Анализ состояния вопроса утилизации низкопотенциальных энергетических ресурсов на объектах малой энергетики

Studying the issues of recovery of low-potential energy at smallscale energy facilities allowed to show the promising character of the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) technology as a technology for recovery or conversion of low-potential energy.The most promising developments in the field of the use and recovery of waste heat are described regarding application of ORC, which is widely used in geothermal sources, hot water boilers, gas turbine plants. Due to the constantly growing diversity of working fluids, ORC can be used within a wide temperature range from 100°C to over 350°C. Also, developments are underway in the design of ORC generators to increase reliability of its individual system units, such as turbines and expanders. Based on the above factors, it can be concluded that with a deeper study of the problems of adopting ORC technologies, they can become a very promising direction in development of heat power engineering.It has been determined that the main factor hindering the widespread adoption of the ORC technology is associated with high cost of heat exchange equipment due to increased heat exchange surfaces. It is shown that design of mini power plants and energy centres based on the use of low-potential energy requires improvement of mathematical modelling methods to reliably determine operating modes and characteristics of each of the units. Methods for modelling evaporation and condensation systems, including turbines and expanders using organic low-boiling working fluids, should be considered among the methods that are highly sought after. The methods for selecting a working fluid for ORC devices also have a significant impact on characteristics of the installation determining the range of cycle operating temperatures and pressures. The solution of the above problems can lead to a reduction in the cost of heat exchange equipment, and, consequently, to a decrease in costs for design of ORC generators. В статье рассмотрены вопросы утилизации низкопотенциальных энергетических ресурсов на объектах малой энергетики. Показана перспектива использования технологии органического цикла Ренкина (ОЦР) в качестве технологии утилизации или преобразования низкопотенциальной энергии.Приведены разработки в области реализации и утилизации бросового тепла. Наиболее перспективные из них представлены в применении ОЦР, который широко используется на геотермальных источниках, в водогрейных котельных, газотурбинных установках. За счёт постоянного растущего сортамента рабочих тел ОЦР может применяться в широком температурном диапазоне, начиная от 100°С и заканчивая свыше 350°С. Также ведутся разработки в области проектирования ОЦР-генераторов с целью повышения надёжности отдельных узлов системы, таких как турбины и детандеры. Исходя из вышеперечисленных факторов, можно сделать вывод, что при более глубоком исследовании проблем внедрения ОЦР-технологий они могут стать весьма перспективным направлением в развитии теплоэнергетики.Определено, что основным фактором, препятствующим широкому внедрению ОЦР-технологии, является высокая стоимость теплообменного оборудования из-за повышенных теплообменных поверхностей. Показано, что проектирование миниэлектростанций и энергокомплексов на основе использования низкопотенциальной энергии требует совершенствования методов математического моделирования для достоверного определения режимов работы и характеристик каждого из агрегатов. К востребованным следует отнести методы моделирования испарительных и конденсационных систем, в том числе турбин и детандеров, работающих на органических низкокипящих рабочих телах. Методики выбора рабочего тела для ОЦР-устройств также оказывают существенное влияние на характеристики установки, которые определяют диапазон эксплуатационных температур и давлений цикла. Решение вышеуказанных задач способно привести к удешевлению теплообменного оборудования, а, следовательно, снижению издержек на проектирование ОЦР-генераторов.

The local crystallization in nanoscale diamond-like carbon films during annealing

The local crystallization during annealing at 600° C in nanoscale diamond-like carbon coatings films grown by pulsed vacuum-arc deposition method was observed using modern techniques of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The crystallites formed by annealing have a face-centred cubic crystal structure and grow in the direction [011] as a normal to the film surface. The number and size of the crystallites depend on the initial values of the intrinsic stresses before annealing, which in turn depend on the conditions of film growth. The sizes of crystallites are 10 nm for films with initial compressive stresses of 3 GPa and 17 nm for films with initial compres- sive stresses of 12 GPa. Areas of local crystallization arising during annealing have a structure dif- ferent from the graphit

Patterns of calcium oxalate monohydrate crystallization in complex biological systems

The paper presents the features of calcium oxalate crystallization in the presence of additives revealed through experimental modeling. The patterns of phase formation are shown for the Ca{2+} – C[2]O[4]{ 2–} – H[2]O and Ca{2+} – C[2]O[4]{2–} – PO[4]{3–} – H[2]O systems with the components and pH of the saline varying over a wide concentrations range. The effect of additives on crystallization of calcium oxalate monohydrate was investigated. It was found that the ionic strength and magnesium ions are inhibitors, and calcium oxalate and hydroxyapatite crystals are catalysts of calcium oxalate monohydrate crystallization. The basic calcium phosphate (apatite) was found to be most thermodynamically stable, which indicates its special role in kidney stone formation since it is found in virtually all stones
