A method for determining the thermal state of the instrument pressurized compartments of the aircraft, based on the use of a mathematical model of the thermal state of the compartments, has been developed. The mathematical model of the air-conditioning compartment is represented by a system of equations of honeycomb thermally insulated skin, ordinary differential equations of convective heat transfer of the inner surface of the thermal insulation of the skin and compartment structures, on-board equipment, air and enthalpy transfer from the air conditioning system. The radiant exchange coefficient in the model is determined by the Monte Carlo method. With parametric identification of the parameters of compartments and the air conditioning system, methods developed for solving the direct and inverse problem of heat transfer and determining confidence intervals for parametric identification estimates. Confidence intervals for estimating the coefficients of the nonlinear mathematical model of the thermal state of the compartment are determined by the method of projecting the joint confidence region of estimates onto the coordinate axes of the coefficient space. The research is carried out in accordance with the Airworthiness Standards. The required characteristics of the air conditioning system and the thickness of the honeycomb thermal insulation of the compartment were obtained.

In [16] the existence of generalized solutions to boundary value problems (25), (27), (25) and (29) is proved. Moreover, these solutions can be approximated by solutions of the corresponding boundary value problems with coefficients that are approximations of the initial discontinuity coefficients. For example, you can get an approximate solution to the original problem by solving a problem with smoothed coefficients. In this paper, it is proposed to statistically estimate the solution of the problem with smoothed coefficients using a method based on the numerical solution of stochastic differential equations and, thus, to obtain estimates of the approximate solution of the initial boundary value problem with discontinuous coefficients.
To smooth out the coefficients, it is proposed to use integrative averaging [16; 17] f (p) ( x ) = p -3 j ю р (| x - y I) f ( y ) dy (30)

Estimation of the solution of the boundary value problem for a parabolic equation with discontinuous coefficients based on the numerical solution of stochastic differential equations
The solution of a parabolic equation can be represented as a mathematical expectation of the functional for solving stochastic differential equations [17]. This fact can be used to obtain statistical estimates of the solutions of parabolic equations using the numerical solution of stochastic differential equations. An approximate solution to the problem in this way can be obtained at one or more points within the region, which is often sufficient for practical application. At the same time, there is no need to build a grid from spatial variables and solve large systems of linear algebraic adjustments. The method of statistical modeling is easily parallelized with high efficiency. Therefore, supercomputer technology can be used to solve the problem. We use this method [18] to estimate the solution of a parabolic equation with smoothed coefficients obtained on the basis of integral averaging (30).

The obtained equations (21)–(23), which describe the heat exchange of the internal elements of the compartments, constitute a rigid system of ordinary differential equations. This system of equations can be written in general as follows:
Y t = F ( Y ( t , 0 )), t e (0, 1 1 ); Y t = Y 0 , F , Y e R S ; 0 e Rr ,
where Y = [ T cv , T bi , T m , Tr ,... ] T - a vector of parameters of a thermal condition of a compartment; Y t — a vector of first derivatives Y on t ; © = [ Up и 2 ,... , и 5 ] T - a vector of factors of model; T – the top index designating operation of transposing.

The inverse problem solution, that is, the estimation of the 0 model (1) - (4), (17) - (20), reduces to minimization of the discrepancy squares weighted sum between the values Y obtained during the calculations by the model equations Y (t, Θ) , obtained during the calculations by the model equations:

where tk – are time points at k = 1,...,N.
We will determine the minimum of the function Φ ( Θ ) with the help of the iterative minimization algorithm that uses the derivatives of function Φ ( Θ ) . For this purpose, it is proposed to use the variant of a stochastic quasigradient algorithm with a variable metric [23], in which the approximations to the minimum point are constructed by the rule
Θ k + 1 = Θ k - ρ k Η k ∇ k Φ , k = 0,1,K, (45)
where Hk - is a random square size matrix of order l x l; VkФ - the gradient of the objective function at the point Θk; ρk – the step parameter.
The sequence of matrices Η k is calculated according to the scheme: Η 0 = I , Η k + 1 + ( I - μ k ∇ k + 1 Φ ⋅ ( Δ k + 1 Θ ) T ) Η k , Δ k + 1 Θ = Θ k + 1 - Θ k .
the constant,
The parameter μk is chosen from the equation μk = μ/( ∇k+1Φ ⋅ Δk+1Θ , where μk such that 0 < μk <1.
At each step of the algorithm, the step parameter ρ k . is automatically adjusted. If
Ф(0k+1) > Ф(0k), то pk+1 = pk /y, где Y > 1 is a fixed parameter. If Ф(0k+1) < Ф(0k), then the following sequence of actions is performed: pk i = pk Y, 0k+1,i =0k - pk i Hk Vk Ф, and calculation Φ(Θk+1,i), i = 0,1,K.
These actions are performed as long as the value of the function Φ(Θ) decreases and the following conditions are fulfilled: ρmin ≤ ρk,i ≤ ρmax (ρmin,ρmax – minimum, maximum step length, respectively) and i < imax (imax – is the specified maximum number of iterations for increasing the step). The values Θk+1, ρk+1 are set equal to the values Θk+1,i, ρk,i , respectively, which are equal to the minimum value of obtained in such a way values of Φ(Θ) .

Algorithm of parametric identification of the mathematical model of the thermal state of the internal elements of the compartments
Parametric identification of the thermal state model of other elements (21) – (23). is proposed to perform using the composition of the steepest descent method.
As it has been noted in [23], for minimisation of function (44) it is expedient to use method of fastest descent [24], Brojdena – Fletchera – Goldfarba – Shenno’s quasi-Newton method [25] in a combination to Newton's method [26], which is realised according to the formula:
Θ j + 1 = Θ j + a j ⋅ S ( Θ j ), (47)
where aj – the factor characterising length of a step on j iterations; S – the parameter specifying a direction of search of a vector Θ 0 of the valid values of factors Θ .
Next direction S of search of j vector Θ in this algorithm is defined from system of the equations: ∇ 2 Φ ( Θ j ) ⋅ S ( Θ j ) =- ∇Φ ( Θ j ), (48)
where ∇ 2 Φ ( Θ j ) - ( r × r ) – the Gess matrix representing a square matrix of the second private derivatives of function Φ on a vector Θ ; ∇Φ ( Θ j ) – градиент функции Φ в текущей точке Θ j .
Initial matrix ∇ 2 Φ ( Θ k ) in the equation (48) has been accepted by the individual.
For the decision of system of the equations (48) matrix ∇ 2 Φ ( Θ j ) is represented in the factorized to the form:
∇ 2 Φ ( Θ j ) = L ( Θ j ) D ( Θ j ) L T ( Θ j ), (49)
where L ( Θ j ) – low triangle matrix with an individual diagonal; D ( Θ j ) – a diagonal matrix.
Matrixes L ( Θ j ), D ( Θ j ) receive decomposition Holessky matrixes ∇ 2 Φ ( Θ j ) on the algorithm described in [25].
To minimize the function (44) by the quasi-Newtonian method of Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shenno, the next direction of search Θ j is determined from the system of equations (48).
The estimation of the Hesse matrix of the second partial derivatives in this algorithm is carried out according to the Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shenno formula [25].
In the process of minimization using a quasi-Newtonian al-gorhythm, gradient calculations of the function are required at each iteration ∇ 2 Φ ( Θ j ) .
The components of the gradient of function (48) are computed by the formula
N
∂ Φ / ∂ ϑ 1 = 2 ∑ ( Y k - Y k ( t k , Θ )) T ∂ Y k ( t k , Θ )/ ∂ ϑ 1 , (50)
k = 1
where H 1, k = ∂ Y ˆ k ( tk , Θ ) / ∂ ϑ 1 are derivatives of the solution of equations (21) – (23) by ϑ 1 , which are called sensitivity functions [25].
Application of the algorithm (47) – (50) to the system (21) – (23) and sensitivity functions
Y t , Θ = f Y Y Θ + f Θ ,
Y Θ ( Θ ) = 0, (51)
requires the calculation of a system of size equations at each step S × ( r + 1) .
In system (51) f Y is the matrix of the first partial derivatives f in Y size S × S . f Θ is a matrix of the first partial derivatives f by Θ size S × r . The matrix of the system (51) contains blocks on the main diagonal I - ah f Y , and in the first columns S there are elements that include derivatives f Y , Y and f Y , Θ ; f Y , Y is a matrix of the first partial derivatives of Y the elements of f Y the size matrix S × S × S ; f Y , Θ is the matrix of the first partial derivatives of Θ the elements of the matrix f Y dimensions S × S × r .
The described algorithm was studied by numerical modeling for a number of specified (reference) values of the vector of the flight mode parameters U = [ρ V , V air,out, T e] T (where ρ V is the density of the air environment overboard; V air,out is the airspeed of flight; T e is the recovery temperature) and the desired coefficients Θ 0 , which were correlated with the calculated values of the measurement vector by (21) – (23) and noisy values Y . The stability, speed and accuracy of the algorithm's convergence were studied depending on the form and accuracy of setting the initial conditions and other factors. At the same time, the quality criteria were the values of the residual function Φ ( Θ ) of the last iteration and the values ( Θ ˆ j - Θ 0) / Θ 0 , that determine the uncertainties of the coefficient estimates Θ ˆ relative to their actual values Θ 0 .
Based on the results of the simulation, we concluded that the proposed algorithm is satisfactory. The final results are insignificantly dependent on the uncertainties of setting the initial values of Θ int .
The adequacy of the constructed model to real processes was checked using the method of residue analysis [26] for the case of additive random uncorrelated uncertainties distributed according to the normal law, and for the case of arbitrary statistical properties of the uncertainty vector.
The results of the model adequacy check are given in Fig. 1.
In determining the uncertainties of the obtained estimates, we introduced [26] some conditional joint confidence intervals ΔΘ of each of the desired coefficients in the form of projections of the joint trust domain on the corresponding coordinate axes of space Θ , which is equivalent to replacing the elliptic region with a parallelepiped described around it.

Estimation of the coefficients of the mathematical model of the thermal state of the nose instrument purged compartment
A supersonic aircraft was accepted as the object of research (Fig. 2).
The parameters of the flight mode and the air environment overboard of the aircraft application model are shown in Fig. 3.
The takeoff path runs from the starting point to the initial climb of 10 m above the takeoff surface.
Then, at an altitude of 450 m, the transition from takeoff to the route flight configuration takes place.

For the cold climate the initial air temperature should correspond to 283.15 К. For the extremely warm and dry climate, the initial air temperature should be 315.15 К. The temperature of air at the exit from the air conditioning system in flight should not be less than 276.15 K and more than 335.15 К.

The model coefficients vector (1) – (4), (17) – (20), (21) – (23) when optimizing the thermophysical parameters of air conditioning, as well as the heat insulation thickness of the compartments has the following form:
Estimations of factors of model for cold and extreme warm dry climate types are accordingly equal to

Conclusions
A method is proposed for characterization of honeycomb structures and the air conditioning system of the aircraft onboard equipment on the basis of the developed mathematical model aircraft pressurized compartment thermal state.
Determination of the honeycomb structure thermal state is carried out by a combined method in which the calculation of the diffusion process trajectories in cells filled with air is carried out by the random walk by moving spheres method, and along the framing, bounding plates and in their close neighborhood by the Euler method.
In the parametric identification of the onboard equipment housing honeycomb structure thermal state mathematical model, a stochastic quasigradient algorithm with a variable metric is used.
The proposed method makes it possible to optimize the thermophysical parameters of the onboard equipment housing and the thermocontrol system during the onboard equipment design.
The adequacy of the model was checked by analyzing the balances.
The studies were carried out in accordance with the Airworthiness Standards of the Aviation Rules AP 25.
