Heat transfer in the centrifugal force field for gas turbines elements

Heat transfer in the centrifugal force field for gas turbines elements

A. A. Zuev, A. A. Arngold, E. V. Khodenkova

Статья научная

The study of heat transfer from combustion products (CP) to the impeller and the casing of gas turbines of liquid rocket engines (LRE) is an urgent task. The solution of the flow problem, taking into account heat transfer, in rotational flows, in the flowing parts of the turbopump units (TPU) of the rocket engine, is carried out by the following methods: numerical methods; analytical approach, when solving the equations of dynamic and temperature boundary layers; as well as using empirical dependencies. The temperature parameter of the gaseous combustion products and, as a consequence, the heat exchange between the combustion products and the structural elements of the flow part, significantly affects the working and energy characteristics of the TPU LRE. When designing gas turbines of LRE, it is necessary to take into account the presence of heat exchange processes, the working fluid temperature distribution and the structural element temperatures in the cavities of the TPU LRE (since energy losses and viscosity depend on the temperatures of the working fluid, and also determine the flow parameters). The temperature distribution in the structural elements determines the performance and reliability of the unit. In the case of the use of cryogenic fuel components in the TPU LRE units the heating of the component leads to the implementation of cavitation modes and a drop in operating and energy characteristics. On the other hand, a lowered temperature of the working fluid leads to an increased viscosity of the components and, as a consequence, a decrease in the efficiency of the unit (especially when using gel-like components). When studying heat transfer in the field of centrifugal forces for elements of rocket engine gas turbines it is necessary to obtain a joint solution of the equations of dynamic and temperature boundary layers in the boundary conditions of the flow parts. This article offers a model of the distribution of dynamic and temperature boundary layers taking into account the convective component (for the case of a gaseous working fluid, i. e. Pr < 1), which is necessary for the analytical solution and determination of the heat transfer coefficient in the boundary conditions of the flow cavities of the LRE turbine. The energy equation has been analytically obtained for the boundary conditions of the temperature boundary layer, which allows integration over the surface of any shape, which is necessary in determining the thickness of the energy loss. Taking into account the integral relation, the heat transfer law of the turbulent boundary layer for the rotation cavities is written. The equations for determining the heat transfer coefficient in the form of the Stanton criterion for rectilinear uniform and rotational flows for cases of turbulent flow regimes were obtained analytically. The obtained equations for heat transfer coefficients are in good agreement with experimental data and dependences of other authors.

Honeycomb fillers manufacturing technology from polymeric composite materals

Rudenko M. S., Mikheev A. E., Girn A. V.

Статья научная

The honeycomb filler is an integral part of the spacecraft's sandwich panel. Currently, a honeycomb filler made of aluminum alloys is used. The proposed technology makes it possible to replace the honeycomb filler material from aluminum alloys with polymer composite materials (PCM). The main difference between the developed technology for the production of honeycomb filler by the RTM method is that corrugated tape is glued during the formation of the composite material. This is a separate process in the existing methods for the production of honeycomb cores from PCM. This paper presents the results of creating a prototype of a honeycomb filler by the RTM-method, a technological process has been developed.

Identification and simulation mathematical model of thermo and physical loading of a small-caliber artillery barrel

Podkopaev A.V., Babadzhanov A.B., Podkopaev I.A., Dolzhikov V.I.

Статья научная

An artillery shot is a complex gas and thermodynamic process of rapidly converting the chemical energy of gunpowder into heat, and then into mechanical work of moving the projectile and the recoil parts of the artillery gun. A distinctive feature of the use of aviation artillery weapons is the short time during which firing from an aircraft at a target is possible, which requires the production of not one artillery shot, but the firing of the maximum number of shells with minimal interruptions between bursts of shots. An analysis of the existing physical concepts of the processes occurring in a small-caliber artillery barrel (hereinafter referred to as the barrel) makes it possible to single out the main quantitative characteristic of the temperature state that affects the quality of the functioning of aviation artillery weapons – the temperature field of the barrel. The temperature field, high in level and gradients, formed in the barrel wall during firing, bursts and series of shots, has a significant impact on the reduction in the tactical, technical and operational characteristics of aviation artillery weapons. Therefore, the problem of synthesizing a mathematical model of thermophysical loading of a wellbore (hereinafter referred to as the model if it is clear from the context of material presentation that we are talking about the developed model) and the definition of the temperature field is of great importance for solving a number of practical applications. These include: assessment of bore wear depending on heating; analysis of the thermal strength of the barrel material; analysis of the conditions of projectile guidance along the bore and cartridge case extraction during firing; evaluation of various ways and methods of artificial cooling of shafts; determination of the safety of aviation artillery weapons by eliminating the event of self-activation of a thermally loaded cartridge located in a barrel heated by firing; ensuring the conditions for maintaining the operability of fuses, etc. At the same time, an adequate calculation of non-stationary heat transfer in the bore is difficult, due to the incomplete reliability of the initial data and the dynamics of fast processes in the use of aviation artillery weapons. The aim of the work is to improve mathematical tools that describe the thermodynamic states of the barrel based on the basic functional dependencies of internal ballistics and a dispersed combination of heat transfer methods and finite differences. Numerous and comprehensive testing of the synthesized model, comparison of the calculation results with the data of the classical theory, self-similar solutions and experimental data confirmed the reliability and predetermined the sufficient suitability of the model for its intended use as the objects of research become more complex.

Udod L.V., Aplesnin S.S., Abdelbaki H., Konovalov S.O.

Статья научная

Bismuth stannates Bi2Sn2–хFeхO7, х = 0,1; 0,2, which reveal the properties of multiferroics, are investigated. The mechanism of interaction between dielectric and electronic subsystems is studied, based on measurements of electrical resistance at alternating current, impedance, capacitance and dielectric loss tangent in the temperature range 100–600 K at frequencies 102–106 Hz. From the comparison of dielectric permittivity and the reactive component of impedance, the paramagnetic contribution of electrons to the dynamic magnetic susceptibility was established. Impedance jumps on temperature were detected as a result of changes in structural characteristics. The temperature dependences of the permittivity are described in the Debye model. The activation character of relaxation time and two relaxation channels are found. The activation energy of electrons in the migratory polarization is calculated.

V.V. Koshlakov, S.V. Mosolov, A.G. Klimenko, E.Sh. Akbulatov, V.P. Nazarov, E.V. Gerasimov

Статья научная

Creating the spacecraft propulsion systems with high energy efficiency and minimal weight and size parameters is an urgent scientific and technical task of the domestic rocket engine industry. At the same time, requirements are put forward to optimize the cost and time of design, development and manufacturing of engines, as well as environmental safety at all stages of the product life cycle. In this regard, it is proposed to use advanced laser 3D printing technologies (additive technologies) from metal powder using CAD models of engine parts in the production of space low thrust rocket engines (LTRE). Laser melting technology on modern 3D printers makes it possible to produce complex monolithic engine structures without the use of labor-intensive and resource-intensive operations of machining, welding, and soldering, as well as a significant reduction in the volume of fitting and assembly operations, control and measuring work, and a decrease in the influence of some non-production factors. The article discusses issues of practical application of promising technologies in the creation of LTRE. The results of fire tests are presented, which will be used to refine the previously developed calculation models of oxygen-hydrogen LTRE when creating advanced rocket engines for spacecraft. The object of the study was an experimental sample of LTRE with a nominal thrust of 150 N using gaseous propellant components oxygen and hydrogen, developed and manufactured using additive technology. The experimental LTRE is considered as a prototype of the engine for orientation, stabilization and launching of the oxygen-hydrogen upper stage. The purpose of the work is to study the effectiveness of previously unexplored design solutions for organizing mixture formation and cooling of an oxygen-hydrogen LTRE, to determine their influence on the perfection of the working process and the thermal state of the engine chamber. Fire tests were carried out in single switching mode with a duration sufficient for the LTRE chamber to reach a stationary thermal regime, with the determination of the energy characteristics and thermal state of the structure.

Improvement of the construction technique of substitution blocks for symmetric encryption algorithms

Improvement of the construction technique of substitution blocks for symmetric encryption algorithms

Merinov A. S., Nesterov K. A., Zhdanov O. N.

Статья научная

As it is known, block symmetric encryption algorithms are widely used to ensure information confidentiality. The resistance of encryption algorithms to the most common types of cryptanalysis is determined the quality of the blocks of substitutions. In the present work, the development of a methodology for constructing substitution blocks is being continued. In the first approach, Boolean functions with given cryptographic properties are used as component functions of substitution blocks. Previously, one of the authors proposed a reasonable methodology for the phased selection of Boolean functions for construction block. In this paper, in addition to such cryptographic properties of Boolean functions, such as: balance, possessing a strict avalanche effect, possessing correlation immunity, for the first time the nonlinearity distances of the first and second orders of Boolean functions are considered simultaneously. A study of the full set of Boolean functions of four variables was conducted. The result of it is the optimal set of Boolean functions for building substitution blocks when encrypted with the GOST 28147-89 algorithm. In the second approach, the substitution block are determined by an irreducible polynomial over the Galois field, such a scheme, used in the Rijndael encryption algorithm, is considered to be strong. The growth of calculating power of the computer necessitates an increase of the cryptographic strength of encryption algorithms. The authors have proposed substitution blocks for each round of the Rijndael scheme, based on different irreducible polynomials. A study of compositions representing a different combination of specially selected irreducible polynomials for ten rounds was carried out and the optimal set of polynomials with the best values of the encryption quality indicators by the Rijndael scheme was obtained.

Improving the security of wireless communication channels for unmanned aerial vehicles by creating false information fields

Improving the security of wireless communication channels for unmanned aerial vehicles by creating false information fields

Basan E.S., Proshkin N.A., Silin O.I.

Статья научная

To date, the problems associated with the safety of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are quite acute. As a rule, when it comes to commercial small-sized UAVs, wireless communication channels are used to con-trol them. Most often, communication is implemented at a frequency of 2.4 GHz using the Wi-Fi protocol. Such a UAV is quite easy to detect by analyzing the radio frequency range or the data link layer. An attack-er, however, may not even have specialized equipment and use open source software. The detected UAV becomes the target for attacks. If it is known that the UAV operates as a wireless access point, then all Wi-Fi-specific attacks become relevant for the UAV. In this study, it is proposed to use the technology of creat-ing false information fields as the first line of defense to increase the resistance of the UAV to attacks. This technology will allow to hide a legitimate UAV communication channel behind a lot of fake ones. The goal is to create fake access points with the characteristics of real ones and emulate data transmission over the channels on which these access points are deployed. In addition to the fact that the technology allows to hide a legitimate UAV communication channel, it will also allow to mislead the attacker. It is important to make the intruder think that not a single UAV is approaching him, but a group. If the intruder attempts to attack decoys, attacker will compromise himself and be able to be detected. Thus, you can use the UAV as a bait. As a result of the pilot study, channels were identified on which the creation of fake access points is most effective. Using small computing power and the necessary antenna, you can achieve high results. This article demonstrates the effectiveness of creating 9 fake access points. A comparison was also made with real wireless network traffic. We can say that the emulated activity is quite close to the real activity.

Increasing software reliability of a distributed control systems

Increasing software reliability of a distributed control systems

Strelavina O.D., Efimov S.N., Terskov V.A., Likharev M.A.

Статья научная

The article considers a method of assessing and improving main parameters of the computer network efficiency. Reliability is the main criteria for ensuring the required performance of distributed control systems. To improve reliability of the computer network hardware and software redundancy are used. Software redundancy requires new versions to be developed for software modules in which failures are likely to occur. The article considers the N-version programming and recovery block as methods of introducing software redundancy and, taking the need to develop multiple versions of the same software module into account, estimates the costs of network software development. To implement the proposed approach article presents mathematical reliability model that takes into consideration the architecture of a computer network software and the labor costs that its development is going to require. This model becomes a basis for a software created to research computer network software reliability, which allows finding the dependence of network software reliability on the number of one of its software module versions. Comparison of the dynamics changes of reliability indicators and labor intensity of software development indicated a sufficient amount of software module versions that need to be developed. The article concludes by pointing out the importance of determining the labor intensity of network software development and of its usage in the design of a computer networks in which reliability is increased through software redundancy.

Increasing the capabilities of a test ballistic missile to separate test objects

Increasing the capabilities of a test ballistic missile to separate test objects

Minyaev S.I.

Статья научная

The subject of this study is the trajectory characteristics of the long-range test ballistic missile (TBM). The purpose of the study is to increase the capabilities of TBM in separating test object (TO). At the same time, as a generalized quantitative measure of this increasing, the post-boost vehicle (PBV) fuel reserve consumed for separation of TO is studied. The design-ballistic task of rationalizing the distribution of the available fuel of the TBM PBV between the following main characteristic section of its flight has been set and numerically and analytically solved: final sustainer stage undershoot compensation; turns with subsequent angular stabilization, retreats and lead away; TO disconnection (separation section). As a result, it is shown that without reducing the quality of TBM launch tasks, it is permissible to redistribute the consumed fuel of the PBV between these section relative to the distribution for a standard ballistic missile (SBM), leading to a significant increase in its reserve consumed in the section of disconnection of the TO (when flying along the ballistic vertical). At the same time, the purpose of the study is achieved – the capabilities of the TBM in the separation of the TO are increased, which, while direct planning of launches is evaluating, can be expressed in an increase in the number and/or total mass of the TO and/or an increase in speed or time intervals in the order of sequential disconnections of the TO. The given numerical examples (using a converted three-stage SBM as a TBM) also show a significant dependence of the amount of fuel increment of the PBV consumed at the TO disconnections of the trajectory conditions of test launches (the corresponding initial data (ID) for calculations are borrowed from the author’s previously published work): length of the route; kinematic parameters of launch at the moment of independent PBV flight beginning determined by the launch task. During the study, methods of flight theory and design ballistics of LR (long range) missiles were used. As a conclusion, it can be noted that the considered task and methods for its solution can be useful (of course, taking into account the necessary specialized improvements) in works of the executive ballistics level when planning and evaluating the result of TBM launches.

Increasing the period of active use of on-board electronic equipment of spacecraft

Increasing the period of active use of on-board electronic equipment of spacecraft

Timofeev A.L., Sultanov A.Kh., Meshkov I.K., Gizatulin A.R.

Статья научная

For electronic equipment of space systems, and primarily memory devices, the task of protection from the effects of ionizing cosmic radiation and other external factors that distort stored and processed information is relevant. This paper proposes a holographic coding method that allows to restore information in the event of a large number of errors. The method is based on recording into memory, instead of the original digital hologram data, a virtual digital object corresponding to a data block. The divisibility property of a hologram is used, which makes it possible to reconstruct a recorded data block from its fragment. The achieved level of noise immunity is determined by the size of the hologram. For an 8-bit data block, recording a 256-bit hologram provides information recovery if 75 % of the recorded hologram is lost. The developed decoder corrects a package of dependent (grouping) errors that distort all bits of the hologram. The number of random independent errors that the decoder corrects can be up to 40 % of the recorded information. The information storage system, resistant to ionizing radiation, is a memory array of increased capacity, taking into account the selected redundancy factor, and a memory controller that performs holographic encoding when recording information and decoding with automatic error correction when reading information. The operating algorithm of the controller itself can be implemented in the form of a programmable logic integrated circuit, or stored in a read-only memory device that is not affected by ionizing radiation.

Increasing the positioning accuracy of the GLONASS system

Increasing the positioning accuracy of the GLONASS system

Timofeev A.L., Sultanov A.Kh., Meshkov I.K., Gizatulin A.R.

Статья научная

The accuracy of determining coordinates in global positioning systems is determined by the number of satellites simultaneously visible to the consumer's navigation equipment. Over most of the earth's surface, there are up to 11 GLONASS satellites above the horizon at the same time, but the signal-to-noise ratio in the communication channel required for error-free information reception is often ensured only for 2-4 satellites. To improve the positioning accuracy, it is proposed to use the holographic noise-immune coding method based on the holographic representation of the digital signal. The message coding process is a mathematical modeling of a hologram created in virtual space by a wave from the input signal source. It is shown that the holographic representation of the signal has significantly greater noise immunity and allows restoring the original digital combination when most of the code message is lost and when the coded signal is distorted by noise several times exceeding the signal level. The studies have shown that the introduction of holographic coding in the GLONASS satellite communication channel will enable consumer navigation equipment to receive information from a larger number of satellites, which will significantly improve the positioning accuracy. In a common situation where the required signal-to-noise ratio is maintained for only 4 GLONASS satellites, the positioning error exceeds 10 meters. Using holographic coding in the same situation, information from 9 satellites will be decoded without error, and the positioning error will be about 2 meters.

Increasing the specific impulse of an oxygen-hydrogen liquid rocket engine by in-creasing heat transfer in the combustion chamber

Increasing the specific impulse of an oxygen-hydrogen liquid rocket engine by in-creasing heat transfer in the combustion chamber

Vasilevsky D.O.

Статья научная

Liquid-propellant rocket engines (LPRE), operating according to a gas-free generator scheme, are used for the upper stages of launch vehicles and upper stages. In engines of this scheme, only cryogenic fuel is used, which provides a high engine STI. Also, a distinctive feature is the absence of a gas generator, the combustion generators of which feed the turbine of the main turbopump unit. In the gas-free LPRE scheme, the turbine is driven by gas-return hydrogen heated in the cooling loop. Therefore, the high parameters of the LRE, such as the pressure in the CC, the thrust of the engine and the specific thrust pulse depend on the effective heat removal from the firing wall of the combustion chamber and the intensification of heat ex-change in the cooling path. There is a number of solutions that allow to increase the amount of heat transferred to the refrigerant in the inter-shirt space. Therefore, the search for an optimal cooling scheme and promising design solutions for the intensification of heat transfer in the engine cooling path will allow us to determine the high param-eters of the LPRE. This article discusses the effect on the thermal state of the combustion chamber of the gas fins installed on the firing wall of the engine. Gas fins belong to the developed heat exchange surfaces and increase the area of the side surface of the combustion chamber. With the help of the developed mathematical model of the cooling chamber of a gas-free LRE, extremes in the intensification of heat exchange in the cooling path have been identified. The dependences of the specific thrust impulse of the engine on the pressure in the combustion chamber and the geometric dimensions of the engine are also obtained.

Influence of a constant electric field on the adsorption purification of water from iron ions

Influence of a constant electric field on the adsorption purification of water from iron ions

Shestakov I. Y., Khilyuk A. V.

Статья научная

Using electrochemical action (ECA) to treat water was first proposed in UK in 1889. At present, many methods of ECA are known (electro flotation, electro coagulation, electro osmosis, electrophoresis, etc.). In the production of rocket and space technology, galvanic technologies are used, as a result of which waste water is contaminated with metal ions. Known methods of wastewater treatment do not allow to ensure the maximum permissible concentration of metal ions in treated water, or are expensive or difficult to operate in industry. Iron ions are among the most polluting components of wastewater of most industries. So increased control and the development of effective methods of wastewater treatment are necessary. Iron affects the intensity of phytoplankton development and the qualitative composition of microflora in reservoirs. The toxicity of iron compounds in water depends on the hydrogen index of water. The alkaline environment dramatically increases the risk of fish poisoning, as in such conditions, iron hydroxides are formed, which are deposited on the gills, clog and corrode them. In addition, iron compounds bind oxygen dissolved in water, which leads to the mass death of fish and other hydrobionts. The article presents the method of conducting experiments, the methods of sorption, electrochemical and combined water treatment, including electrochemical action and adsorption. The results of studies of these methods of water purification from iron ions are presented. The dependence of the degree of purification on the electric field strength, interelectrode distance and water treatment time is revealed. With an electric field strength of 5.16 V/mm, a temperature of 20–22 °C using quartz sand as an adsorbent and a processing time of 1 minute, the concentration of iron ions decreased from 2.5 to 0.25 mg/l (at MPC = 0.3 mg/l). The proposed combined cleaning method requires inexpensive and affordable materials and is easy to operate.

Influence of magnetic field on the dielectric characteristics in manganese sulfide substituted with thulium

Influence of magnetic field on the dielectric characteristics in manganese sulfide substituted with thulium

A.M. Kharkov, S.S. Aplesnin, S.O. Konovalov, A.N. Pavlova, O.S. Nikitinskiy

Статья научная

The properties of a solid solution of thulium-substituted manganese sulfide prepared by melting the ini-tial pure samples of manganese sulfide and thulium sulfide are studied. X-ray diffraction analysis was car-ried out. The face-centered cubic lattice is determined, and the decrease in the intensity of the peaks is found. Dielectric permittivity was measured in the frequency range 102–106 Hz and temperatures 300–500 K in magnetic fields up to 12 kOe in TmxMn1-xS solid solutions (0 < x < 0.15). From the frequency depend-ence of the permittivity, the relaxation time and the relaxation mechanism of the dipole moments are found. The leakage current is excluded, and the contribution of migration polarization due to charges in the re-gion with chemical phase separation is estimated. The real and imaginary components of the permittivity of TmxMn1-xS samples are described in the Debye model. The maximum of the imaginary component of the permittivity shifts towards higher frequencies upon heating, and the relaxation time is described by the Ar-rhenius function. Dielectric losses are caused by electron-phonon interaction. The frequency of the crosso-ver from Debye relaxation to relaxation conduction associated with the absorption and emission of pho-nons is found. The crossover frequency increases as the sample is heated according to a power law. In a magnetic field, the permittivity decreases and the largest change of 2.5 % is achieved at T = 450 K. At oth-er temperatures, the magnetocapacitance does not exceed 0.5 %. The shift of the maximum of the imagi-nary component of the permittivity to low frequencies in a magnetic field leads to a change in the sign of dielectric losses from positive to negative. A qualitative difference in ε(ω) is established in the vicinity of the concentration of thulium ion flow through the FCC lattice, where the permittivity is not described in the Debye model and there is no magnetocapacitance. The mechanism for reducing dielectric losses in a mag-netic field is determined.

Influence of plasma jets of electric jet engines on spacecraft functional characteristics

Influence of plasma jets of electric jet engines on spacecraft functional characteristics

A. B. Nadiradze, S. G. Kochura, I. A. Maximov, R. E. Tikhomirov, S. V. Balashov

Статья научная

The issues of compatibility of correcting electric jet engines (EJE) and large-size transformable antennas (LTA) used in high-orbit communication satellites are considered. The paper deals with the erosive and polluting effect of EJE jets interacting with knitted mesh material (grid mesh), which is used for manufacturing LTA reflectors. The erosive effect of the EJE jets on the LTA mesh is characterized by the fact that the angles of ions incidence on the surface of the threads in the mesh are in the range from 0 to 90, i. e. such effect takes place at practically any angle of ions incidence on the mesh surface. The research includes both mathematical description of physical processes and conducting a wide series of experiments, which makes it possible to achieve the necessary reliability of the results. It has been established that the effect of plasma jets of correcting engines can lead to significant sputtering of the reflecting coating from the surface of a large-size antenna reflector. The authors obtained experimental data on the degradation of the reflection coefficient of electromagnetic radiation from the mesh, depending on the degree of plasma jet influence. It was found that the sputtering of reflecting coating from the surface of threads does not significantly affect the reflection coefficient. The sputtering of the coating at the points of threads contact is much more significant. Strong dependence of the reflection coefficient on the type of mesh weaving was also found. The mechanism of sputtering products deposition on reflecting coatings of the thermal control system radiators was investigated. The results of calculations of the sputtering coefficient and the sputtering indicatrix of the reflecting coating applied to the mesh threads were obtained. The degradation of the functional characteristics of thermoregulatory coatings (TRC) during the deposition of thin films of gold, which is one of the possible materials for a reflecting coating, was experimentally determined. Estimates of the maximum permissible level of TRC contamination were obtained. It is shown that, subject to the relevant design rules, it is possible to use EJE and LTA together in high-orbit communication satellites.

Influence of the chloroplast structure on the density of photon states and the efficiency of solar energy conversion

Influence of the chloroplast structure on the density of photon states and the efficiency of solar energy conversion

Shabanova K.A., Loginov Yu.Yu., Bukhanov E.R., Volochaev M.N., Pyatina S.A.

Статья научная

Due to the absorption of solar energy in chloroplasts – green plastids, solar energy is converted into the energy of chemical bonds. Studying the processes of photosynthesis and increasing its efficiency is relevant for the development of closed life support systems, during long flights in space as well. Chloroplasts are filled with stacks of highly ordered thylakoid membranes (grana). Pigment-protein photosynthetic complexes are located on the border of these membranes. For a long time, the structural characteristics of chloroplasts were not given due attention and they were studied as isotropic substances, but in recent years it has been shown that they have anisotropic properties and a high conversion coefficient during charge separation. In this work, an approach was proposed for a more accurate spatial determination of grana in plant chloroplasts and for determining the size of a single unit. Thylakoid membranes and the boundaries of the facet consisting of them are clearly visible in an electron microscope if the electron beam is directed strictly perpendicularly. It was noticed that when the stage is rotated, different regions of the membranes become either blurred or more distinct, which suggests that the grana in chloroplasts are not located in the same plane. Also, a comparison was made of the influence of different external conditions on the chloroplast structure of a plant, not only through a comparison of morphological characteristics, but also through numerical modeling and comparison of the objects spectral properties. For numerical simulation, periodic lattices were determined for the main structural units of chloroplasts of different samples. On the basis of these gratings, the transmission spectra were calculated using the transfer matrix method. Also, the obtained values of the electromagnetic wave along the lattice made it possible to calculate the graphs of the density of photon states. The results of the calculation method of plots of the density of photon states based on the structure of chloroplasts made it possible not only to assess the possible efficiency of photosynthesis, but also to directly relate these models to the external conditions affecting the plant.

Influence of the magnetic field on transport properties of holmium – manganese sulfide

M. N. Sitnikov, A. M. Kharkov, S. S. Aplesnin, O. B. Romanova

Статья научная

Holmium-manganese sulfide with giant magnetoresistance refers to new magnetic sulfide compounds of holmium and manganese that have the effect of giant magnetoresistance (i. e., with special magnetoelectric properties), which can be used as components of sensor technology, magnetic memory, and spintronics. The technology of manufacturing polycrystals HoXMn1-XS grown by crystallization from the melt of the obtained powdered sulfides with a purity not lower than 99,9 %, in glass-carbon crucibles and a quartz reactor in an argon atmosphere is presented. According to the results of x-ray diffraction analysis, HoXMn1-XS holmium-manganese sulfides have a HCC structure of the NaCl type. As the degree of cationic substitution increases, the unit cell parameter increases linearly with the concentration. No concomitant impurity phases are detected in the synthesized samples. To determine the state of the spin glass, magnetic moment measurements are conducted at several frequencies ω = 1 kHz, 10 kHz and 100 kHz. The dependence of magnetic characteristics on the frequency of measurements is found. The damping of the magnetic moment and its increase with a decrease in temperature is reviled, which is connected with the formation of metastable States. Measurements of electrical resistance without a field and in a magnetic field are conducted. Anomalies in the temperature dependence of the conductivity are found. A change in the magnetoresistance sign is detected with the increase of temperature below and above room temperature.

Статья научная

A new trend of science and technology is now rapidly developing both in Russia and abroad – the development of miniature unmanned aerial vehicles. The key system of on-board control equipment (avionics) of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is the orientation system for determining UAV attitude relative to reference system. In small-size UAV, we can meet the application of strapdown attitude reference systems, magnetometric, pyrometric, video systems, etc. Rapid development of mini- and micro-UAVs requires the development of information-measuring systems (operating on different physical principles) in order to determine UAV attitude parameters in flight. With UAV mass and wingspan reduction, there are growing requirements for these systems, concerning the accuracy of positioning parameters and more compact dimensions. Manufacturing of most information-measuring and control systems of manned aircraft and heavy UAVs rely on traditionally used gyroscopes and accelerometers. They are complex fine-mechanics instruments of considerable power consumption, rather large size, weight and high cost. A significant improvement of the accuracy in UAV angular coordinates determination is achieved by integrating orientation systems of various types. The use of GPS / GLONASS signals also improves the accuracy and reliability of determining UAV angular coordinates and supplies the additional function of measuring its geographical coordinates.
