The problem of stabilitrons selecting for use in reference high-voltage installations of a direct current, calculation of a high voltage pulsations are observed at various modes of operation of such installations and definitions of methods of their amplitude decreasing. Problems of support of the stable power supplies of reference installation depending on characteristics of an alternating voltage source selection and the circuit design of this voltage transformation are analyzed. Researches of modes of the power supplies of reference installation over the operating voltage range from 1 to 180 kV are performed. It was found that the amplitude and character of voltage pulsations can have an effect on accuracy of scale high voltage transformation, and factor of pulsations ∆p essentially depends on operating conditions of reference installation. The obtained results have shown that increasing of resistance value of the filter is almost proportional to the decreasing of pulsations amplitude. Provisions for pulsations amplitude decreasing and raise of demands to stability of separate elements of reference installations are offered.

Keywords: the standard of a high voltage of a direct current, the stabilitron, voltage ripple, stability of the power supplies.

New Metod of Measuring of Symmetric Sequences of Three-Phase Voltage Makov D.K. Naukovi visti NTUU P – 4 – N 1 – P 14–19

This article concerns the digital determination of three-phase quality indexes of electric power – coefficient of asymmetry on a negative sequence, rejection and oscillation of fundamental frequency voltage. These indexes are characterized by voltages of negative (VNS) and direct (VDS) sequences of fundamental frequency. For determination of VNS (after analog-digital transformation with tuning of frequency of measuring of instantaneous values of linear voltages) it is possible to take advantage of two linear operations – selection of linear voltages of fundamental frequency and selection of measureable sequence. Traditional approach of VNS measuring uses just the same sequence of implementation of operations. Thus, accuracy requirements of selection of linear voltages of fundamental frequency are very high. And in obtained codes of linear voltages codes of VDS of fundamental frequency are dominant and inconclusive. Fundamental frequency is obtained further using complicated algorithm with the multi-bits calculations. Crushing down dominant and inconclusive VNS using addition of codes of instantaneous values of linear voltages after analog-digital transformation is proposed for determination of VNS of fundamental frequency. An algorithm is thus simplified in 20–50 times, accuracy requirements of subsequent selection of voltage of fundamental frequency decrease, VDS of most ultraharmonics disappears almost completely. VNS of fundamental frequency increases in 3 times as compared to its in linear voltages. VNS of fundamental frequency is further distinguished. The offered method of determination of voltage of symmetric constituents is characterized by simplicity and increased accuracy.

Keywords: indexes of quality of electric power, coefficient of asymmetry, symmetric systems of voltage of positive, zero, negative sequences.

Features of Shale Gas in rotary kilns Building Materials Industry Shcherbyna V.Yu. Naukovi visti NTUU “КPІ”. – 4 – N 1 – P 29–34

The possibility of shale gas usage in existing kilns of building materials industry is analyzed. The questions considering determination of thermal performance conditions of kilns for burning cement using nature and shale are studied. For a more complete modeling a mathematical model, compared with the known, taking into account such additional factors as the temperature of the exhaust gases and the conditions refractory lining wear during operation was applied. Conclusions are drawn about the possibility of structural elements furnace using shale gas: 1) significantly increases the amount of fuel requiring the installation of two or even three burners in the furnace unit; 2) low gas flow in the furnace is increased to ~ 300 °C requiring the selection of an appropriate type of refractory; 3) the temperature of the furnace body is increased to 35 °C–45 °C; 4) using the shale gas reduces the amount of secondary air, so it does not display significant impact on reducing fuel consumption. Hence there is the need for re-adjustment of the refrigerator, fans and ductwork used in the flowsheet. Thus, the direct application of shale requires replacement devices or nodes in the design of machines. Another option is to create a combined gas with a defined chemical composition by mixing oil shale and natural gas.

Adaptive Short-Term Forecasting of Selected Financial Processes Bidyuk P.I., Konovalyuk M.M., Kuznetsova N.V., Pudlo I.V. Naukovi visti NTUU “КPІ”. – 4 – N 1 – P 35–41

A computer based system is proposed for adaptive modeling and forecasting of financial and economic processes, that is constructed with application of system analysis principles. A hierarchical structure of decision making process during forecasts estimation was taken into consideration and the methods were used for describing uncertainties of structural, parametric and statistical nature. To estimate model structure and parameters several mutually supporting estimation techniques were used as well as optimal state estimation procedure for dynamic systems that allowed take into consideration some types of structural and statistical uncertainties. Probabilistic modeling methods make it possible to consider uncertainties of probabilistic type. The problem of short term forecasting for gold price is considered as an example using a set of constructed regression models and Kalman filter for generating optimal estimates of states. The best forecasting results were achieved with optimal filter and autoregression models with trends. Also the models were constructed for conditional variance that provided acceptable quality forecasts for variance (volatility) that could be used for constructing decision making rules in trading operations.

Keywords: adaptive forecasting, system approach, nonlinear nonstationary processes, model structure and parameters estimation, complex criterion.

The as-cast and heat treated structure of permanent mould and high pressure die castings of the AlMg5Si2Mn alloy has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, microhardness measurements, transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. Curved plate-like precipitates were detected for both alloys inside the a-Al grains. Examination of these precipitates revealed a number of features, such as: 1) the composition of the precipitates is very close to the stoichiometric Mg2Si compound; 2) precipitates are aligned along dislocations; 3) the precipitate density is much higher for the high pressure die castings where the a-Al matrix contains more dislocations than in permanent mould castings; 4) precipitates lie inside the a-Al grains where they are randomly distributed. The Mg2Si lamellas were not observed between precipitates;              5) homogenization of the alloy results in complete dissolution of the precipitates and during artificial aging new needle-shaped precipitates are formed.

Keywords: aluminum casting alloy, precipitates, element distribution, natural hardening.

Results of investigations of external gear pump with involute tooth profile which goal was to obtain the flow patterns in the suction and discharge chambers, and in meshing region and examining the effect on them of operating parameters of the pump were presented. Flow patterns were obtained by visualisation of fluid flow with a high-speed video recording of working process of the pump with a lid made of a transparent material. As result of video analysis appearance of cavities in the fluid closed in trapped volume was found. Process of the emergence of a cavitation bubble, its growth and collapse was reviewed. The calculation dependencies that link up dimensions of cavitation bubbles and the pressure in the surrounding liquid were shown. The change of the trapped volume dimensions for given pump and type of pressure changes inside were determined. Using                p-theorem dependencies in dimensionless form were obtained, criterion analysis of the results was performed showing the dependence of the pressure in the trapped volume from a number of complexes, such as centrifugal Reynolds number. It was revealed that in the trapped volume compression of fluid and cavitation occur; intensity depends on the operating conditions of the pump.

Polarization Characteristics of Electroluminiscence, that Accompanies Electric Breakdown of pn-Structures on Silicon Carbide Genkin A.M., Genkina V.K.,  Germash L.P.  Naukovi visti NTUU “КPІ”. – 4 – N 1 – P 71–78

Spectral dependence of the linear polarization extent of electroluminicsence, which accompanies the electric                breakdown of alloyed pn-structures, made on the base of SiC–4Н, 6Н, 15R polytypes, and аlso cubic silicon                   carbide in the range of 1,4–3,8 еВ have been obtained for the first time. The structures have been placed on the crystal faces, which are parallel and perpendicular to the crystallographic axis С. The luminescence was lead out from the side of thin р-region perpendicularly, and also at the sharp angle to the operating crystal face. The components of luminescence which are polarized linearly in the parallel and perpendicular to the crystallographic axis С (Е||С, Е^С) plane, and also parallel to the vector F of electric field tensity in the pn-junction (Е||F) have been revealed. Spectral location and intensity of the component, connected with direction of the axis С, have essential differences in different polytypes. Common feature for all polytypes is the presence of polarization (with the level of 0,3–0,4) in the plane Е||С in the region of fundamental absorption and in the adjoining region. Accordance of polarization characteristic of luminicsence to the date on optical absorption takes place only in the separate cases. Polarization Е||F reaches the level 0,5 and tends to increase in the side of increasing of photon energy.

The Theory of For­ming the Illumination Field on the Inner Surface of an Integrating Sphere of Photometer for Luminous Flux Measurement of the LEDs Mikheenko L.A., Kovalenko A.V. Naukovi visti NTUU “КPІ”. – 4 – N 1 – P 79–84

Simplified mathematical models of the formation of the illumination field on the inner surface of the spherical                photometer for three common schemes of constructive placement of the LED were proposed. The models are based on a combination of the method of successive reflections with the integration of illumination of rings around elementary segment symmetrically illuminated by LED. Each model takes into account the main design parameters of the photometer, which affect the level of light reflectance of the inner coating, and spatial orientation of the indicatrix of LED sources. Comparative analysis of calculations of the schemes with typical parameters shows highly informative results. It is shown that the value of the reflection coefficient of more than 0,98 and the sphere diameter less than 0,6 m significantly increases impact of the volatility of these parameters on the overall error of the photometer. If the total indicatrix of LED is narrowing, the total illumination decreases when placing it on the wall of the sphere, and increases ­– when placed in the center. The results of calculations can be used to select the optimal photometer scheme for the given parameters of LED, and select the optimal parameters values of its design.

Keywords: metrology, optical radiometry, photometry, flux measurements of LEDs.

The Method for Eva­luating Ametropia and the Depth of Focus of the Eye / Chyzh I.G., Golembovskiyi O.O. // Naukovi visti NTUU “КPІ”. – 2014. – N 1. – P. 93–98.

The need is established for measuring pseudo-accommodation (the depth of focus of the eye) when a standard                  artificial or accommodative lens is implanted into the eye. It is specified the need for analyzing the impact of               aberrations of a measuring device’s elements as well as the pupil’s diameter onto the accuracy of ametropia and                         pseudo-accommodation measurements by the method, proposed by the authors. In this study, a computer simulation is applied for an optical system of the measuring device and an ametropic eye with a diffuse-scattering retina. The optical system was simulated using paraxial and real aberrational components. The results of simulation have confirmed an insignificant effect of aberrations of the device’s actual components on ametropia measurement errors. The length of the focal region was estimated by using RMS spot diagrams of light microspots at the retina, formed by the optical system of the eye in the reverse ray path. The influence of reverse ray path on measurement errors of the eye’s ametropia and pseudo-accommodation has been found as negligible. It is also shown the dependence of a pseudo-accommodation volume on the pupil diameter for the eye having no accommodation function.

Keywords: Depth of the focus, pseudo-accommodation volume.

By means of precipitation method FeOOH  (amorphous ferric oxyhydrate), a-FeOOH  (goethite) and g-FeOOH  (lepidocrocite) have been synthesized. Physical-and-chemical parameters of the synthesized compounds have been characterized using X-ray diffraction, porosity studies, pH titration. With the aid of XRD it was found that a-FeOOH  and g-FeOOH  have crystalline structure, while FeOOH  is amorphous. The sorption affinity of ferric oxyhydrates of various crystalline structure towards phosphate ions has been studied. The synthesized oxyhydrates have a mezoporous structure with the pore size of 2 nm for FeOOH  (amorphous), g-FeOOH  and 16 nm for a-FeOOH . рН titration has shown that FeOOH  (amorphous) is an ampholite with the maximal exchange capacity of 3 mmol/g in acidic media and 3,5 mmol/g in alkaline media. The comparison of the sorption affinity of the ferric oxyhydrates with various crystalline structures towards phosphate ions shows that FeOOH  (amorphous) has the best parameters, and its sorption capacity reaches 237,5 mg/g in acidic media and 104,5 mg/g in alkaline media.
