Abstract: In accordance with results of analysis of state-of-the-art theoretical and experimental research works, analysis and synthesis of data on the impact of extreme impacts on structures of existing nuclear power plants (including NPP "Fukushima-1", Japan), and other unique objects, the existing regulations, corresponding design codes and procedures do not fully take into account the specific definition of extreme (special) external loads and impacts on the main building of NPP, and, therefore, require clarification and development. The distinctive paper is devoted to advanced methods of analysis, choice of appropriate and correct methods and software application packages for numerical simulation of external loads and impacts on the basic structures of nuclear power plants (wind hurricane, tornado, plane crash, the impact of the shock wave, seismic and tsunami effect). Results of development, adaptation and verification (with the use of universal software application packages) within representative number of sample problems, dealing with advanced methods of analysis, definition of loads and impacts on the basic structures of nuclear power plants are presented. The results of analysis showed correctness and effectiveness of the developed numerical methods of advanced analysis and definition of extreme external loads and impacts on NPP structures of a new generation.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the mathematical modeling of vacuum conductive timber drying. Analysis of known mathematical models allowed revealing their advantages and disadvantages. The modeling block diagram based on the drying periods is proposed. Lykov’s equations have been selected to solve heat and mass transfer problems. The comparison of experimental and calculated data has been conducted.

Abstract: Utilization of industrial waste in foundry engineering is one of approaches for decrease of production cost price. This technological process may be based on exothermic oxidation-reduction reaction with the resulting formation of iron from dross. Initial charge mixture consists of dispersed aluminum, iron dross and admixtures. This paper is concerned with mathematical modeling of thermite steel production. Presented model takes into account thermal, mechanical and kinetic processes occurring in aluminothermic method of steel melt production.

Abstract: Numerical research of heat and mass transfer processes at dispersed condensed substance ignition by metallic particle heated to high temperatures was developed. It was established the influence of “hot” particle parameters on the main integrated characteristic of process – ignition delay time.

Abstract: The mathematical model of pulsed electric contact sintering of carbide powder compositions are suggested and investigated. The distributions of temperature, density and thickness of the rate during sintering are determined

Abstract: Two-dimensional model of sintering Ti and Cu powders substrate under controlled heating, taking into account the kinetic and thermal phenomena are proposed and studied. The base is ceramic. The system of chemical reactions is written according to the phase diagram of Ti-Cu. The model takes into account that the chemical reactions are slowed layer product. The problem is solved numerically. The temperature distribution and concentration of elements or compounds at different times for different synthesis conditions are determined. It is shown that at any process organization the synthesized material becomes chemically heterogeneous.

Abstract: This paper presents the development of a model of plate oxygen cutting. The new model takes into account not only the heat release due to the oxidation reaction, but the melting of the metal in the cutting zone. Important role plays the dependence of the heat capacity on temperature.

Abstract: The study gas multistage separation at the preliminary preparation of crude oil by means of computer simulation was performed. Different models have been used as the phase state equations in HYSYS software: Peng-Robinson, Grayson-Street-Choa-Seeder, Peng-Robinson-Twu, Suave-Redlich-Kwong, Twu-Sim-Tassone. The carry-over saving of liquid oil components into off gases approximately is 40–60% while optimizing thermobaric conditions of the separation was obtained. The semi-empirical model obtained on the basis statistical processing of the results of laboratory experiments was proposed. The proposed semi-empirical model has a slight deviation for the first and the second separators. There is a negative effect in the third separator, but it is not significant in comparison with the positive effect in the first and the second separators.

Abstract: Modeling ideas of physical and chemical processes when using an anodic bonding for materials connection are developed. The kinetics of a charge accumulation in an electrode region in a dielectric is considered. The thickness of a charge layer, electric fields strength and value of the ponderomotive pressure providing connection of materials are calculated. It is shown that the necessary ponderomotive pressure resulting in a dielectric-to-conductor seal is normally about ten MPa and the time required is about ten minutes.

Abstract: Two-dimensional model of different material joining using solid-phase synthesis has been formulated. The model represents two-dimensional coupled thermal conductivity problem with allowance for the heat release due to chemical reaction course in an adhesive composition. The problem has been solved numerically with the help of a non-explicit difference scheme, coordinate splitting and linear double-sweep method. The influence of thermophysical parameters difference on the temperature and conversion degree fields, reaction zone width and conversion zone propagation velocity have been determined.
