLEMS OF UNDERGROUND HYDRODYNAMICS
Simulation of fi ltration fl ows under the Zhukovskii sheet pile through a soil mass underlain by an impermeable base
or by a highly permeable pressure aquifer was carried out using two schemes within the framework of the theory
of fl at steady-state fi ltration of an incompressible fl uid according to Darcy's law. The infl uence of evaporation or
infi ltration on the free surface of ground water was studied based on solving mixed boundary-value problems of
the theory of analytical functions using the Polubarinova-Kochina method. Algorithms have been developed for
calculating the saturated zone of soil in the case of water moving in it is determined by the backing of the soil from
its impermeable base or the underlying well-permeable aquifer, evaporation or infi ltration on the free surface of
ground water and by soil capillarity

IMPREGNATION OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS BASED ON LONG CARBON FIBERS WITH A THERMOPLASTIC BINDER WHEN PRODUCING PREPREG
The fi ltration of liquid in carbon fi bers during their impregnation is considered. A quantitative relationship has
been proposed between the mechanical compressive properties of long fl at carbon threads and their permeability
coeffi cient in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the thread. A model based on a nonstationary solution
of a one-dimensional fi ltration problem has been developed for calculating the process of impregnation of fi bers
with a thermoplastic binder. As a result of a comparative analysis of experimental and calculated data, the dynamic
viscosity of the melt and an analogue of its surface tension forces were assessed.

DYNAMICS OF SATURATION OF A STRATUM IN THE ZONE OF PENETRATION OF A DRILLING AGENT INTO IT
A solution of the nonlinear problem on the driving of the oil from an oil-bearing stratum of fi nite length by the fi ltrate
of a drilling agent (fl ushing water) has been constructed with the use of the asymptotic method. On the basis of this
solution, the saturation fi eld of the stratum in the zone of penetration of the fl ushing water into it was investigated
with regard for the process of opening of the stratum by drilling. The indicated solution defi nes the movement, along
the thickness of the stratum, of the boundary, corresponding to the position of a drill bit, above which the saturation
of the stratum with the fi ltrate of the fl ushing water and the velocity of fi ltering of this water are prescribed, and,
below this boundary, the velocity of the water fi ltration fl ow and the stratum saturation are assumed to be equal to
zero. It is shown that, within large times, the solution obtained conforms with the known Buckley–Leverett expression.
On the basis of the computational experiments, spatial and time distributions of the stratum saturation in the zone
of penetration of the fl ushing water into it have been constructed with regard for the process of opening of the
stratum.

INFLUENCE OF THE GENERATION OF GAS BUBBLES IN FLOODED LEAD–ACID BATTERIES ON THEIR THERMAL BEHAVIOR
The thermal behavior of fl ooded lead–acid batteries with diff erent distances between their electrodes, in which there

the use of the PIV method. It was established that, in the case of small rates of charging and discharging of such a

INFLUENCE OF VARIOUS FACTORS ON THE FLOW OF A CHEMICALLY REACTIVE NON-NEWTONIAN FLUID IN A PLANE CHANNEL
A study has been made of the fl ow of a non-Newtonian polymer medium in a plane channel and of heat transfer in
it with boundary conditions of the fi rst kind for small Reynolds numbers and a large Péclet number with the Ellis
rheological model with a viscosity dependent on the temperature, pressure, and degree of chemical conversion of
the medium. Consideration was given to the fl ow of a high-viscosity medium with chemical reactions leading to an
abrupt increase in its viscosity for whose mathematical description the authors used a model that included the kinetic
chemical-reaction equation and the energy equation with a dissipative term. Signifi cant infl uence of various factors

MATHEMATICAL SIMULATION OF TURBULENT COMBUSTION OF AIR–PROPANE MIXTURE IN SWIRL FLOW
An investigation has been made into a turbulent combustion of an air–propane mixture in a swirl fl ow. To calculate
an averaged velocity of a chemical reaction, use was made of a combination of an eddy dissipation model and a
kinetic model with account for turbulent pulsations. The infl uence of a weak swirl on fl ame localization is low. If the
length of the recirculation zone occurring in a strong fl ow vortex exceeds the length of the prefl ame zone, the fl ame
front is entraped by the recirculation zone and moves upstream towards the channel inlet where fl ame stabilization
occurs. At the initial segment of the fl ow, the chemical reaction is determined by Arrhenius kinetics. In the region
directly adjacent to the fl ame, the combustion mechanism controlled by turbulence becomes signifi cant.
