6-aperiodic words over the three-letter alphabet

6-aperiodic words over the three-letter alphabet

V. I. Senashov

Статья научная

The work is devoted to the study of sets of aperiodic words over a finite alphabet. A set of such words can be considered as some kind of finite formal language. W. Burnside raised the issue of local finiteness of periodic groups. The negative answer was given only sixty years later by E. S. Golod. Soon S. V. Aleshin, R. I. Hryhorczuk, V. I. Sushchanskii constructed more examples confirming the negative answer to Burnside's question. Finiteness of the free Burnside group of period n was established for periods two and three (W. Burnside), for period four (W. Burnside, I. N. Sanov), for period six (M. Hall). The infinity of such a group, for odd indicators exceeding 4381, is established in the work of P. S. Novikov and S. I. Adyan (1967), and for odd indicators exceeding 664 in the book by S. I. Adian (1975). A more intuitive version of the proof for odd n > 1010 was proposed by A. Yu. Olshansky (1989). In this article, we consider the set of 6-aperiodic words. In the monograph by S. I. Adyan (1975) it was shown the proof of S. E. Arshon (1937) theory that there are infinitely many three-aperiodic words of any length in the two-letter alphabet. In the book of A. Y. Olshansky (1989), a proof of the infinity of the set of six-aperiodic words is given and an estimate of the number of such words of any given length is obtained. Here we try to estimate the function of the number of six-aperiodic words of any given length in a three-letter alphabet. The results obtained can be useful for encoding information in space communication sessions.

A routing algorithm for the Cayley graphs generated by permutation groups

А. A. Kuznetsov, V. V. Kishkan

Статья научная

The purpose of this work is to create an effective routing algorithm on the Cayley graphs of permutation groups, superior in its characteristics to an algorithm using an automatic group structure. In the first section of the article we describe the auxiliary algorithm A–1 which allows numbering elements of a given permutation group. In the second section we present the algorithm A–2 for calculating the routing table on the Cayley graph and algorithm A–3 for determination the optimal route between two arbitrary vertices of the graph. Estimates of time and space complexity are also obtained for these algorithms. In the third section we describe the algorithm A–4 for calculation the minimal word of a group element. It is proved that the computational complexity of the algorithm will be proportional to the length of the input word. The fourth section presents the results of computer experiments for some groups of permutation groups, which compare the time for calculating the minimum words using algorithm A – 4 and an algorithm based on the construction of an automatic group structure. It is shown that A – 4 is much faster than its competitor.

A technique for determining the acoustic characteristics of combustion chambers of a solid propellant rocket engine

A technique for determining the acoustic characteristics of combustion chambers of a solid propellant rocket engine

Astakhov S. A., Biryukov V. I., Sizov G. A.

Статья научная

Many developers of new high-thrust solid-propellant rocket engines are faced with the problem of acoustic instability of combustion. The phenomenon of resonant combustion of solid fuel is associated with a number of specific features. The cavities of the combustion chambers of such engines have complex geo-metric shapes. The gas channel is long enough. Its length usually exceeds five or more calibers. The thick-ness of the flame front is measured in micrometers and the combustion zone is localized over the open fuel surface. The flame front often turns out to be capable of amplifying pressure perturbations at the frequency of one of the acoustic eigenmodes if the wave antinode falls on a thin combustion zone. The oscillatory process can be regular or sporadic. Resonances of the longitudinal acoustic mode are most often observed. However, there were cases of simultaneous oscillation of two modes. In some cases, during the operation of the engine, the amplitude of the resulting oscillations began to decrease and the combustion process be-came almost quasi-stationary. Self-oscillatory processes in the combustion chambers of solid propellants have a threshold sensitivity to pressure overshoots. The vibration amplitudes can be several tens of percent, sometimes reaching the nominal working pressure in the chamber. The amplitude-frequency characteristics of the oscillations are sensitive to the composition of the fuel, responding to changes in the chemical com-position, as well as to the mechanical properties of the fuel. The regions of unstable regimes are definitely related to the geometry of the gas cavity. Together with pressure fluctuations, the combustion process is influenced by gas-dynamic factors, significant non-uniformity of the gas flow parameters along the length of the channel, its turbulence, and other factors. When designing solid-propellant rocket engines, it is nec-essary to estimate the frequencies of the natural acoustic resonances of the combustion chambers. The article discusses a technique for determining the frequencies of natural resonances of the first and second tone of the longitudinal mode of acoustic vibrations in the combustion chambers of solid propellant rocket engines. The gas path of the combustion chamber is divided into homogeneous sections, for which the solutions of the wave equation are presented. To determine the natural frequencies and distribution of vibrational pressures and velocities, the method of “stitching” acoustic fields at the boundaries of the cavi-ties was used.

About non-parametric identification of partial-parametred discrete-continuous process

About non-parametric identification of partial-parametred discrete-continuous process

Yareshchenko D. I.

Статья научная

The paper considers a new class of models under conditions of incomplete information. We are talking about multidimensional discrete-continuous processes for the case where the components of the vector of output variables are stochastically dependent. The nature of this dependence is a priori unknown, but for some channels the a priori information corresponds to both nonparametric and parametric type of the initial data in the process under study. Such a situation leads to a system of nonlinear equations, some of which will be unknown, while others are known accurate to the vector of parameters. The main purpose of the model is to determine the forecast of output variables with known input, and for implicit nonlinear equations it is only known that one or another component of the output depends on other variables that determine the state of the object. Thus, a rather nontrivial situation arises when solving a system of implicit nonlinear equations under conditions where in one channel of a multidimensional system equations themselves are not in the usual sense, while in others they are known up to parameters. Therefore, an object model cannot be constructed using the methods of the existing identification theory as a result of a lack of a priori information. If it was possible to parameterize the system of nonlinear equations, then with a known input this system should be solved, since it is known and the parameterization stage is over. However, in this case it is still necessary to evaluate parameters. The main content of this article is the solution of the identification problem in the presence of a partially-parameterized discrete-continuous process, despite the fact that the parameterization stage cannot be overcome without additional a priori information on the process under study. In this regard, the scheme for solving the system of nonlinear equations can be represented as a certain sequential algorithmic chain. First, on the basis of the available training sample, including all components of the input and output variables observation, a residual vector is formed. After that, an estimate of the object output with known values of the input variables is constructed based on the estimates of Nadarai-Watson. Thus, for given values of the input variables of such a process, it is proposed to carry out a procedure for evaluating the forecast of output variables in accordance with the developed algorithmic chain. Numerous computational experiments, studying the proposed models of partially-parameterized discrete-continuous processes have shown their rather high efficiency. The article presents the results of computational experiments illustrating the effectiveness of the proposed technology for predicting values of output variables from known input variables.

Additional screening tests at the testing technical center for ground power equipment

Additional screening tests at the testing technical center for ground power equipment

Aliseenko Y. V., Nesterishin M. V., Vorontsova E. O., Fedosov V. V., Pateleev V. I.

Статья научная

When testing a spacecraft in a thermal vacuum chamber, special attention is paid to ensuring guaranteed continuous power supply to the spacecraft for a long time (up to several months). The de-energization of the spacecraft can lead to the failure of thermal control systems, up to the complete failure of the spacecraft worth several billion rubles. During the operation of ground power equipment, the necessary data on the intensity and types of failures in the operation of this ground power equipment were obtained, the result of which led to an increase in the test time and the risks of failure of the spacecraft at this stage. As a result of collaborative work of JSC “Academician M. F. Reshetnev Information Satellite Systems” and Research Institute of Automation and Electromechanics of Tomsk State University of Control Systems and Radioelectronics on the analysis of failure statistics obtained during operation, a technical task was worked out to develop methods for increasing the uptime of ground power equipment manufactured. One of the key requirements for the new generation of ground power equipment being manufactured is to ensure a high reliability indicator – “uptime”. Experience in the field of additional screening tests of electro-radio parts before their installation in a spacecraft allows us to propose a method for determining the quantitative value of the decreasing coefficient of screening tests using a method for evaluating the coefficients characterizing the degree of difference between radio-electronic products that have successfully passed additional screening tests and received ones from the factory manufacturer. As a result of the calculations of the decreasing coefficient and the mathematical calculations of the uptime, it is possible to determine the effect of the decreasing coefficient of screening tests on improving the reliability of ground power equipment. High requirements for uptime of ground power equipment for electrical tests of the spacecraft have led to the need for additional screening tests in special testing technical centers, where the verification of indicators of the number of failures by confidence probabilities should be carried out. The introduction of additional screening tests in the technological process of ground equipment manufacturing is the next step in the methods of increasing reliability.

Algorithmic and software of the system profiling the actions of users of the information system

E. V. Anashkin, M. N. Zhukova

Статья научная

The paper describes the software of the system for profiling the actions of users of the information system. This profiling system is aimed at solving the problem of trust in users of information systems. The system should regulate access to protected resources by analyzing user behavior. The algorithmic component of the system is represented by a user behavior model and a general system operation algorithm. The user behavior model is based on the apparatus of Markov chains Software implementation allows in practice to obtain the foundations of the proposed approach to work. At the development stages, the choice of software architecture is carried out. The client-server architecture was chosen as a reasonable decision. The software component of the user activity profiling system consists of five separate software modules. At the end of development, a brief testing of the components is carried out. The novelty of this work lies in the proposal of an approach that uses the profiling of user actions as an additional determining factor in managing access to objects, as a way to strengthen the basic measures “Controlling access of subjects to access objects” in the order system of FSTEC of Russia.

An approach to ground testing of rockets and space vehicles on transient processes by copra-spring stand

Bondarenko A. Yu, Mitin A. Yu., Tolchenov V. A., Eykhorn A. N., Yuranev O. A.

Статья

The authors propose an approach to research tests of copra-spring stand, designed for testing rockets and spacecraft on inertial forces of a pulse character. The authors present the design of the stand, consisting of two main parts: mobile and stationary. The authors present a method for calculating the magnitude of the load factors and the oscillation frequency of the test object, and calculate the parameters for adjusting the spring stiffness. They describe the possibility of carrying out dynamic tests for imitating transient loads that hermetic structures such as modules of habitable orbital stations, loaded by internal pneumatic pressure, withstand during their lifecycle. The authors present the results of research tests when the stand without any additional weight was falling from the height of 20, 35 and 50 mm. They determine the levels of axial and transverse accelerations on the envelope of the stand and the lower ring. A comparison of the original and filtered signal from the load factor sensors obtained in each test case was made. The authors present the results of calculating accelerations of the moving part of the stand using the video processing of the experiment. To determine the position of the stand envelope they developed special software. The essence of the software was to determine the coordinate of the border of the color change from the frame height from a light color to a darker one using averaging in rows. The authors show that the results of a comparison of manual frame-by-frame measurement and data obtained by the software method indicate a sufficient convergence of the results using a drop from the height of 20 mm experiment. The comparison of axial loads obtained by various methods is given, when the moving part of the stand is thrown from the height of 20, 35 and 50 mm, respectively. The zero time points for the video and accelerometers were determined so that the first maximum is reached simultaneously. According to the results of research tests, the authors describe the development and validation of the finite element model of the stand. The calculations were carried out in a nonlinear formulation, which makes it possible to correctly take into account the loading of the stand at all stages, using the method of direct solution of the equations of motion. The authors show the results if calculating the time dependences of displacements and load factors at the sensor installation places and a comparison with the experimental results, which shows a good convergence.

Analysis of the ADS-B airspace monitoring system

Analysis of the ADS-B airspace monitoring system

Akzigitov A. R., Akzigitov R. A., Ogorodnikova U. V., Dmitriev D. V., Andronov A. S.

Статья научная

One of the most important aspects of flight safety is awareness of AC air position (AC is the short for aircraft). The leading method of stating AC airspace location is the use of radar systems – primary, secondary, combined primary – secondary surveillance radars-though radar systems have significant drawbacks. However, at present, more advanced technologies are also in use, for example, ADS-B and multilateration. This article is focused on ADS-B broadcasting. Global coverage, low cost, great amount of obtainable information makes Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast a highly efficient system. Application of the method for AC air positioning is equally effective for helicopters, especially for those operated by special emergency services. As for the infrastructure of air navigation, the research in this sphere is focused on surveillance systems necessary for reliable control of increasing air traffic. The problem of better awareness of AC air position is still acute and has always been the object of extensive research. At present, homemanufactured civil aviation helicopters are practically never equipped with ADS-B transponders, and hardly ever use the available resources of transceiver-based surveillance systems. The objective of the analysis presented is to demonstrate the applicability of Flightradar system options, as well as implementation of ADS – B transponders for helicopter fleet. Operating surveillance systems like Flightradar may considerably increase flight safety by improving the awareness of helicopters current air position.

Anomalies in IGS ephemeris and clock products and their influence on the solution of navigation problems

Anomalies in IGS ephemeris and clock products and their influence on the solution of navigation problems

Pustoshilov A. S., Tsarev S. P., Ushakov Yu. Yu., Ovchinnikova E. V.

Статья научная

The subject of research of this paper is anomalies in the final products of the International GNSS Service (IGS), namely in the orbits and clock drifts of navigation satellites (NSs). The purpose of research is to de-termine the influence of such anomalies on the accuracy of solving the precise point positioning (PPP) problem. The method of approximation by polynomials of high degrees previously proposed by the authors is used as a method for detecting and distinguishing anomalies in the orbits of navigation satellites. The methodology recommended by the IGS is used in solving the PPP problem. The proposed method for de-tecting and distinguishing anomalies in orbits is applied to the analysis of anomalies in the orbits of GPS navigation satellites. The examples of anomalies that can be detected using the proposed method are dem-onstrated. The brief statistical analysis and comparison of the frequencies of anomalies occurrence in the orbits of GPS navigation satellites published by various IGS analytical centers from 2010 to 2018 are pre-sented. It is shown that orbital anomalies occurring at the boundaries of daily intervals are, as a rule, cor-related with anomalies in clock drifts and have a partially mutually compensating effect on the solution of navigation problems. Experiments showed that when solving the PPP problem, anomalies significantly in-crease the root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) of the solution residual. Two options for solving the prob-lem with anomalous orbits are considered: the exclusion of satellites with anomalous boundaries of daily intervals from the solution and the "correction" of the anomaly in the orbit. The most natural method of correcting orbits (changing the orbit in order to remove large anomalies) at the boundaries of the daily segments of the published final orbits was tested. The exclusion of satellites with anomalies in the orbit turned out to be the most effective from the point of view of PPP problems, since attempts to "correct" the orbit more often led not to a decrease in the RMSD of the pseudorange residuals, but to its increase, which is associated with correlated anomalies in the navigation satellite clock drift. According to the research results, we can conclude: before solving the PPP problems, it is necessary to study the orbits and the navi-gation satellites clocks drifts for the presence of anomalies by the proposed methods and, if possible, to exclude such satellites from the data used to solve the PPP problem. Our proposed methods for detecting and accounting for anomalies in the orbits and clocks of navigation satellites, in addition to obvious appli-cations to solving ground navigation problems, are also applicable to monitoring the quality of the space and ground segments of the GLONASS and GPS systems.

Application of Zernike moments based digital watermarks for photo document electronic archive management

Application of Zernike moments based digital watermarks for photo document electronic archive management

Shipulin P. M., Lebedev R. V., Sosnovskiy M. S.

Статья научная

In this article authors are considering information security data integrity problem relevant for electronic archive management. In high-tech industry large electronic photo archives arise as a part of quality management. Photofixation applied for responsible operations control, documenting technological process, fixing the components state on input and output control, incongruities registration. An image substitution or reuse possibility makes necessary electronic archive proto document integrity control. These illegal actions can be both the result of an operator’s mistake and motivated by intentional defect concealment. As a solution authors suggest an electronic archive organizing method for storing photo documents. The method based on a digital watermark labeling of full-color images with orthogonal Zernike moments calculated for certain image points (and their neighborhoods). Suggested method can prevent watermark destruction by geometric image transformation (rotation, compressing, reflection etc.). Digital watermark contains both information about technological process on current image and information about other images – this fact allows talking about integrity of the whole photo documents set. One of the most important method characteristic is image format invariability and making additional metadata files unnecessary which allows user to apply standard software for a further work with photo document.

Applied classification problems using ridge regression

Applied classification problems using ridge regression

Kononova N. V., Mangalova Е. S., Stroev А. V., Cherdantsev D. V., Chubarova О. V.

Статья научная

The rapid development of technical devices and technology allows monitoring the properties of different physical nature objects with very small discreteness of the data. As a result, one can accumulate large amounts of data that can be used with advantage to manage an object, a multiply connected system, and a technological enterprise. However, regardless of the field of activity, the tasks associated with small amounts of data remains. In this case the dynamics of data accumulation depends on the objective limitations of the external world and the environment. The conducted research concerns high-dimensional data with small sample sizes. In this connection, the task of selecting informative features arises, which will allow both to improve the quality of problem solving by eliminating “junk” features, and to increase the speed of decision making, since algorithms are usually dependent on the dimension of the feature space, and simplify the data collection procedure (do not collect uninformative data). As the number of features can be large, it is impossible to use a complete search of all features spaces. Instead of it, for the selection of informative features, we propose a two-step random search algorithm based on the genetic algorithm uses: at the first stage, the search with limiting the number of features in the subset to reduce the feature space by eliminating “junk” features, at the second stage - without limitation, but on a reduced set features. The original problem formulation is the task of supervised classification when the object class is determined by an expert. The object attributes values vary depending on its state, which makes it belong to one or another class, that is, statistics has an offset in class. Without breaking the generality, for carrying out simulation modeling, a two-alternative formulation of the supervised classification task was used. Data from the field of medical diagnostics of the disease severity were used to generate training samples.

Applying software-mathematical models of onboard equipment to develop onboard software

Lomaev Yu. S., Ivanov I. A., Tolstykh A. V., Islentev E. V.

Статья научная

This paper deals with the testing of the functioning logic of spacecraft subsystems at the stage of developing system onboard software. The increasing complexity of the structure and operation logic of spacecraft due to the increased requirements in terms of providing consumers with information services (navigation, satellite monitoring of transport, geodesy, communications etc.) demands maintaining the reliability of uninterrupted operation, the implementation of automated parrying of emergency situations during the operation of spacecraft onboard equipment. In order to meet these requirements, it is necessary to test the interaction of onboard equipment and onboard integrated computing complex software that implements the target-oriented operation of spacecraft onboard systems. In such a case, meeting the requirements for reliability increase of onboard software should not lead to the increase of the manufacturing period of spacecraft. In this work we propose the approach for testing information and logical interaction between onboard equipment and software of a spacecraft onboard integrated computing complex with the use of a laboratory testing sample unit and a software-mathematical model. We described the basic concepts of conducting two-stage testing of onboard software, involving autonomous and system testing on the ground testing complex. The proposed approach is applied as part of the onboard software development cycle in accordance with the standards of the JSC “Academician M.F. Reshetnev “Information Satellite Systems”. The approach proposed in this work helps reduce the number of errors during onboard software development and testing of information and logical interaction between onboard equipment and a spacecraft as a whole in every operation mode.

Approach to optimization of the magnetic circuit of a three-phase induction plant

Approach to optimization of the magnetic circuit of a three-phase induction plant

A. A. Tyapin, E. S. Kinev, S. S. Bezhitsky

Статья научная

The article describes an approach to optimization of the electromagnetic regimes of an induction metallurgical plant, designed to mix liquid aluminum under the influence of a running magnetic field. To improve the properties of the molten metal in the furnace, short pole linear magnetohydrodynamic machines with copper windings and a steel core are used. The open configuration of the magnetic circuit and the magnetic coupling between the windings of the inductor lead to asymmetry of the magnetic field. As a rule, a low-frequency transistor inverter is used in the power supply system of metallurgical machines intended to affect non-ferrous metals. Asymmetrical currents in the phases create specific modes of the frequency converter, close to emergency, and a two-phase, three-phase or multi-phase power supply system may become unbalanced. To calculate the integral magnetic fluxes in the toothed zone of an induction installation, it is convenient to apply a multiphase nonlinear model of a magnetic circuit. As a result of the iterative calculation, vector magnetic flux diagrams are obtained and the tractive forces in the melt are estimated. The best conditions for the impact on the melt are obtained with a given objective function when searching for options during optimization of the magnetizing forces of the windings.

Attribute features application in specification of regression model of apartments cost

Attribute features application in specification of regression model of apartments cost

Pashkovskaya O. V., Brening D. V.

Статья научная

In the study of statistical data with a pronounced endogenous variable, it is necessary to identify factors (explanatory variables) that have a strong impact on the result. In this, factors can be both quantitative and attributive. To assess influence of numerical features, regression analysis methods can be used. Influence of attributive features is not taken into account. However, often these are they who make the decisive contribution to variation of the result. It is necessary to develop methods for analyzing influence of attributive features and accounting for these features in regression models. On the example of sets of apartments proposed for sale in the city of Krasnoyarsk, a new method is used to assess influence of attributive features on the quantitative using ranking them in accordance with their influence on the endogenous variable. Method of fictitious variables is used to analyze the attribute features. Each attribute with m values is assigned (m-1) dummy variables and a regression model is constructed. Influence of exogenous variables can be expressed using standardized regression coefficients. In this case, influence of attributes can be estimated by cumulative correlation coefficient calculated on the basis of a regression model with fictitious variables. For further research, set is proposed to rank, assigning each element a "rank" – value of a standardized coefficient which reflects closeness of the relationship with the endogenous variable. Thus, all features have a numerical value. A standardized regression model is constructed. Proposed approach can be used in the analysis of statistical aggregates, units of which are characterized by quantitative and attributive features.

Статья научная

For successful technological process in automated control systems it is necessary to maintain technological parameters constantly at the required level, which is ensured by the use of automated process control systems (APCS). The classical solution of this problem is the application of control devices of various types, the choice of which directly depends on the system under consideration and the requirements to it. The leading position among the automatic control system regulators for the last decades belongs to the proportional-integral-differentiating (PID) regulator, which efficiency of application in the technological process is defined by the speed and accuracy of its work. These qualities directly depend on the correct setting of the regulator parameters. The synthesis of regulators requires using of modern computer-aided design systems. The article presents the method of automatic setting of PID-regulator of the dynamic system of high order with negative feedback on the example of automatic room temperature control system. The modern Russian environment of dynamic simulation of technical systems SimInTech applied at a number of nuclear, oil refining and aerospace enterprises is used as the environment for system model development, as well as the process of its analysis and optimization. The main components of the system and transfer functions of its elements are presented. The stepby- step description of the process of project construction from standard software blocks and submodels, interacting through a single database with the use of built-in programming language, is described. The use of the built-in block of SimInTech visual simulation environment optimization for automated search of PID-regulator parameters is described in details and illustrated. The advantages and disadvantages of this adjustment method revealed during the project implementation are listed.

Статья научная

Currently, design and manufacture of liquid-propellant rocket engines (LRE) are imposed with ever greater reliability requirements. Accordingly, the standards for the design and manufacture of rocket engine units are raising. One of these units is a turbopump unit (TNA), which provides continuous supply of liquid components from combustion reaction to the combustion chamber of a rocket engine to create traction or other engine units. TNA is also the main source of pressure increase for these liquid components in front of the LRE combustion chamber. Important requirements are imposed on a turbopump unit (TNA): ensuring work performance and basic parameters for a given resource with the necessary possible pauses of a specified duration; providing all engine operating modes, supplying the fuel components of the required flow rate and pressure, guarantying a high degree of reliability with acceptable entire unit efficiency; providing high anti-cavitation characteristics of the pump in all modes. In the article, the authors summarize the latest results of the study on cavitation in turbopump units of liquid propellant rocket engines alongside with the relevant research in the field of hydraulics. The problems of cavitation in cryogenic liquids, simulation of stall characteristics, and usability of various models to simulate cavitation flow are observed. A solution to the problems of flow modeling was considered with respect to applicability to the following structural elements of LRE units: interscapular space of the screw centrifugal main and booster pumps, axial pre-pump. Particular attention is paid to the implementation of various numerical methods based on the use of various cavitation models, computational fluid dynamics in various CFD packages, and also comparison of results with the model. In summary, the authors draw conclusions about the possibility of applying these methods to solve the problems of the cavitation phenomenon research in LRE.

Статья научная

The thermal control system (TCS) is one of the most important systems, which largely determines the design of the spacecraft. At the present stage of development of methods and tools for spacecraft design, a promising direction is the creation of thermal mathematical models of the TCS, calculation algorithms, which allow to create effective design solutions at various design stages. The purpose of this work is to bring the system of equations of heat balances of the liquid circuit (LC) of TCS to a form that allows programmatic numerical integration in the solution search algorithm along the length of the middle line of the heat and mass exchange fluid circuit taking into account certain complex thermal resistances. In fact, this means that the terms of the temperature of the contour and the linear coordinate, the integration variable, should remain as variables in the equation record, everything else should be numerically determined from the properties of the real object. For the boundary conditions of the LC TCS of the spacecraft, the coefficients of complex heat transfer were calculated taking into account the actual topology of the circuit and the thermal properties of the coolant. Using these values, the system of thermal balances of the spacecraft of the spacecraft on the characteristic surfaces of constant temperatures was reduced to a form that allows a numerical solution: the number of equations corresponds to the number of detected temperatures along the north and south panels and is closed through the temperature of the liquid circuit refrigerant. The resulting system of equations allows us to investigate the thermal state of nonhermetic formation spacecraft at the stage of preliminary design with varying operational and design parameters in order to determine the area of efficiency and the area of optimal operation under certain performance criteria.

Calculation of heat transfer characteristics of a finned wall

E. N. Vasil'ev

Статья научная

The reliability and resource of the radio-electronic equipment of the spacecraft is increased by ensuring op-timal temperature conditions. Thermal control systems maintain the set temperature mode and heat removal from the onboard equipment to the surrounding space. Finned heat exchangers are an important element of the de-sign of thermal control systems, which allows intensifying the heat transfer process. The calculation of the char-acteristics of finned heat exchangers must be carried out taking into account their parameters and the physical properties of the heat transfer agent. The organic liquid LZ-TK-2, which has a very low freezing point and other useful performance characteristics, is considered as a heat transfer agent. The dependences of the local heat transfer coefficient of the LZ-TK-2 heat transfer agent on the wall temperature are calculated using criteria equations. Based on the numerical solution of the two-dimensional problem of thermal conductivity, the tempera-ture fields in finned walls of various configurations are determined. Calculations of the heat transfer coefficient of the finned wall of the heat exchanger were made in two model approximations, the error of using a simplified approximation that does not take into account the temperature dependence of the local heat transfer coefficient was determined.

Modern and promising dynamic systems of aviation weapon systems of the Aerospace Forces (hereinaf-ter for brevity in the text – the system) are characterized by a more complex structure and increased re-quirements for reliability and efficiency of functioning. Moreover, systems of generation 4 ++ and 5 are quite unique and (or) small-scale, and their constituent elements are basically miniature and expensive, therefore, a prerequisite for fulfilling the requirements for traceability to systems and constituent elements is the maximum possible preservation of the quality of the initial basis with the inevitable new interpreta-tion of additional information. Further introduction of artificial intelligence technologies into the practice of solving problems of technical diagnostics makes it possible to obtain adequate results with almost any accuracy. The reliability of the results will be determined solely by the punctuality of the data assignment and the completeness of the mathematical description of systems, processes and events in the subject area under consideration. Therefore, it should be expected that the further development of the theory and prac-tice of technical diagnostics will follow the path of a deeper study of the physical processes occurring in systems, and a more accurate mathematical specification of procedures for finding the place of failure of systems. The aim of the work is to establish the development of an interconnected set of mathematical and logical block diagrams for obtaining and applying diagnostic knowledge in the software and mathematical support of modern and advanced onboard means of monitoring the technical state of systems. The priority direction in such studies is the differentiated selection of approved methods of technical diagnostics with the choice of the appropriate mathematical and algorithmic apparatus for direct probabilistic modeling of systems. A block diagram is presented and a variant of the practical application of the developed algorithm for sequential recognition of system failures (hereinafter referred to as an algorithm, if it is clear from the context of the presentation of the material that it is the developed algorithm) is considered. By using the algorithm, there is no need for decomposition of systems, and the potential for multiple repetitions of the results of a random process of changing the technical states of systems predetermines the possibility of ob-taining large samples with high accuracy of software compilation.
