Study of carbon-free radiation life support system in spring and autumn periods
DOI: 10.25206/2588-0373-2022-6-1-9-13
Solar energy refers to renewable carbon-free energy. Experimental studies conducted in the springautumn periods of
2018–2021. In the conditions of the sharply continental climate of Western Siberia allowed us to draw a number of
conclusions about the applicability of the radiation life support system for cottages, rural houses and other detached
buildings. During the research, a large number of experimental temperature measurements are carried out with their
recording in the memory of the logger 88598. The temperatures are recorded on the measuring cell of the experimental
 stand. The obtained experimental data are processed. In spring and autumn, it is more rational to replace radiation
conditioning with ventilation, since at night the temperature difference between the radiation panel and the surrounding
 air is small.

Keywords: life support system, radiation collector, solar radiation, heat flux, carbon-free energy, renewable energy
sources, insolation.

The prospect of using ozone-safe refrigerants with low global warming potential in scroll
compressors. Research and practice of using R744 and R290. Part 2

DOI: 10.25206/2588-0373-2022-6-1-14-21
Scroll compressors currently operate successfully on various natural refrigerants, among which the most popular are
propane R290 and carbon dioxide R744. This is due to the performance characteristics of the refrigerants studied in
the previous article. However, the key to improving scroll technology further adapting or creating new models of
compressors is a detailed study of the thermophysical and thermodynamic properties of propane and CO2. The article
analyzes the possible areas of application of R290 and R744 from the point of view of the influence of their properties
on work processes and the question of the need for structural changes to the compressor. The question of the
relationship between the properties of hydrofluorocarbons and natural refrigerants is considered, as well as the possibility
of using the theory of thermodynamic similarity to solve it. Data on commercially available scroll compressors operating
on natural refrigerants have been taken into account in terms of their advantages and disadvantages. Thus, conclusions
are drawn about the prospects for the use of R290, R744 and current research directions for expanding the scope of
scroll compressors from the point of view of the general problem of using ozone-friendly refrigerants with a low global
warming potential.

Keywords: scroll compressor, propane R290, carbon dioxide R744, hydrofluorocarbons, energy efficiency, properties of
real gas, thermodynamic similarity

Theoretical analysis of expansion process of wet water vapor in working chamber of piston
long-stroke linear drive of compressor unit

DOI: 10.25206/2588-0373-2022-6-1-35-43
In this paper, the process of expansion of wet water vapor in a piston long-stroke low-speed drive of a low-flow compressor
unit is considered. The study is carried out on the basis of the developed mathematical model, which includes both the
basic thermodynamic equations and the equations describing the process of heat exchange of the working substance with
the walls of the working chamber during the expansion process. The results of the calculations carried out reflect the
dependences of pressure, temperature and degree of dryness on changes in the volume of the working cavity at various
values of the initial degree of dryness in the process of expansion and the duration of the process. An analysis of the results
obtained shows that an increase in the cycle time and a decrease in the initial degree of dryness lead to an intensification
of the process of condensation of wet steam in the process of expansion and the possibility of obtaining complete
condensation of the working fluid.

Keywords: expansion process, condensation, piston unit, wet steam.

The analysis of influence of uncertainty factors on mathematical modeling of process of
reverse expansion of ammonia in low-speed reciprocating compressor stage. Part 1

DOI: 10.25206/2588-0373-2022-6-1-44-54
The paper presents an analysis of the influence on the mathematical modeling of the process of reverse expansion of
ammonia in the area of wet steam, implemented in the working chamber of the reciprocating compressor stage, of such
uncertainty factors as the method for calculating the heat transfer coefficient, the surface temperature of the wall of the
working chamber and the degree of dryness at the beginning of the process of reverse expansion. The mathematical
model is based on the equations of the first law of thermodynamics for a body of variable mass, the equation of state
of a real gas, the Clausius– Clausius and Newton–Richmann equations. The results of the calculation showed that the
instantaneous values of the pressure and temperature of ammonia, as well as its degree of dryness during reverse
expansion in the wet steam region, significantly depend on the chosen method for calculating the heat transfer coefficient.
The process under consideration is also significantly influenced by the temperature of the walls of the compressor working
chamber, in which the compression process is implemented, and the degree of dryness of ammonia at the beginning of
the expansion process.

Keywords: ammonia, wet steam, superheated steam, reverse expansion process, mathematical model, heat transfer
coefficient, nucleate boiling.

Numerical study of pipeline wall thickness influence on natural dynamic parameters of
hydromechanical system

DOI: 10.25206/2588-0373-2022-6-1-55-63
This article is devoted to solving the problem of noise and vibration in complex pipelines of hydromechanical systems.
In the study, the first ten frequencies of natural oscillations are calculated for sections of the pipeline system filled with
water with outer diameters of 60, 70, 102 mm and various thicknesses of the pipeline wall. It is determined that for all
the investigated diameters, a decrease in the natural vibration frequencies for all modes of natural vibrations with an
increase in the thickness of the pipeline wall is characteristic. Thus, the assumption is confirmed that an increase in the
rigidity of the pipeline reduces the likelihood of oscillations in the pipeline. It is concluded that in straight sections the
pipeline system with diameters up to 102 mm behaves only as a mechanical system.

Keywords: pipelines, hydromechanical systems, natural oscillation frequencies, vibration, noise, dynamic
characteristics of pipelines, pressure fluctuations of the working medium.

DOI: 10.25206/2588-0373-2022-6-1-75-84
The presence of unwanted chemicals in process lines and downstream equipment causes defects and failures, which
sometimes have significant impacts on systems and imposes extra costs for the production process. In this study, one
pair of four-stage make-up hydrogen compressors is investigated. These reciprocating compressors which serve as a
part of the hydrogen treating unit have failed approximately simultaneously. The feed of these compressors is net
hydrogen-rich gas. Both dry compressors have shown similar problems in the first and second stages. The simultaneous
rise in the cylinder temperature and decrease in the flow has forced shut-down of the compressors for the next actions
in the process. Initial inspections have revealed some kind of deposits covered the cylinder and its components. The
valves, liquid tested and results have shown significant leakage of all the suction and discharge valves of the cylinders.
Moreover, the thickness of all piston rings have decreased up to 50 percent which is more than allowable values. The
compositions of deposits, tested by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), result from the analysis
shown that it contains 35,2 percent (mass fractions) of Chlorine and 27,5 percent of Iron, and noticeable amount of
Sulfur or Phosphor. XRD analysis has reported that the Iron Chloride Hydrate is the main part of the fouling sample.
In this paper, the impact of the aforementioned chemicals on the compressor components are investigated, and some
approaches are proposed to absorb or inhibit these chemicals.

Keywords: hydrogen compressors, cylinders deposits, forced shut-down, X-ray tests, absorption and inhibition.

Thermal loading of spent rocket stage structure during ballistic descent
DOI: 10.25206/2588-0373-2022-6-1-101-108
The results of a numerical calculation of the aerodynamic heating of a spent rocket stage structural elements during
its controlled descent along a ballistic trajectory are presented. The influence of the initial trajectory parameters on the
specific convective and radiant heat fluxes is determined. To assess the thermal loading of the spent rocket stage
structure, the parameter of the total specific energy flux is introduced. It has been established that in the range of initial
speeds of the spent rocket stage from 1800 m/s to 2600 m/s, an increase in the initial speed by 200 m/s leads to an
increase in the specific convective flow by an average of 11 % for the tail compartment and the fuel tank and by 5 % for
the oxidizer tank. The share of the specific radiant energy flux withdrawn from the surface in relation to the specific
convective energy flux is from 0,15 to 0,19 for the tail compartment, from 0,12 to 0,15 for the fuel tank and not more
than 0,009 for the oxidizer tank. Empirical dependencies are proposed for the preliminary stage of assessing the
temperature state of the spent rocket stage structure when moving on a ballistic trajectory. The error of the calculation
results according to the proposed dependencies does not exceed 12 %.

Keywords: heat flows, rocket stage, aerodynamic heating, ballistic trajectory.

DOI: 10.25206/2588-0373-2022-6-1-118-127
The authors continue their work in the field of calorimetric studies of the parameters of an accelerated ionized gas jet
of prototypes of microwave ion micro-thrusters with an energy consumption of up to 10 watts. This paper presents an
improved calorimetric method. The introduction into the design of a heat receiver in the form of a thin screen makes it
possible to allocate the thermal component formed by the passage of an electric current through the plasma in the
accelerating gap. Calorimetric studies of the prototype with a two-electrode accelerating system are carried out at the
same accelerating voltages and power of the microwave generator and different mass gas flow rates. It is shown that
at a nitrogen consumption of 5,668•10–9 kg/s, the velocity of the mixed jet (neutral gas with ionized component) of the
gas was 63,75 m/s, the jet thrust is 0,36 μN. With a nitrogen consumption of 1,611•10–8 kg/s, the speed of the mixed
gas jet was 47,9 m/s, the jet thrust was 0,77 μN.

Intensification of convective heat exchange of walls of heat pipe of 3D-printed
micro-sized turbojet engine

DOI: 10.25206/2588-0373-2022-6-1-128-138
The article considers the solution of the urgent problem of creating a micro-sized turbojet engine using 3D printing.
The article describes one of the ways to cool the walls of the heat pipe of a small combustion chamber made of  heat-
resistant material 08KhN53BMTYu. One of the acceptable ways to cool the walls of a small-sized chamber  heat pipe
is convective heat exchange of the outer side of the heat pipe due to intense vortex formation in the boundary layer of
the flow. This effect is achieved by the device of projections on the outer wall of the heat pipe.The article highlights the
peculiarity of the shape of the protrusions, which must be carried out taking into account the technological limitations of
3D printing. The article presents a description of an experimental stand for the study of the thermal state of the heat pipe
of micro turbojet engines, the method of processing experimental data and the  results of experiments on the heat
transfer of the heat pipe shell with and without them.

Keywords: micro-sized turbojet engine, combustion chamber, heat pipe, complex-integrated design, intensification
of convective heat exchange, additive technologies.
