Deformations of Existing Buildings, Caused by Construction Activities

Construction of a new building (NB) affects existing adjacent old buildings (OB) during pit excavation, piling, footing and NB erection. Two relevant history cases are described. In the first one, the graphs of OB settlements versus distance from the pit are given for the period of pit excavation and the total settlements for the period of NB erection. The second case gives the family of OB settlement time-related graphs versus distance from the pit, in which these settlements were caused by piling operations

Crude Oil Distillation with Superheated Water Steam: Parametrical Sensitivity and Optimization

Stability of crude oil distillation units was analyzed with mathematical models developed using Aspen Hysys. Parametrical sensitivities of light fractions yields, heat duties and steam load of column trays to perturbations of superheated steam flow rate were estimated. Objective function based on the light products yields and energy consumption for distillation was formed. The maxima of the objective function were calculated depending on operational parameters and flow rate of water steam

Thrust Vector Control within a Geometric Sphere, and the Use of Euler's Tips to Create Jet Technology

This study aims to study the issues of choosing promising directions for the development of jet technology with the creation of energy-conserving technologies. The purpose of this article is to study the issues of choosing promising directions for the development of jet technology with the creation of energy-saving. Methodological approaches have been developed for solving inventive problems within the framework of training modern designers-inventors. A new patentable jet unit has been developed and presented, which makes it possible to control the thrust vector within a complete geometric sphere (when the thrust vector is capable of deviating to any angle ranging from +180° to -180°). For the first time, demonstration versions of a nozzle apparatus capable of realizing such flow reversals through annular channels are shown. The results of computer modeling of nozzle devices are focused on energy, production, and processing of hydrocarbons when distributing energy flows at process facilities. The individual results of the ongoing work can also be used in other industries, for instance, in the creation of small-sized high-speed unmanned vehicles for search and rescue operations. Proposals have been prepared to improve the methodology for solving inventive problems as part of the development of Leonard Euler’s ideas. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-10-011 Full Text: PD

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Simulation of Mesh Jet Devices for Promising Energy-Saving Technologies

This paper discusses the development of mesh jet devices for hybrid turbines, including developing Euler's ideas, and considers a new patented version of a mesh jet device designed to create guiding devices for turbines. The research methods are based on simulations using CFD and additive technologies. An intermediate conclusion is that a new scientific direction for the study and creation of mesh jet control systems has been formed as part of developing Euler's ideas. Calculation methods showed possible improvements in the performance of jet devices, including the use of curved tubes proposed by Euler to create turbines. This study shows that at the nozzle or mixing chamber outlet, the jet can deflect by an angle from +180° to -180° within the geometric sphere. This study also shows that the scientific groundwork prepared by Euler is not yet fully understood. The ongoing research mainly focuses on creating multi-mode jet devices designed for control systems for mesh turbomachines. Here, power consumption from an external source can be reduced to save energy. Some results of ongoing studies can also be applied in other industries (for example, when creating hybrid propulsion systems or propulsors). The scientific novelty of this work consists of improving the design methodology of jet machinery and turbomachines. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-12-06 Full Text: PD

Designing Mesh Turbomachinery with the Development of Euler’s Ideas and Investigating Flow Distribution Characteristics

This research discusses developing an Euler turbine-based hybrid mesh turbomachinery. Within the framework of mechanical engineering science, turbomachinery classification and a novel method for mesh turbomachinery design were considered. In such a turbomachine, large blades are replaced by a set of smaller blades, which are interconnected to form flow channels in a mesh structure. Previous studies (and reasoning within the framework of inductive and deductive logic) showed that the jet mesh control system allows for operation with several flows simultaneously and provides a pulsed flow regime in flow channels. This provides new opportunities for expanding the control range and reducing the thermal load on the turbomachine blades. The novel method for performance evaluation was confirmed by the calculation: the possibility of implementing pulsed cooling of blades periodically washed by a hot working gas flow (at a temperature of 1000°C) and a cold gas flow (at a temperature of 20°C) was shown. The temperature of the blade walls remained 490–525°C. New results of ongoing research are focused on creating multi-mode turbomachinery that operates in complicated conditions, e.g., in offshore gas fields. Gas energy is lost and dissipated in the throttle at the mouth of each high-pressure well. Within the framework of ongoing research, the environmentally friendly net reservoir energy of high-pressure well gas should be rationally used for operating a booster compressor station. Here, the energy consumption from an external power source can be reduced by 50%, according to preliminary estimates. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-11-017 Full Text: PD

Electrochemical ortho functionalization of 2-phenylpyridine with perfluorocarboxylic acids catalyzed by palladium in higher oxidation states

The electochemical oxidation of palladium acetate or palladium perfluoroacetate in the presence of 2-phenylpyridine promotes catalytic ortho C-H substitution reactions. As possible intermediates, Pd(II) metallacycles with Pd-bound acetate, perfluoroacetate, and perfluoroheptanoate substituents have been isolated and characterized: binuclear [(PhPy)Pd(μ-OAc)]2 and [(PhPy)Pd(μ-TFA)]2 and mononuclear [(PhPy)Pd(TFA)](CH 3CN), [(PhPy)Pd(TFA)](PhPy), and [(PhPy)Pd(PFH)](PhPy). The fluorinated derivatives were found to exist in solvent-dependent equilibria between mononuclear and binuclear forms. Cyclic voltammetry was used to elucidate redox properties of the palladacycles and the oxidation route to the final products. © 2013 American Chemical Society
