(MM Publishing s.r.o., Praha, Czechia, 2024) Rimar, Miroslav; Fedak, Marcel; Kulikov, Andrii; Bilonozhko, M. V.; Rudko, K. V.; Martynova, V. V.; Yeromin, Oleksandr O.; Savvin, Oleksandr V.; Sukha, Iryna V.; Krenicky, Tibor
ENG: The probability of test object compliance with the specified requirements and non-binary decision is a measure of how likely the test object is to meet the criteria for acceptance or rejection based on multiple factors. It is necessary to calculate by using a valid mathematical model that takes into account the test object's characteristics, the test conditions, the test criteria, and the uncertainty of the measurements. The significance of the probability of test object compliance with the specified requirements and non-binary decision can help to evaluate the quality, reliability, and performance of the test object, as well as to support decision making in complex situations.
Characteristics of Thermal Processes in Ant Nests Built Under Stones (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
(“Charles Darwin” Sapienza University of Rome, Italy, 2022) Stukalyuk, Stanislav; Radchenko, Yury M.
ENG: Ants prefer to nest under stones. This is due to temperature regimes favorable to the development of ant broods. In this paper, we investigated the influence of stone and ambient parameters on ant nests and created a model of thermal processes in ant nests under stones. The simulation results were compared with temperature measurements. Temperature was measured under 20 stones under different illumination conditions (sun, penumbra and shade) for 3 ant species (Myrmica rubra, Formica cinerea, Lasius niger) in Ukraine from April to August 2021. Stones were categorized as hot, warm and cold. Each stone was checked once a week for the number of workers and brood. Under two stones, tem¬perature was measured using loggers. The number of workers under hot stones in spring increased three weeks earlier than under cold and warm ones. In May-June, the maximum number of workers was recorded under hot stones. In July, the number of ants was minimal under all categories of stones. Larvae appeared under hot stones two weeks earlier than under other categories of stones. In August, the number of pupae under cold and warm stones was greater than under hot ones. Number of larvae and pupae was positively influenced by the diameter of the stone, whereas stone height did not exert an important role. Ants preferred to inhabit nests under large flat stones, which are easily heated in spring and warm the soil under them. Another important characteristic was the location of the stones. The highest brood development was noted in nests under stones in open areas well lit by the sun in the daytime. In summer ants migrated from under hot stones, because soil under it dry and warmed. Stones and their position may be important factors in accelerating the development of brood in colonies of ant species that do not have active thermoregulation.

(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2024) Kolienko, Anatoliy G.; Ahmednabiev, R. M.; Gupalo, Olena V.; Demchenko, O. V.; Hukasian, O. M.
ENG: The article presents the results of research aimed at determining the parameters and characteristics of storage heating systems, justifying the possibility of using heat accumulators to increase the efficient use of energy that is generated, including from renewable sources. The virtuality, frequency and significant dependence on natural conditions and climate of renewable energy sources, as well as the need to optimize their installed capacity, leads to the need to use energy storage installations. The presence of efficient energy batteries is a prerequisite for modern efficient energy and heat supply systems. The methodology of the work is based on our own theoretical and experimental studies, which provide practical recommendations for the arrangement of energy accumulators obtained using renewable heat sources. This is especially relevant for Ukraine during the period of active military operations on its territory, the destruction of traditional energy sources and a shortage of generating capacity. Recommendations have been developed for the design of heat accumulators for heating systems of residential and public buildings. Their effectiveness has been assessed under conditions of limited use of fossil fuels and the use of hybrid energy sources. Scientific and practical results of the work make it possible to carry out low-cost reconstruction of heating systems for the introduction of storage systems using electrical energy, the source of which is wind and solar energy. Such developments are becoming particularly relevant in Ukraine, taking into account the requirements for ensuring the stability and efficiency of infrastructure facilities in war conditions.
Development of a Mathematical Model for the Energy Balance of the Laser Cladding Process of Metallic Powders with a Coaxial Nozzle
(MM Publishing s.r.o., Praha, Czechia, 2024) Karakash, Yevhen O.; Rimar, Miroslav; Karpovych, Olena; Zhumar, Denys; Kizek, Jan; Fedak, Marcel; Kulikov, Andrii
ENG: Modern technologies require innovative solutions for producing complex structures from various materials. Additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing presents such a challenge and has significantly impacted the environment across manufacturing sectors, regardless of size. Researchers and technicians have developed new design approaches by exploring fundamental components, materials, and manufacturing processes beyond traditional frameworks, addressing global complex material and design challenges. Laser cladding of metal powders with a coaxial nozzle is one such technology, offering highly productive processes for large-scale component production. Fiber lasers are optimal for providing laser radiation, ensuring required emission quality and stability. The authors seek to develop a mathematical model for the energy balance of coaxial laser cladding of metal powders, aiming to provide an overview of energy consumption levels and unit characteristics for powder delivery, inert gas, and laser radiation sources in direct metal powder coating setups.
Effect of Urban Habitats on Colony Size of Ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae). In Memory of Professor A. A. Zakharov (Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow)
(Turkish Academic Network and Information Center, 2022) Stukalyuk, Stanislav; Akhmedov, Ascar; Gilev, Alexey; Reshetov, Alexander; Radchenko, Yuri M.; Kosiuk, Nataly
ENG: Urbanized ecosystems are suitable for the habitat of only a few species of ants, due to conditions caused by human activities. Invasive species of ants have adapted to urbanized ecosystems most successfully. The study of the ant colonies sizes started in Crimea in 2013–2014. In 2019–2021 it was carried out in Ukraine (the Carpathians, Kyiv city, and Kyiv region), in Russia (Rostov-on-Don city and region, and the Urals), and in Uzbekistan (Tashkent city, and tugai forests). The study covers natural (forest, meadow, steppe), suburban (alleys and tree planting) and urban habitats (tree planting along streets and roads, botanical gardens). Our study covers 21 species of ants with trails on forage areas. Nine species were sampled for interspecific comparison of colony sizes. They were collected in at least 2 habitat types within the same geographic region. According to the activity parameter on the trails, the number of foragers and the population of the colony were calculated (using the formula of A. Zakharov). According to our calculations, the maximum colony sizes are typical for invasive species (Crematogaster subdentata, Lasius neglectus, 100–7500 thousand workers) in the urban habitats. Some native species (Dolichoderus quadripunctatus, Formica cinerea) in the urban areas have colonies with 120–350 thousand workers. These values may exceed those for ant species inhabiting natural habitats (30–250 thousand workers). High rates of colony size in the urbanized habitats can be achieved due to availability of food, nesting resources, and the absence of competing ant species.
Identification of the Thermal Process in an Induction Motor
(Dnipro University of Technology, Dnipro, Ukraine, 2022) Kuznetsov, Vitalii V.; Tryputen, M.; Nikolenko, Anatolii V.; Tsyplenkov, Dmytro; Kuvaiev, Victor; Savvin, Oleksandr V.
ENG: Purpose: synthesis of a mathematical model of an asynchronous motor, taking into account the impact of changes in the quality of electricity on the processes of heating and heat exchange for an economically justified choice of means of protection. Methodology: Theoretical substantiation of the expediency of using a one-mass thermal model of an asynchronous motor, for the conditions of operation of the latter in conditions of low-quality electricity, in order to determine losses in it. Results: Experimental studies of the operation of an asynchronous motor at nominal load were carried out. The obtained results of the measurements made it possible to determine the parameters of the single-mass thermal model, the heat transfer coefficient of the engine, and the coefficient of its heat capacity. A single-mass thermal model of an induction motor is a mathematical model used to describe the thermal processes occurring in an induction motor. This model is based on the assumption that all motor elements can be combined into one mass that heats up during engine operation. The model assumes that the thermal capacity of the motor is a constant, and the heat flow that is released during the operation of the motor is proportional to the square of the current passing through the motor windings. In addition, the model assumes the presence of thermal conductivity between the mass of the motor and the external environment, which affects the rate of heat dissipation. Scientific novelty: A methodology for determining losses in an asynchronous motor using a synthesized mathematical model is proposed, taking into account the influence of changes in the quality of electricity on the processes of heating and heat exchange in it. Practical significance: The obtained results indicate the adequacy of the proposed thermal model of an asynchronous motor operating in a network with low-quality electricity. Taking into account the fact that for many types of engines in the reference literature, there are no necessary data on the coefficients of heat transfer and heat capacity, and only the thermal time constants for certain types of engines are given, the value of the specified parameters of the model can be obtained on the basis of the methodology presented in the work. A single-mass thermal model can be useful for analyzing the thermal processes occurring in an induction motor and for improving the efficiency of the motor. In particular, it can help determine the optimal operating temperature of the motor, as well as calculate the necessary cooling system to ensure stable operation of the motor under conditions of variable load and temperature conditions.

(НМетАУ, Дніпро, 2021) Yasev, Aleksandr Georgievich
ENG: Improvement quality of preparation specialists in area of mathematical modeling is an actual problem in education students (especially applied) and non mathematical specialties. For solving this problem must be used system and successive exposition of maintenance of the stages of building model with obligatory demonstration of there intercommunications. Each stage of modeling makes some part of quality of model. Most difficult stage is idealization of original, because in this case the most important properties of original must be distinguished and the experimental samples of output of variables of original and calculation samples of model are got.. Main attention it must be spared to estimation of adequacy original and model with the help of famous nonparametric criteria such as criterion Wilcoxon and special criterion for small samples. Last part of modeling usually is optimization parameters of original. Methodology of study, that provides a receipt of the deeper and complete understanding of essence of mathematical modeling of technical objects is offered. Positive results are achieved by using method which is proposed. System exposition of material and accent on research and proof adequacy of model allow to attain the deeper and complete understanding of essence of mathematical design of technical objects and promote efficiency of preparation of specialists in area of the applied mathematical modeling.
Improving the Technology of Using Freon-Steam Turbines in Mine Power Complexes
(IOP Publishing, 2022) Kirsanov, Mykhailo; Slobodiannykova, Inna; Gupalo, Olena V.
ENG: Mining power complexes can significantly reduce the cost of production of mining enterprises and increase their competitive position in the relevant market. To solve the urgent problem of further improving the operation of mine energy complexes, it is proposed to include in their composition installations for the useful use of energy from low-potential sources with a freon-steam turbine, which implement the thermodynamic Rankine cycle. The article considers the features of the organization of the Rankine cycle depending on the properties of freons. When choosing freons, the emphasis is placed on the use of strictly ozone-safe freons that meet modern requirements for normalizing the value of the global warming potential. The previously proposed method for calculating the thermodynamic parameters necessary for evaluating useful action’s coefficient of using specific freons in a useful energy recovery equipment has been improved. The calculation of the energy efficiency of the equipment with a freon-steam turbine for the selected options for the use of freons is performed. The analysis of the obtained results showed that the use of ozone-safe freons with low values of the global warming potential in installations for the utilization of energy from low-potential sources will improve the operation of mine energy complexes.
The Influence of Reactive Power Compensation Methods on the Burning Characteristics of Shunted Electric Arc in an Ore Reduction Furnace
(Dnipro University of Technology, Dnipro, 2024) Nezhurin, Vadym I.; Nikolenko, Anatolii V.; Tsyplenkov, D.; Bobrov, O.; Fedorov, Serhii S.; Savvin, Oleksandr V.
ENG: The purpose of the work was to study the effect of compensation on the stability of the combustion of an electric arc in the furnace bath. Methodology. The results of the research of operating furnaces by traditional methods, such as measurement and oscillography of the form of voltage and current on the electrodes during the smelting of ferroalloys, were used. Results. Schemes of transverse capacitive compensation on the high or medium voltage side and longitudinal capacitive compensation in the medium voltage circuit of the furnace transformer are used for Electric ore reduction furnaces. Electric ore reduction furnaces are large consumers of reactive power, and their power has already reached such an amount that the value of the inductive voltage drop becomes unacceptably large; and their natural power factor does not exceed the value of 0.6–0.7. Compensation of the reactive power of the longitudinal compensation devices is traditionally resolved by usage of capacitor banks. Determined that longitudinal compensation devices are based on the phenomenon of voltage resonance, then if there are active, inductive and capacitive resistances in the furnace circuit – the arc burns continuously, even in the case of partial compensation. This mode occurs at a power factor of about 0.85. In case of full compensation of the inductive component of resistance of the furnace circuit, the mode of arc burning changes and becomes intermittent. Scientific novelty. Determined that with a fixed value of the power factor and the value of conductivity bc, it is very difficult to achieve ideal current resonance, and when bc = −⌂bl+bl+⌂blс the burning mode of the electric arc will be continuous; however, if the capacitive conductivity becomes more inductive, overcompensation is possible. In the case of transverse compensation, the total power of the furnace unit should be approximately 10% higher. Practical significance. The results obtained can be used for a reasoned selection of reactive power compensation installations for existing ore reduction electric furnaces. With full compensation of the reactive power (transverse and longitudinal), the arc burning mode of the ore reduction furnace becomes intermittent.
Method of Sequential Approximation in Modelling the Processes of Heat Transfer and Gas Dynamics in Combustion Equipment
(MDPI, Switzerland, 2022) Rimar, Miroslav; Yeromin, Oleksandr O.; Larionov, Grigoriy; Kulikov, Andrii; Fedak, Marcel; Krenicky, Tibor; Gupalo, Olena V.; Myanovskaya, Yana V.
ENG: The behavior of the processes taking place in furnaces determines the efficiency of fuel chemical energy utilization, the quality of the final products and the environmental safety of the production. Mathematical models of the processes of gas dynamics and heat transfer in the working space of heating equipment are quite complex, and do not allow the establishment of a direct analytical relationship between the quality indicator of the process (F) and the influencing parameters (xi). To simplify the procedure for obtaining the values of the function F depending on the change of parameters xi, a method of successive approximation is presented in the article. The main idea of the method is that the representation of the function around a point from the domain of the function can be extended to the entire domain for many problems of mechanics. The relative error in the definition of the function acquires its maximum value at the border of the area, and a reasonable narrowing of it allows control of the size of the error. Thus, the advantages of using the method are obvious; it is able to provide approximation of the function in a multiplicative form with a controlled error. The distribution of the method to the field of heat transfer problems is presented in this paper. The successful implementation of this method for solving problems of this kind shows that the solution of practical problems may be generalized for the entire domain of the function, despite the fact that the errors of such a representation increase to 5–7% when approaching its limit, which, however, may be considered acceptable for engineering calculations.
Mixed Colonies of Lasius Umbratus and Lasius Fuliginosus (Hymenoptera, Formicidae): When Superparasitism May Potentially Develop into Coexistence: a Case Study in Ukraine and Moldova
(Organisation for Conservation and Study of Biodiversity (CSBD) in collaboration with ANeT-India, 2021) Stukalyuk, Stanislav; Radchenko, Yury M.; Gonchar, Oleksiy; Akhmedov, Ascar; Stelia, Valery; Reshetov, Alexander; Shymanskyi, Artem
ENG: In 2015, in the territory of Kyiv (Ukraine) and in 2012-2017 in Transnistria (Moldova), two mixed colonies consisting of two species of ants – Lasius fuliginosus and L. umbratus were observed. Another 2 mixed colonies were discovered in 2021 in the territory of the city of Rivne (Ukraine). The aim of the study was to describe the observed mixed colonies, analyze the interaction of workers of two species on the trails, and by mathematical modelling to determine the probability of preserving queens of both species as part of a mixed colony. On the trails of the colonies from Kyiv and Rivne, the number of workers of L. fuliginosus is slightly higher than that of L. umbratus, so is the number of L. Fuliginosus workers in the colony. Workers of both species were making contact both within the same species and interspecific contacts, but trophobiosis with aphids has been recorded only by L. fuliginosus. The most likely of the 4 options considered was the survival of the queens of both species, otherwise the dynamics of the population over 6 years of development (total population of the mixed colony from Kyiv: 27 thousand workers of L. umbratus, 72 thousand workers - L. fuliginosus and two colonies with same population from Rivne) is difficult to explain. The possibility of such mixed colonies co-existing for at least a few years is debated.
New Working Fluids for the Use of Heat Secondary Sources in Mining Technologies
(IOP Publishing, 2023) Kirsanov, Mykhailo; Gupalo, Olena V.; Podoliak, Kostiantyn
ENG: Production cost of mining enterprises can be significantly reduced when using secondary heat. A large volume of secondary heat sources has a temperature potential of no higher than 50ºС. To generate additional electricity using secondary heat it has been proposed to use installations with the Rankine thermodynamic cycle in mining enterprises. The paper aim is to study the thermodynamic efficiency of using R-1234yf and R-744 in the equipment, which uses the secondary heat of mining technologies for evaporation of these working fluids. R-1234yf is a freon that belongs to the class of hydrofluoroolefins and has a much lower level of global warming potential than other ozone-depleting substances. R-744 is carbon dioxide, which belongs to a natural, non-toxic and non-flammable working substance. It has been determined that the thermodynamic efficiencies of using R-1234yf and R-744 are 10% and 6.3%, respectively. The thermodynamic efficiency has been calculated for the temperature range from 50º to 20ºC, which is typical for a large volume of secondary heat sources in mining technologies.
Nonlinear Analysis of Bifurcatory Properties of Mathematical Model of Subpopulation Dynamics in the Case of a Single Niche for Subpopulation
(IEEE, 2022) Kuzenkov, Olexandr; Busher, Victor; Chornyi, Oleksii; Nikolenko, Anatoliy V.; Kuznetsov, Vitaliy V.; Savvin, Oleksandr V.
ENG: The article is devoted to the use of mathematical models of the dynamics of heterogeneous populations, and computer simulation based on the above models allows to identify general trends in subpopulations, predict the state of the system and obtain results on possible consequences of artificial intervention. Also, the use of mathematical models can predict the spread of genetic anomalies. The authors propose a model of subpopulation dynamics with a logistic function as a basic one. It is concluded that the system-wide dynamics of subpopulation processes depends not only on the reproductive potential of subpopulations, but also on the intrasystemic dynamics that objectively occur in such systems. The adequacy of the proposed mathematical model is proved. © 2022 IEEE.
Patterns of Air Mixture Movement in the Operating Area for the Annular Ejector of Pneumatic Transportation System
(НТУ «Дніпровська політехніка», Дніпро, 2023) Ponomarenko, Serhii M.; Potapchuk, Iryna Yu.; Kabakova, Liudmyla B.; Radchenko, Yurii M.
ENG: Purpose. To establish the regularities of two-phase flow of “gas-solid particles” in the operating area of an annular ejector where the following processes take place: air mixture ejecting, compressed air outflow from the ejector nozzle, air mixture flows mixing in the transport pipeline. In the work, the velocity distribution is also examined for dispersed phase and air phase of air mixture during its loading and accelerating in the transport pipeline of the pneumatic transport system. Methodology. The research is based on the fundamental approaches of mass point dynamics, aerodynamics, the theory of jet flows and iteration methods of numerical solution of equations. Findings. The mechanics of the air mixture flow under the ejection and aerodynamic force in the operating area of an annular ejector and at the beginning of transport pipeline is analyzed using the method of iterations. The impact of air mixture flow in the operating area of an annular ejector on energy performance of the pneumatic transport system is evaluated. Originality. The originality is that, for the first time, the regularities describing two-phase “gas-solid particles” flow at the loading area of the pneumatic transport system with an annular ejector have been obtained. This made it possible to characterize the velocity distribution of the dispersed and air phases of the air mixture during their loading and aerodynamic acceleration in the transport pipeline. Also, an innovative approach to the effectiveness of the use of pipeline pneumatic transport is the assessment of the energy indicators of the use of ejector-type pneumatic transport equipment depending on the rate of compressed air outflow from the ejector. Practical value. The implementation of the results in the modernization of existing and in the creation of new pneumatic transport systems with an annular ejector makes it possible to increase the efficiency of their use in the technological processes of moving dispersed materials at mining and metallurgical enterprises and in other areas of technology.
Phenomena at Three-Phase Electroslag Remelting
(Springer Nature, 2021) Liu, Zhong-li; Medovar, Lev; Stovpchenko, Ganna; Petrenko, Volodymyr; Sybir, Artem; Volchenkov, Yev.
ENG: The electroslag remelting (ESR) process is widely used to produce high-quality ingots and billets for high-alloyed steels and alloys. Both the single-phase and three-phase alternating current diagram with bifilar and monofilar connection are in use for heavy ingot manufacturing. The numerical simulation of the three-phase bifilar circuit for the 120 t three-phase bifilar six-electrode ESR furnace at different variants of electric connection was presented and discussed. At the bifilar diagram of power supply, the geometrical location of electrodes in a mould holds critical importance for performances: the close location of bifilar pair electrodes provides the highest heat productivity, but the equidistant location of electrodes gives a much more uniform heat distribution. The monofilar mulit-electrode diagram of three-phase connection without phase shift shows the most uniform distribution of potential and heat generation as well as a favorable magnetic field that makes this kind the most promising for providing a high quality of heavy ingots.
The Phenomenon of a Mixed Colony: The Case of Lasius Brunneus and Lasius Umbratus (hymenoptera, Formicidae)
(Publishing House “Akademperiodyka”, Kyiv, 2024) Stukalyuk, S.; Radchenko, Yurii M.; Akhmedov, A.; Stelia, V.
ENG: The aim of this work is to study to find out why, in the case of temporary social parasitism, a mixed colony of Lasius brunneus (Latreille, 1798) and Lasius umbratus (Nylander, 1846) exists in this state for many years. In 2023, a mixed colony of L. brunneus (host species) / L. umbratus (temporary social parasite) was discovered in Moldova. This mixed colony is located at the same site where another mixed colony containing Lasius fuliginosus (Latreille, 1798), L. umbratus disappeared in 2017. Video recordings of the intensity of movement of workers of the two species along the trails were made to study the frequency of antennal contacts and to calculate the colony population. Based on the previously used algorithms, it was assumed that the queen oviposition rate of L. umbratus is 1.5 times higher than that of L. niger, while that of L. brunneus is comparable to that of Lasius niger (Linnaeus, 1758). Chi-square test and post-hoc Dunn's test were used for statistical analysis of the data. Mathematical modelling was used to analyse the rate of colony development. Results of the analysis of worker activity on the trail showed that L. brunneus had 11 times more foragers than L. umbratus. A high number of interspecific antennal contacts between workers was recorded. The population of the mixed colony was estimated to be 48.880 L. brunneus and 24.433 L. umbratus workers. Mathematical modelling confirmed the failure of L. brunneus monogyny in a mixed colony and suggested that high L. brunneus abundance is ensured by multiple queens (oligogyny). Probably in 2021, the L. brunneus colony moved to a new habitat, which was invaded by the L. umbratus queen. After the invasion, several L. brunneus queens survived, allowing a mixed colony to exist.
Prediction of Fuel Consumption and Carbon Dioxide Emission when Replacing Gaseous Fuels with Renewable Hydrogen or Their Mixture
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2024) Gupalo, Olena V.; Yeromin, Oleksandr O.; Kabakova, Liudmyla; Kolienko, Anatoliy; Kirsanov, Mykhailo; Kulikov, Andrii
ENG: The paper is devoted to predicting changes in fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions when industrial equipment is converted to heating with renewable hydrogen or a mixture of it with other gaseous fuels, such as natural gas. The authors developed a simplified methodology that is appropriate for assessing changes in the energy consumption of equipment and the environmental impact of fuel replacement at the stage preceding the equipment reconstruction. The peculiarity of the methodology is that it allows the calculation of fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions when fuel replacement is accompanied by the implementation of measures aimed at improving the energy efficiency of equipment. The methodology can be used for heating and thermal furnaces in metallurgy and mechanical engineering, units for heat treatment of raw materials in the mining and processing industries, heating devices in the food industry, and water and steam boilers. In the example of replacing natural gas with its mixture with renewable hydrogen of different compositions, it is shown that the calculation error using the proposed methodology in comparison with the results obtained by mathematical modeling of fuel combustion, gas flow and heat transfer in this furnace does not exceed 1.5%.
Rheological Properties of Polymer-Polymer Mixtures on Corn Starch Base
(MM Publishing s.r.o., Praha, Czechia, 2022) Rimar, Miroslav; Tretyakoff, Artem; Sukhyy, Kostyantyn M.; Yeromin, Oleksandr O.; Kulikov, Andrii; Fedak, Marcel; Belyanovskaya, Elena; Shunkin, Ihnat; Gupalo, Olena V.; Krenicky, Tibor
ENG: The prospects for the use of polymer-polymer mixtures based on corn starch as alternative thermoplastic materials to polyolefins are considered. Rheological curves have been obtained, which confirm the possibility of processing such mixtures on standard equipment into products. It is shown that the starch content in polymer-polymer mixtures can reach 90 mass percent. Compared to existing biodegradable polymers, plasticized starch-based material is in no way inferior to them in terms of processability. Studies of the mechanical properties of polymer-polymer mixtures based on corn starch have been carried out. The data obtained indicate the possibility of using the developed composites as packaging materials, as well as alternative materials to known bioplastics and synthetic polymers.
Selection Criteria of Working Pairs Adsorbent – Adsorbate for Thermal Energy Transformers
(MM Science Journal, Czech Republic, 2022) Rimar, Miroslav; Sukhyy, Kostyantyn M.; Belyanovskaya, Elena; Yeromin, Oleksandr O.; Prokopenko, Elena M.; Kulikov, Andrii; Fedak, Marcel; Frolova, Lilia; Pustovoy, Grigoriy; Kulikova, Olha; Savko, Vitalii
ENG: In the manuscript the main factors that affect the thermal mass of open and closed types of heat storage devices are shown. Also, the main requirements for adsorption modules are given. The calculation procedure has been refined, which includes the determination of heat load, heat of adsorption, adsorbent mass, as well as integral, structural, and specific thermal mass. The specific thermal masses of adsorption heat-accumulating modules of open and closed types were evaluated. The main factors affecting their value are analysed. It is shown that the specific thermal mass of the adsorption heat storage module increases significantly due to the adsorption of water during the discharge of the device. It is shown that it reaches its maximum values at the end of the discharge stage, when the maximum values of adsorption in the cycle are reached. The influence of the design of the heat storage module on the value of the specific thermal mass has been confirmed. It is shown that the maximum values of these changes correspond to the composites containing 80% salt and 20% silica gel, due to the maximum values of the limiting adsorption and the heat of adsorption, which contributes to the lower values of the adsorbent mass, which is required to cover the thermal load. Specific thermal masses of adsorption modules based on "silica gel – sodium sulphate" and "silica gel - sodium acetate" composites are compared. The composition of the composite is 80% sodium sulphate and 20% silica gel, which corresponds to the minimum dimensions of the adsorption module, and therefore the maximum value of the specific thermal mass.
Solid-Phase Polycondensation of Polyethylene Terephthalate with Technologies of Its Reactive Extrusion
(MM Publishing s.r.o., Praha, Czechia, 2023) Rimar, Miroslav; Chervakov, Denys O.; Fedak, Marcel; Kulikov, Andrii; Kulikova, Olha; Sukhyy, Kostyantyn M.; Chervakov, Oleh V.; Bentsionov, Igor; Sverdlikovska, Olga S.; Belyanovskaya, Elena; Yeromin, Oleksandr O.; Prokopenko, Olena M.
ENG: It has been experimentally confirmed that polyethylene terephthalate during its processing into products destruct without carrying out the process of solid-phase polycondensation. The conditions for both primary and secondary polyethylene terephthalate have been determined for carrying out the process of solid-phase polycondensation for its effective reaction extrusion with chain extenders. To confirm the effectiveness of the parameters of the solid-phase polycondensation process of polyethylene terephthalate, its reaction extrusion was carried out with commercially available chain extenders of the diepoxide class. The optimal content of chain extenders of the diepoxide class for changing the complex of physical, mechanical and rheological properties of polyethylene terephthalate modified by them was determined. It allows obtaining materials with an increased by 2.2 times characteristic viscosity.
